🎟️ MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO OUR NIPPERS CADETS! 🙌

First raffles of the season on Saturday and the crew absolutely smashed it, raising over $1,000! 💰👏

Every dollar raised through our raffles makes a real difference. Raffles help fund valuable lifesaving equipment for our club and help cover carnival entry fees for our athletes - from Nippers and Boaties through to Masters. 🛟❤️💛❤️💛

A huge thank you to our Nippers Cadets (and a slightly older dad helper 😎) for getting stuck in and making it happen!

Well done, crew! What a fantastic effort! 👏🌊

🌊🏆 CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW BRONZIES! 🏆🌊

A massive congratulations to our U16 Age Group crew who have successfully transitioned from their Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) to their Bronze Medallion! 👏🌊

What an incredible achievement — these young guns are now fully qualified surf lifesavers and ready to hit the beach and help keep our community safe! 💪🏖️

A HUGE thank you to our amazing trainers Lisa and Nathan (from Dicky Beach 😉) and Soo, who assisted as a content specialist throughout the training. And a big thank you to Clive for being our assessor. 🙌

Well done, kids! 👏👏👏 Giving up part of your school holidays to put in the hard work, learn new skills and achieve your Bronze Medallion is something to be incredibly proud of. ❤️💛❤️💛
