Local lifesavers visit Parliament House Kale Puata of North Avoca Surf Life Saving Club was among a select group of the state’s top volunteer surf lifesavers to visit Parliament House on November 12. Wearing their iconic red and yellow patrol uniforms, the lifesavers were welcomed by State MPs in honour of Surf Life Saving NSW Volunteer Recognition Day. The meeting was a celebration of the dedication and achievement of the state’s 75,000 volunteer surf lifesavers leading into summer 2020. Hosted by the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, David Elliott, the event was an opportunity for state politicians to thank Surf Life Saving volunteers personally for the work they do in protecting lives

Puata, who is joint Junior Lifesaver of the Year, was joined by Youth Lifesaver of the Year Kai Darwin of Umina Beach, Surf Lifesaver of the Year, Tony Worton, Youth Volunteer of the Year, Trae Hare-Boyd, and fellow Junior
Lifesavers of the Year, Chloe Carr. Elliott, said he was thrilled the visit allowed politicians from across the state to engage with volunteer surf lifesavers. “We’re very grateful that Surf
Life Saving NSW served us so well during last summer, particularly during the bushfires,” he said. “This coming summer our volunteer surf lifesavers will be even more important because we know that most of the
domestic tourism destinations are going to be full. “Australians will be making up for the COVID winter lockdown and really taking advantage of the summer break.” An inflatable rescue boat (IRB) was installed in the level nine courtyard of NSW Parliament House to highlight the role this pivotal piece of lifesaving equipment has played in saving lives on Australian beaches over the past 50 years. Surf Life Saving NSW CEO, Steven Pearce, said the annual visit was a great opportunity for our surf lifesavers to meet with our political leaders. Source: Media release, Nov 16 Surf Life Saving NSW
Mariners finalise Football Department for 2020/21 The Central Coast Mariners have locked in their Football structure for the upcoming season with the appointment of Ken Schembri as Head of Football and Peter Zois as A-League Goalkeeping Coach. Zois has begun to work with
the team this week after completion of a mandatory quarantine period having relocated from Victoria. Following his playing career in Australia and abroad, Zois has worked with Melbourne Victory, Melbourne City and a number of NPL Victoria teams. Pre-season training is well
underway for the Mariners, and the club says details about preseason matches accessible to members and fans will be released when appropriate. Schembri will lead all Football departments including NPL Men’s, Women’s, SAP and A-League and will work closely with Head Coach Alen
Stajcic and his staff. Schembri’s appointment marks the first occasion that the Club has had a locally based Sporting Director/Head of Football, and Mariners CEO Shaun Mielekamp stressed the importance of that aspect. “The fact that we are able to promote someone from within
the club into the Head of Football role says a lot about the growth within our Club and the direction that we are heading,” Mielekamp said. “Ken has done an outstanding job in his role as Academy Director, starting from scratch in building a successful, competitive youth development program [and] it continues the
trend of the Club putting faith in our own.” “It is great to welcome Peter aboard too, and now that he has completed his quarantine period, he can get to work with the team ahead of the December 27 start date.” Media release, 17 Nov Central Coast Mariners
