Our Mission We exist to provide surf lifesaving patrol services to Secret Harbour Beach, and to other swimming beaches within the City of Rockingham as determined by the availability of resources and qualified members. To achieve this mission we must: • Maintain high standards of education and vigilance. • Continue our proud record of no lives lost during surf lifesaving patrols. • Be highly regarded by the local community as a volunteer service provider. • Foster and promote the ideals of healthy lifestyle to our members and the local community. Rob Bates. Did You Know Did You K And what about ou Did You Know... While we have been around over one hundred years as a movement, that is wasn’t until 1939 Surf Life Saving decided that all patrolling members should wear red and yellow quartered caps. And what about our Flags... The red and yellow colours found their way into surf life saving clubs from the international code of naval signals, in which the sign for ‘man overboard’ is a square divided diagonally between red and yellow. Flags and signs have always been used to signify either safe or dangerous areas to swim, but it wasn’t until the 1930’s that the red and yellow colours came to represent Surf Life Saving in Australia. In 1935, red and yellow replaced the blue and white flags which had been used in the 1920’s to mark safe bathing areas. Jesika Bussey. Joe Ford.

It was discovered 30th Patrolling season this year and we look forward to the after reconciliation of the financials the club was in the next 30 years with the same dedication and commitment from our members. 4 5 Presidents Report The season of 2012/2013 has been a year of consolidation and consideration of the way forward. The club has increased membership to some 820 members and this puts more pressure on our infrastructure and resources, I can say though that the membership has taken this in their stride and I see many new faces helping out and assisting where they can. The efforts and commitment of all members is definitely seen and appreciated. My role as president allows me to promote Secret Harbour (SH) in the Surf Life Saving Community and this year has been no exception. The year commenced with the launch of the season at Trigg Island SLSC where I discussed our club with other club presidents and the politicians invited. It was also an opportunity to look at the recent refurbishment and additions made to the Trigg Island club. Continuing on the theme of club redevelopments I was fortunate to attend with Building Upgrade Committee (BUC) a tour of the recently completed Fremantle SLSC and the under construction Coogee SLSC. This certainly gave us all food for thought with regards to our own proposed redevelopment as the two are poles apart in features but both functional. I was also fortunate to be invited to the recent opening of the Mandurah SLSC and I would recommend if you have the opportunity to visit it is a very functional building for a club of their size. The 30 year celebration at SHSLSC in March 2013 to me was a highlight as this really put into perspective where our club has come from and acknowledged the work of past Presidents and committees in establishing our club to its present position. The presentations certainly highlighted the struggle to establish the club in its infancy and the work done when the club was financially strained and close to closure. All of the past Presidents and Committees need to be acknowledged and from the current Board of Management we appreciate and thank them for their hard work and diligence. 6 other clubs and SLSWA. The common theme was their recognition of our efforts and willingness to work with us in further improvement and knowledge sharing not only for our benefit but theirs also. The BOM have worked tirelessly this year and provided support to each other and myself. As with all management groups we have our opinions and differences but unwaveringly the interests of the club are at the forefront. Their efforts have set the benchmark for future Boards and the structures and procedures instigated during the period have provided stability that will set the club towards a sound structural and financial future. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Garry Williams on his appointment on the SLSWA board. In addition to this we have members participating on SLSWA committees Digby Wilson, Carolyn Wilson and Rick Lowe. Their involvement will certainly further enhance SHSLSC profile in the surf lifesaving community. Also finally to the members of Secret Harbour Surf Life Saving Club I sincerely thank you for your support and positive comments over the year. This club only exists for the members and I am proud to say that where we are now has been due the efforts of you all and I know the continued efforts, contribution and enthusiasm will carry the club into the future. Attendance at the SLSWA Awards of Excellence certainly proved to myself we are on the right track not only with Thank You the awards both for SH, the club and the acknowledged individual members but also for the feedback from Stephen Bridges President Vice Presidents Report It is again with great pleasure I pen this report and thanks to the club members in my third season as Vice President of our great club. What a year We now have 800 plus members; the highest ever for the club with approximately half of those being juniors. We have achieved record membership levels and this is now providing the Board with a few challenges. We are looking to engage more members in operational roles to improve our services to members and the community and the results from a club wide survey run at the end of the 2012/13 summer season confirm we are on the right track with this strategy. We are extremely pleased to hold a strong financial position and the club credits this to our sound financial management and our grant application strategy to name two. As we move forward it is our financial planning that will contribute to the attainment of our future needs. We were awarded the SLSWA Patrolling club of the year for the third year running and came third in the Laedral Club of the year also for the third year running. The club was also pleased to have individual finalists in several categories at this year’s SLSWA Awards of Excellence. We have raised the profile of the club within the Rockingham community. Our efforts