Phil has also completed the Training Officer Advanced Resuscitation Award and the Silver Medallion Advanced Emergency Care Award this season which is an amazing achievement.
Thanks to Jonathan Farrell, our club has the privilege of a senior assessor to train and assess more courses to enhance the skills and qualifications of our members. Jonathan has given up his time to prepare, train and assess courses in ARC, Spinal Management and Defibrillation, and the club is forever grateful.

If there is anyone else that has not been mentioned, please email me to notify of your course.
A reminder to all members, when completing a course through our club or another, please copy me in on the email atchiefinstructor@collaroysurfclub.com.auso I can chase up your award afterwards.
There are many courses being run through our club and also offered by branch for our members to enhance their skills. It is always good to check the branch website onwww.surflifesaving.net.auto see what courses are running.
As well as the time given up for courses, another thank you goes to Jonathan Farrell and Greg MacMahon for conducting all the different proficiencies this season. Thank you also to Mick Tomblin, Kate Green, Liz Green and Phil Mickan for assisting too. It is an important and large task to complete to make sure our lifesavers and march past teams are equipped with the skills to help save lives.
Our last SRC/Bronze training week is fast approaching on Monday 11th Jan through to Friday 15th January. There are still places left and I encourage everyone without this award to come along and have fun. Andrew Sole will be the main trainer of this course but help is still needed. If you are available to assist with water safety or lunches, please email me at the chief instructor address above and I will forward it on to Andrew.
Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude personally to all the people that have assisted me so far this season. I could not do this job without you.
Happy new year to everyone, and I’ll see you on the beach.
Kind regards
Karla Campbell
