LSV Member Monday
We are very proud of Ellie Ryan, who featured in this weeks LSV’s Member Monday!
Read below for what she had to say!
"Every year I am super excited for Pink Patrol because I get to connect with so many lifesavers and members who are excited to support female involvement and leadership."
"In my first few years of lifesaving, I was incredibly lucky to have two female patrol captains who mentored me and inspired my passion for lifesaving. I am now a vice-patrol captain and get to lead my patrol alongside another strong female leaders, who I greatly admire.’
– Ellie Ryan

Expression of Interest ~ Assessor & Cert IV Courses
An opportunity has risen for any current Trainer (members who hold the TOC award) to further advance their training and assessment qualifications by obtaining either the Assessor Skill Set or the Cert IV Skill Set.
Assessor Skill Set (ASC)
Members who hold the TOC qualification are highly recommended to obtain the Assessor Skill Set. This will enable you to train and assess all awards (including accredited training courses) without supervision.
For more information about the Assessors Qualification, click HERE
Cert IV Training & Assessment
Members who hold the TOC & ASC qualifications are highly recommended to obtain their Cert IV in training and assessment. This will enable you to facilitate (train & assess) any lifesaving award as well as mentor any trainee trainers/assessors.
Both courses cost over $1000 and is fully funded by LSV (provided the candidate completes all requirements within the time frame).
If you are interested in completing any of the above qualifications, please fill out this form and email training@woolamaibeach.asn.au for a club endorsement.

Presentation Night ~ Save the Date!
The club is happy to announce that we have booked Silverwater Resort for our presentation night on Saturday Night - 28th May 2022! Further details and tickets to the event will be emailed and posted in the near future.
After 2 long years of Online Presentation Nights, It’ll be great to meet everybody in person again. Organising the presentation night is much simpler when many members put their hands up to help out. We need to form an organising committee whose responsibility will be to organise the night and the after party.
If this is something you are interested in doing, please contact Mark Bain - president@woolamaibeach.asn.au
