Bronze Medallion course
The Royal Life Saving Bronze Medallion is recognised as the minimum standard for a qualified lifesaver. This particular award has a long and proud history – it was the first lifesaving award to be created by the Royal Life Saving Society way back in 1892. Since then, many thousands of lifesavers equipped with the skills and knowledge learnt in the Bronze Medallion have been able to keep themselves or others more safe around water, perform a safe and effective aquatic rescue and even save a life.
ALAC are hosting a two day Bronze Medallion course on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 July 2023. If you are 16 years of age or above and are interested in becoming an Austswim Instructor, Lifeguard or just wish to increase your knowledge of water safety, the Bronze Medallion qualification is a great place to start.
Please note there is a swim component to the course where you will be required to swim 400m in 13 minutes - a combination of freestyle, side stroke, survival backstroke and breast stroke.
Enrolments or enquiries regarding the course can be directed to Tiffany at ALAC. The two day course cost is $198.80 (payable on enrolment). This includes registration and subsequent issue of the actual Bronze Medallion on completion and passing of the course.
The Box Show
29 July 2023 at 4.30pm
Albany Entertainment Centre, Princess Royal Theatre
In the hands of Junkyard Beats, ordinary household items are transformed into extraordinary musical instruments and unwanted junk comes alive in exciting and surprising ways!The Box Show excites the imagination of children and adults alike. We follow four characters during their daily activities in a world made of cardboard boxes and junk. The contents of an abandoned kitchen and wheelie bins become the greatest drum set in the world; plastic bags are an amazing musical instrument and the human body becomes a unique sound machine. Tag along for a day in the life of a bunch of musical misfits as they reinvigorate the junk that the world has forgotten. Learn about sustainability with this high energy, imaginative music-in-education performance combining drumming, dance, theatre and comedy. With a language of gibberish and rhythm, this show is accessible to any age and nationality.
Perfect for ages 5+