at Penguin Island are worthy of mention and our activity is being recognised at the Local and State Government level. I take this opportunity to thank my direct reports from the Board of Management who have contributed significantly and achieved outstanding results. This is a hard working dedicated group of people. Additionally we were pleased to welcome on board and thank Nick Le Plastrier for taking on the role of Project Manager- Assets. As the club develops we need input from the members to make the club the best it can be. With the New Building on the horizon this gives us a great opportunity to further develop on what the club has achieved to date. With this in mind we have set up several different committees and I encourage the members to join one or more and have an influence on the development, direction and future growth of our wonderful club. I have deliberately kept my report short this year but am more than happy to discuss any aspects of the club and its activities with members as needed. As we move forward and if the members choose I look forward to another year as Vice President and am ready to strap myself in for the ride that will be Secret Harbour Surf Life Saving Club 2012 -2013. Digby Wilson Vice President 7 Club Captain’s Report Well it’s been another sensational Season for Secrets with us continuing to provide a highly professional lifesaving service to the Rockingham Community. Over the years the Club has been responsible for over 1050 rescues, 1556 first aid cases and 9770 preventative actions. Our service to the community has again been praised by the City and we have again been recognised as the WA Patrol Club of the year for the third year in a row. An outstanding effort by you all. Many of you probably don’t realise but the service you all provide is worth in dollar terms about half a million dollars to the community. This is not surprising when you consider the number of hours you provide not only in patrolling our beaches, but also in training and water safety. I would also recognise it’s been a big year for our 8 patrol teams with us being rostered for 7 patrols over the season due to Easter (55 days – Patrol 8 dipped in only being rostered for 6). It’s hoped with a possible move to 10 patrol teams over the 54 patrol days for the season 13/14 (not including Easter, with Christmas Day being a voluntary day) that most of us will be rostered for 5 patrols. If achieved, this is seen as a great step forward and is a testament to our growth, and your commitment and hard work. There’s been a lot happening behind the scenes with us working closely with the City of Rockingham in developing its Community Risk Program and in reviewing the Cities beach closure procedures. As a result of this work, Surf Lifesaving is recognised as a ‘combat’ agency in the Cities Risk Assessment that renders assistance to the City in times of Storms, Tsunami and sea searches just to name a few examples. We have developed a number of our youth as Patrol Vice Captains including Alethea Spiers, Danica Bates, Daniel Andrew, Alannah Wilson, and Sarah Anderson and I’m sure the lifesaving Committee will be considering some of these members as prospective Patrol Captains in the coming seasons under the mentorship of our senior members. We have again provided a service at Mercy Point with Peel Support Operations carrying the majority of the 8 load, with members spending some 405 hours at the sandbar. This season only 36 rescues were conducted but a massive 2100 preventatives were carried out with over 60 000 people coming into contact with either a lifesaver or lifeguard during this season. Rescues were down from over 200. This is a significant achievement and considered a direct result of the Education Program put in place by the Club. I’d like to specifically thank not only the Peel Support Operations Team for their commitment but also the following members for their assistance: Alannah Wilson, Daniel Andrew, Megan Williams, Sharee Hart, Chloe Hart, Liam Bates and Jamie Thomas. The Club Penguin Island Education Program was supported by BHP Billiton Kwinana has been nominated for National Recognition for the SLSA Awards of Excellence to be held in October and also for the WA Healthier Community Awards which is due to be announced in July, with $10000 to be awarded to the winner. The Clubs commitment in kind to this program is estimated to be worth some $72000 to the community. Additionally the Club through the engagement of Peel Support Operations has provided early morning patrols (0630-0900) at Penguin Island in support of the Abalone Season. Again this service has gained high praise from Council, via the Local Emergency Management Committee (LEMC), Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC), Fisheries and SLSWA. Our lifesaving equipment is in the best condition it has been in for a number of years with us acquiring our Can Am ATV at the end of last season as a direct result of our commitment to Penguin Island, the arrival of our new IRB (thanks to QR National), we’ve just purchased 4 new rescue boards, the SLSWA Board has provided us with a new Defib (we now have 4), we received 2 Club Captain’s Report cont’d new radios at the end of last season via a Telstra Grant (we now have 8 not including the Support Ops Radios which makes 10), replaced our IRB fuel Bladders and this season we will receive a new IRB and motor from State Government Funding and in season 2014/15 will receive a new Can Am ATV. We will also be purchasing another Tohatsu Outboard Motor to replace our aging Yamahas thanks to sponsorship from International Power GDF-Suez in Kwinana who have provided us $6000 specifically for the purchase of a motor. Of course we have received a brand new Colorado 4 x 4 from Rockingham Holden, which is pivotal to supporting the lifesaving service that we provide. So if you are in the market for a new or used car – call in and mention you’re from the Surf Club. Rick and I have been doing a lot of planning for season 13/14 specifically with consideration to increasing our number of patrol teams; patrol makeup, patrol times and keeping a close watch on what is happening at Mercy Point post the release of the Coroner’s report. We’ll be looking for your input over the next months, so we can be ready for the coming season. The Coroner has given us high praise in the service we have