Education Pathways at Tamarama SLSC & SLS NSW

Got your Bronze Medallion? Looking to make progress in your Surf Life Saving (SLS) journey? There are so many pathways for higher education in SLS at Tamarama and NSW broadly. Here is an infographic made by our very own Chief Education Officer Michelle Cowan that explains the different options available:

Our Summer Look - 86 400 & Tamarama SLSC

        

I did a double take the other day when I noticed that the iconic custard yellow exterior of the Tamarama Surf Lifesaving Club is now sporting a new summery look. She now dons a beautiful shade of aqua, with polka dots of turquoise, sunshine and peach, colours which Julian Ashton put to good use in capturing the redolence of summer days spent at our unique beach. 

    

The grand old dame also sports a few temporary tattoos. These are a cheeky take on Aussie slang for our distinctive banknote colours. The pink $5 note is known as a “prawn”, the $10 note is “a blue swimmer crab” and the red $20 note “a lobster”. “Pineapple” is what many call a $50 note, while a “frog” is slang for a $100 bill. 

      

The makeover is all to drive awareness of a fundraiser in partnership with smartbank 86 400, which we hope will generate the final money needed to renovate the clubhouse next year. 

    

86 400 has generously made a $25,000 donation that will go directly to Tamarama SLSC’s fundraising efforts. On top of that, every Aussie who signs up to 86 400 using the code ‘SMART10’ and makes a purchase will earn themselves $10, plus an additional $10 for Tamarama SLSC, which 86 400 will donate to the club’s redevelopment fund on their behalf. 

     

The clubhouse has been around since 1906, and this final fundraising push will ensure a much-needed renovation that will set us up for a further 100 years, meaning we can continue to serve the community through life-saving patrols, education programs and community use of the upgraded clubhouse 

      

Given the year we’ve all had, we can all look forward to some cheer and merriment, so if we can all get together and show support for this last fundraising push to get the work started, I will personally dress up in an unofficial Tamarama SLSC grouper (or merman) outfit at the new launch for a photo opportunity to thank you for your generosity.

Report on 2nd Annual Wonderland Art Festival

Our 2nd Annual WONDERLAND ART FESTIVAL was held for 7 days from Monday 30th November through to Sunday 6th December, this time without the throng of people from Sculptures By The Sea. With COVID lurking in the background, this years event was not easy to organise, but we showed that WONDERLAND ART FESTIVAL is perfectly capable of running its own stand alone event as we attracted over 200 visitors into the festival every day… with a total attendance exceeding 1400 visitors.
    
    
Paula Masselos (Mayor of Waverley Council) stands by as Tim Murray (Tamarama SLSC President) presents Josephine Sukkar AM (Buildcorp CEO) with a Certificate of Appreciation as Sponsor of the 2nd Annual WONDERLAND ART FESTIVAL
