From the President
Moana is a safe surf club and provides an environment that is safe for all family members to
participate in club activities at all times. We need your help to make this happen. It is
everyone’s right to feel safe, so please read the following message from the Child safe
committee so we can ensure we are up to date. Moana SLSC has made a commitment to a
child safe environment, and you can read all of the information on our website here.
http://moanaslsc.com.au/child-and-youth-protection/
All volunteers need to have a current WWCC. This can be initiated by SLSA. You can use an
existing one from a workplace if its current. Send an email with a copy of this, or to ask for a
check to be initiated to juniors@moanaslsc.com.au This is done free of charge by SLSA. If
you have any questions about this process or would like to chat, please don’t hesitate to
make contact with myself, our junior secretary or one of our child safe officers. All of our
board members and members in prescribed positions are all compliant with this new
regulation and are happy to chat with you at any time.
I look forward to seeing you all around the club this season. We are always happy to hear
from you.
Angie Farrier
President Moana SLSC.

Page 8 of 15Mini Moes
Mini Moes is a modified Surf Life Saving Program for children aged 5 and 6 years
old.
The aim of Mini Mo’s is to introduce young
children to Surf Life Saving through games and
fun activities.
Mini Mo’s runs for 1 hour to cater for the
shorter attention span of the children.
Games and activities are conducted on the
sand or in shallow water only.
To ensure safety and enjoyment it is a
requirement that each child is accompanied by
a parent or caregiver at all times. It is necessary
for parents to be involved with the activities
and to help the Age group managers as
needed.
Nippers U8’s to U13’s
The aim of nippers is to introduce children to the skills and knowledge needed to
become a Surf Life Saver. The nipper training incorporates the Surf Life Saving Australia
Junior Development Program. Topics include; surf awareness, surf skills, first aid and
resuscitation.
The skills and knowledge increase progressively through the age groups and this is
recognised with the appropriate Surf Certificate at the end of the season.
Nippers must be able to swim in order to participate in water activities. Nippers is not a
‘learn to swim’ program and you are strongly encouraged to enrol your child into a
‘learn to swim’ program. Moana offers a pool swimming session on Thursday evenings
at State Swim Seaford for children who can swim but want to increase their confidence
and endurance.
Proficiencies
Prior to commencing water activities nippers are required to satisfy certain proficiencies to
ensure their safety and enjoyment. Demonstration of proficiencies can be performed on
Thursday evenings at State Swim Seaford between 6pm and 7pm. State Swim offer 10%
discount to Moana SLSC members. The ocean timed swim is conducted during nipper
training.