provided to the community and has recommended DEC engage SLSWA and the Club on not only how a service might be provided in the future but also on facilities, Education of DEC staff, and signage. Those that utilised the IPAD well done – you have captured a pictorial history of our patrols over the year and I’m sure you will recognise some of your handy work through this report. Also thank you to those that posted comments on Facebook while on patrol using the IPAD – it was great to see you promoting patrols – real time. It is hoped we can expand the utilisation of the IPAD with the recording of incidents and wireless printing over the next season. It’s unbelievable how much the club has grown in such a short time and this year I was overwhelmed on the first day of nippers when the kids poured over the sand hill down to the beach – it was like an endless stream. On that day we had over 1500 people on the beach and what a spectacle it was. I take my hat off to Alexis and her band of Age Managers, water safety and parent helpers that make our nippers program what it is. And who would have thought Secret Harbour would have 2 National medallists and a World medallists this year – Well done Rob Bates, Jessica Bussey (National Record) and Joe Ford (World Medallist – Go Yak). As many of you would be aware, I was appointed to the SLSWA Board of Management in April and unfortunately will not be nominating as Club Captain due to possible conflict of interest. It’s been an honour and a fantastic experience being on your board for the past 4 seasons. The club has come a long way since I first joined the club in 2005 with only around 300 members, to where we are now with over 800. With our growth, it’s been pleasing to see that member involvement has increased allowing us as a club to do much more than we have ever been able to achieve. Your responses to our recent Club Survey were inspiring and have given the current BoM a great insight into what you our members want and I’m sure that information will be highly valued by the incoming BoM Keep up the great work, our best years as a club are ahead of us. See you on the beach Garry Williams CLUB CAPTAIN 9 Life Saving Report What a great surf season once again at Secret Harbour, the efforts from our members in patrolling and keeping our beaches safe is a credit to all. The 2012-13 has once again seen a significant number of visitors to Secret Harbour beach during our agreed days of patrol and a significant number of hours patrolled by our members. Attendances at Secret Harbour Beach have had a slight drop off this year to over 65000 from its peak in 2011-12 to almost 74000. Over the past 3 years visitors to the area has remained consistently over 65000 people. Once again the club has maintained its record of no drowning’s between our flags. Along with our increased visitors also comes the continual need to educate the public, something our patrols continue to do very well. This is indicated in the number of preventatives where our members have continually been proactive in guiding and talking to the public. Our recorded rescues are down from last year, which again is testimony to the diligence of our patrols and professionalism of our members. The decrease in rescues and preventatives can also be attributed to the favorable conditions seen at our beach over the past summer; it is also a good indication on how much of an influence our 10 regular patrols have been in the education of the general public. Although overall attendance has dropped slightly over the last season there has been a significant increase in swimmers (up by over 5000). We are very proud of the vigilance and professionalism of our volunteers. Fortunately this season conditions were favorable but there were some days that provided some challenges for our patrols and there were a number of suspected spinals during the season with five of them classified as serious, and out of those five there were 3 that resulted in damage to the spine. All spinal incidents were dealt with appropriately and it was commented on each occasion by the professionals at the hospital, how SHSLSC had done an outstanding job in dealing with all the injuries. And due to the prompt action of our members the outcomes for the injured people are looking good into the future, a credit to all our members involved. Our overall patrol hours recorded this year have continued to increase, up by more than approx 400hrs over last year to 5780hrs. This is significant amount of hours for our club and a statistic all our members can be extremely proud of. Throughout the season we were again able to sustain an average patrol of 12 rostered members and provided multiple roving patrols. We provided greater surveillance through the use of the IRBs and sustained patrols at the Penguin Total Rescues Total Attendance 250 200 75,000 150 70,000 100 65,000 50 60,000 2012 2011 2012 2010 2011 2010 Total Preventatives 3,000 2,000 1,000 2012 Island Sandbar with the assistance of the Peel Support Operations Group. Patrols by Peel Support Operations Members along Rockingham Beaches and Penguin Island represent another 405hrs for the year. Our consistent numbers also allowed for us to extend our patrols well into the afternoons on occasions during the hotter months. Our rostered patrols also ensured we had a greater spread of qualifications on the beach at all times. There has been some people who deserve a special thanks and this includes all the patrol captains and vice captains this season who have provided guidance and oversight to their patrols, thanks VC’s: Stephen Bridges, Alethea Spiers, Daniel Andrew, Sarah Anderson, Danica Bates, Dave Howarth, Ian Phillips and Mark Dove and the PC’s: Peter Traeger, Carolyn Wilson, Rick Lowe, Sharee Hart, Megan Williams, Paul Bird, Dave Vaughan and Grant Stirling Also thanks to the trainers and assessors who have kept our members current and assisted them in gaining new qualifications throughout the season. The Peel Support Operations also deserve special thanks 2011 2010 for their efforts in not only supporting our beach when conditions required it but for the ongoing efforts in supporting Penguin Island. And to the Tonkins, Matt and Jess who have each patrolled over a 150 hours each in season 12/13 a significant effort, well done. The season could not have been a success without its patrolling members and I