Muddy Hands Festival

Muddy Hands Festival is returning these school holidays. Say goodbye to clean clothes and hello to a day of messy, outdoor, nature play fun. There'll be wash stations (yes, you'll need them!), food trucks, a calming space for sensory breaks, and plenty of activities away from the mud action for those not so keen on getting grubby.

 

The best part? The City of Tea Tree Gully is bringing this event to you FREE! No tickets needed, just roll on up (we suggest with towels and a change of clothes!). 

 

When: Friday 4 October, 10am to 3pm

Where: Golden Fields Reserve, Golden Grove

 

Our waterproof onesies will be available to purchase on the day.

Come and Try Nippers

Semaphore Surf Life Saving Club runs a Junior Surf Life Saving program from October to March every year, for the first six weeks we have a Come and Try Program so that children can try Surf Life Saving as a sport to help them to decide if they would like to continue and join as members.  We have a great program for Nippers from 5 years old to 12 Years old and are always looking for more families to join.  

 

We consider ourselves to be a Family Club and our junior program is for everyone regardless of experience or ability.

We have many locations around South Australia and would love to get the word out there to the local communities.

 

I was hoping it would be possible to share this flyer on your social media platforms and in your newsletter from now until the end of the school year.

 

We appreciate your help in spreading the word.

 

Now is the time to get those last-minute enrolments in!

Online enrolments will be closing soon, and we don't want you to miss out on booking your children in for Holiday Swim!

The main aims of the program are 

  • Teach children critical life-saving skills
  • Teach basic swimming skills
  • Equip kids with the knowledge to stay safe in, on and around the water.

 

The program is AFFORDABLE so that it remains ACCESSIBLE to families and communities that might otherwise miss out on the opportunity to participate in swimming lessons.

Royal Life Saving also offers pathways into the aquatic industry with their ICONIC Bronze Awards.  The Bronze Star, Bronze Medallion, Bronze Cross, Award of Merit and Distinction levels are designed for those wanting to further their knowledge and skill set, before moving into the aquatic industry as Lifeguards and Swim Teachers within their local communities.

The program is returning in December 2024 and January 2025 with the Royal Life Saving Swim and Survive program.
