About our Club
Our Objective
Our objective at Newport is to educate the community from adults to children, to be competent and safe in the beach and surf environment.
We have a strong focus on educating our children within the community and providing them with a range of activities. These include surf knowledge and techniques, which are introduced to the children through our Nipper Programme, run on Sunday mornings throughout the summer months. We also pride ourselves on being able to keep the general public safe by providing a beach that is patrolled through summer. To do this we rely on volunteer members to join us and become lifesavers, undertaking a range of awards and qualifications.
Nippers programme for special needs children
Another first that our Club can be proud of is the instigation of a Nipper Programme for children with Special Needs. This programme is a first for the Northern Beaches Branch, and as far as we are aware, one of the only programmes running in NSW.
This group now meets during the regular Nipper time slot, with nippers aged from 6 to early 20s participating. It is always wonderful to see new faces to help at this programme, so if you have a spare Sunday morning feel free to come and join us.
Social events
Several social events and fundraisers are held throughout the season. Please support them to the best of your ability – all proceeds go towards gear and equipment to enhance the quality of our patrols.
Board of Management
Board of Management Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month. Should you wish to attend a meeting to bring a matter to the attention of the Board, you are most welcome. To do this, please contact the Director of Administration or President to make arrangements.
