RLSS Beach Lifeguard Exam

Well done to Alex, Sean, Will, Miss Starling and Mr Mayerle who all passed their RLSS Beach Lifeguard assessment this afternoon after the last few weeks of training.

There are no pictures today as Mr Starks also had to get in the water to requalify for the 8th time and was too busy swimming to take a camera.
