Grant goes to surf club

Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Club has been awarded a grant under the State Government's Emergency Volunteers Support Scheme to expand training and education resources.

The grant focuses on emergency management volunteers, according to Ocean Beach SLSC director of education and training Mr Richard Grimmond.

"For Ocean Beach to continue delivering the highest quality surf rescue, first aid, and other emergency response training programs to members and the community, the methods of training delivery must be in line with current best practice," Mr Grimmond said.

Mr Grimmond said that the grant would be used to upgrade technology resources including a new computer, HD video camera and a 3D digital video projector.

"This equipment will allow us to fully engage learners within our club and even provide opportunities for them to create content," Mr Grimmond said.

"For example, members could now use the video camera to capture, the computer to edit, and the projector to watch training videos that can then be placed on the club's new website."
