Bush Nippers

The program is a collaboration between Life Saving Victoria (LSV), Moira Shire Council, and Barooga Aquatic and Recreation Centre (BARC). Developed by LSV in response to the Victorian Government’s emphasis on swimming and water safety in the curriculum, Bush Nippers aims to extend its reach to children residing away from the coast. The program provides a unique educational experience, fostering lifesaving and water safety skills tailored to open water environments, including rivers. Structured according to participants’ ages and abilities, the program employs a progressive approach, teaching essential water safety and lifesaving skills through enjoyable and interactive activities. 

Children aged 5 to 13 are eligible to participate in this program. Those who turn 13 in 2025 are also considered eligible for inclusion.

Juvenilia is work produced by an author or artist while they were a child. This exhibition showcases the juvenilia of Australian children’s authors and illustrators and their early attempts at storytelling. 

Everyone starts somewhere. Whether it is handwriting stories on scrap paper or drawing pictures in pencil and then rubbing them out, today’s most prominent creators of children’s books all started as children too, dreaming about being able to publish their own story. This unique and intimate collection is an insight into the early writing and drawing of some of the most established authors and illustrators in Australia.

Juvenilia will launch with author and illustrator Aimee Chan on Saturday the 9th November at 12noon.
