Youth Excellence Program

youth-excellence-intro

In April of 2019 we took almost 80 young lifesavers between the ages of 15-17 to lake moogerah to get them even more excited than they already are about surf lifesaving. The program aims to allow participants to meet new people, take calculated risks, self-challenge, learn leadership skills and have their voices heard.

Surf Life Saving Queensland’s vision is to provide professional and efficient emergency care training to all active patrolling members.

Since 1 November 2014 the Surf Life Saving Queensland Education (RTO 2804) has been facilitating Emergency Care Training to all club members.

Below is a list of all upcoming courses. If you would like to attend any of the courses, please contact your club to enrol. If the venue listed for the course you wish to attend is other than your own club, your enrolment will depend on whether the host club still has positions available after their own members have enrolled.
