WE’RE CALLING IT: LOOKING AFTER YOURSELF IS THE NEW GOING OUT. FROM LOCAL SCHOOLS AND KIDS SPORT TO WORKOUTS AND WELLNESS, THE GOOD LIFE IS YOUR FEEL-GOOD, DO-GOOD SECTION DESIGNED TO HELP YOU, AND YOUR CREW, LIVE WELL ON THE BEACHES (WITHOUT OVERTHINKING IT).
Let’s start with the basics: swim schools and gyms. Whether your kid is trying to master their backstroke or you’ve decided that this is the year to get strong, The Beaches is full of places to get you moving. Think top-tier swim instructors and a local gym running a transformation challenge that’s equal parts sweat and social.
Health-wise, we’re loving the rise of integrative wellness spots. We’re talking physios and tackling those niggles before they become an issue. It’s like a wellness wonderland out there, and your body (and brain) will thank you.
In news you weren’t expecting, baseball on The Beaches is having a serious moment and nurturing Aussie-grade talent. The local scene is growing, with junior and senior comps welcoming everyone. If the kids are looking for a new summer sport, grab a mitt and get amongst it. (Hot tip: the sausage sizzle at Curly is elite.)
In line with our adventure theme, local schools are getting in on the action. St Augustine’s encourages boys to tackle challenges outside the classroom, John Colet’s Year 6 leaders share their insights, Queenwood has introduced the Independence Project, and Barrenjoey Montessori is taking young learners to new levels.
Let’s not forget our furry family members. From keeping older pets warm and snug this winter to a day in the life of a vet nurse, we’re taking a closer look at the care behind the scenes.
And don’t miss Joe’s Scopes, he’s already picked how winter’s going to play out.
Now go forth and live The Good Life. You’ve got this!
