Following a horror week on NSW beaches, a frightening video of a shark leaping out of the water near a team of high school rowers in Sydney has surfaced.
Another shark scare has hit Sydney, as wild footage emerges of a huge shark leaping out of the water while a team of high school students row close by.
The shark, which is suspected to be a bull shark, breached the water on the Parramatta River at Silverwater on Monday.
It’s understood the children were Year 10 junior rowers from The King’s School and were taking part of holiday rowing camp.
“Holy f**k,” one person behind the camera said as they watch the shark leap out of the water and twist its body erratically.
The King’s School have issued a statement to parents, advising they are taking precautions since the sighting according to reports by 9News.
“On-water sessions will be cancelled if conditions pose an elevated risk of capsize,” the statement read, while small boat training on the water has been cancelled.

Horror moment lifeguards force swimmers out of water at Coogee Beach after shark sighting
Lifeguards have forced…
Lifeguards could be heard ordering the swimmers to clear the water over loud speakers as beachgoers lay nearby on the sand.
“Attention form the lifeguards, we’ve had a number of reports of a bull shark in the area,” he said.
“So we do ask everyone in the water to please return to shore.”
Paddleboarders were urged to help swimmers exit the water.
“And for one of those board paddlers out there – one of the clubby boards – can you please paddle in with that guy swimming,” the lifeguard said.
“Stay safe.”
Swimmers were ordered out of the water on Thursday morning.
Alarms rang throughout the beach.
A Randwick City Council spokesperson confirmed there had been a shark sighting at the iconic beach at 7am Thursday.
“Our lifeguards immediately closed the beach and conducted a thorough search of the area using a jet ski,” they told NewsWire.
No sharks were located and the beach was reopened an hour later.
“Lifeguards will continue to monitor the ocean for sharks via jet skis and CCTV,” they said.
The council urged swimmers to check online if the local beaches were open and stay alert to “conditions that can attract sharks”.
“These include murky water after heavy rain or large swells, low‑light periods such as dawn and dusk, and areas with increased baitfish,” the spokesperson told NewsWire.
“Baitfish often appear as dark patches in the water and can be identified through increased bird activity.”
The Maroubra Community Facebook group urged visitors to “stay out of the water”.
