Henley High Heroes: Students Save Lives in West Beach Rescue

 Back to News

Henley High School are immensely proud to celebrate the heroic actions of two brave students. Kai and Cruz have demonstrated exceptional courage and quick thinking during a recent rescue at West Beach with two other friends.

On March 5, while enjoying a surf after school, they noticed a woman signalling for help, her grandson had fallen from rocks and into the dangerous water.​

Without hesitation, the four boys jumped into action to assist. Despite challenging conditions near the rocks, they managed to reach the boy. In a selfless act, the grandmother also entered the water to help, only to become trapped herself. The boys continued to assist until emergency services arrived. Thanks to their bravery, both the boy and his grandmother were safely rescued and unharmed.

This remarkable act of heroism reflects the values these students hold. Kai and Cruz exemplify the best of our school, and we are incredibly proud to have them as part of our community.​
