As part of our commitment to providing resources and events to our community we have organised a day at Tenterfield High on the 17th March for Sam Bloom to tell her story to our local school students.

TENTERFIELD HIGH 2023

Sam Bloom is a 2 x World Para Surfing Champion, bestselling author, and inspiration behind the Australian box-office hit and global Netflix sensation Penguin Bloom, starring and produced by two-time Oscar nominee Naomi Watts.

In 2013, while holidaying in Thailand with her husband and three young sons, Sam suffered horrific injuries in an accident.

Not only was Sam physically broken and facing the daunting reality of never walking again, but her soul and spirit were crushed.

A serendipitous encounter with a frail and injured magpie chick, Penguin, was to transform her attitude, change the course of her recovery, and save her family.

Sam will share her story of survival, determination and courage at our school event, Live Inspire Lead.
