Patrol Leader PD - successful grant!

The club is excited to provide some personal development for the Patrol Leaders in the areas of

- youth mental health and resilience

- team building

- leadership

- COVID protocols.

This is possible through the support of the Surf Coast Shire COVID 19 Recovery grants and the club would like to thank the council for their support.

The PD will commence later this month and the club is working with our very own club member Sally Cumming who is the Director of Engage Health which is a leading provider of mindfulness and psychological resilience. We will also be engaging Bianca Chatfield who is a past Australian Diamond Netballer, Captain of the Melbourne Vixens and well known leadership coach. The COVID protocols will be covered off by club members who work in the medical field.

We are also planning to invite some other local surf clubs to participate in the activities as with our incredible new building we are keen to utilise the facility as a training hub for the surf coast. The training will be delivered as mix of face to face (restrictions allowing) and virtually.

It is great to be able to provide these sessions to our patrol leaders as a personal development opportunity and to thank them for all they do to keep our beaches safe.
