Killcare Surf Life Saving Club members recently completed a number of qualifications.

"Vicki Bolger, Charmine Hartel, James Ireland, Anna Krzeminska, Anthony Lawler, Scott Leivesley, Kurt Vella, Bilguun Wicks and Jillian Williams all passed their Bronze Medallion assessment," said club president Mr Craig Sheppard.

"The nipper parents have been hanging around the club for a while.

"New people turned up at the start of the season, young and old.

"It's a fantastic group of people and we can't be more enthusiastic.

"Our new Rookie Surf Rescue Certificate holders are Nathan Bradley, Scarlett Haezelwood, Archie Krix, Harley Mackinnon, Makayla Redman, Myf Ryall, Ava Thomas, Oscar Thomas, Ashley Vella, Riley Webb and Lily Woods.

"Many of this crew have been with us since Under-6's," Mr Sheppard said.

He said Lachy Franz, Dean Maddick, Mitch Maddick, Nael Malik, Robin Slater, Sam Wassel, Zac Webb and Emily Buckley had earned their Inflatable Rescue Boat Crew Certificates.

"Don Macdonald has managed to get the bronzies through despite travelling all over the state coordinating the fire response with National Parks.

"Sam Wassel and Kristy Hetherington have managed to corral a bunch of enthusiastic 13-year-olds in between 24-hour shifts at their station in Sydney to get them their certificates."

Altogether 32 members have received new qualifications.