thank each and every one of you young, old, new or seasoned. I certainly understand the pressures of modern society and we are all volunteers giving up our precious time to help others and keep the public safe, your efforts do not go unnoticed. We are held in the highest regard by SLSWA, Local and State government and have been winners of the patrol club of the year 3 years consecutively. You are a credit to yourselves, your club and the community thanks you for your support now and into the future. Richard Lowe Director of Lifesaving 11 We had another record year for club membership, with a total of 816 members for the 2012/13/season. The financial results were not as strong as recent years, with reduced income from functions, grants and sponsorship combined with an increase in costs as the size of the club grows. The year ended with a profit of $15,332 and $249,058 in the bank. Our balance sheet however remains strong and we are well placed for the future. There were two main events which impacted the financial results, Revenue was reduced by $10 000 correcting an over claim of grants from Rockingham Council and costs were increased by an additional $9 000 depreciation on changeover to a new utility vehicle generously provided by Rockingham Holden. The audit has concluded on target and has allowed the financial reports to be provided in time for the AGM on the 28th July. We are constantly looking at ways to improve our systems and thanks to a grant we are able to implement a new version of our financial accounting software that will enable better access and faster reporting. The administration of the club is ever increasing. We are very lucky to have a team of volunteers, without whom the club would not be able to run as smoothly as it does. They are Caroline Bates, Barb Sarich, Greg Stroot, Jo Thodis, Kristen Booth, Sarah Lowe, Megan Anderson, Karen Bridges and Sharon Phillips. Sharon was recognised for her efforts this year, with her nomination and final shortlisting for SLSWA Club Administrator of the year. This recognised her outstanding efforts and the additional volunteer hours she has invested in the running of the club. I also wish to thank Kim Wade for her services to the club as the previous Director of Finance and Admin. As the club continues to grow we need more members to take an active part in shaping the clubs future by contributing their time and experience. There are a number of roles and committee positions available. You will be donating to an organisation of dedicated volunteers who provide a unique service to our community.

The financial statements are therefore special purpose financial statements that have been prepared in order to meet the financial reporting requirements of the members. The financial report covers Secret Harbour Surf Life Saving Club Inc. as an individual entity. Secret Harbour Surf Life Saving Club Inc. is an association incorporated in Western Australia under the Associations Incorporation Act 1987. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Association in the preparation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs. The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. Accounting Policies (a) Income Tax The Association has obtained tax-exempt status under current Australian Taxation legislation. (b) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined by the purchase price of the inventories. (c) Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (if any). Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by the committee to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to present values in determining recoverable amounts. Depreciation The depreciable amount of motor vehicles is depreciated on a reducing balance basis. The depreciable amount of other assets is depreciated on a straight line basis. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: Class of Fixed Asset First aid room equipment Merchandise and Office equipment Depreciation Rate 10% to 20% 100% Rescue, Training and Comp equipment 10% to 100% Social hall, bar and canteen 10% to 100% Motor vehicles 25% 19 The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each balance date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the income statement. (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in banks. (e) Revenue Revenue from donations and Interest revenue are recognised upon receipt of the funds. Grants received for recurrent expenditures and member’s subscriptions are recorded as income in the year in which they are earned. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). (f) Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

These future funds were established for the sole purpose of replacing such capital equipments as surf boats, inflatable rescue craft and beach vehicles. The funds placed in these accounts are for the future, however can still be directed at BoM discretion for the running of the club and for more pressing commitments. They are not to be seen as exclusive use for that section, and therefore the use of the funds must be budgeted.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the committee, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Independence In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements. Auditor’s Opinion In our opinion, the financial report presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Secret Harbour Surf Life Saving Club Inc. as of 30 April 2013 and its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 1 of the financial report.

Until 07/13 08/13 - 11/13 12/13 - 03/14 04/14 - 04/16 05/16 Concept design finalisation Detail design & documentation Tender process & award of construction contract Staged construction program Project completion It should be noted as each stage of construction reaches completion those completed areas of the new clubhouse will be made available for use by the Club during the remainder of the construction period. This program is approximately six months longer than was predicted in the Feasibility Study prepared by Creating Communities in October 2010. Most of the additional time can be attributed to the demolition of the commercial buildings adjacent the existing clubhouse and the opportunity this has presented to the project. The impact of this will have been clarified by the time of the Annual General Meeting when a further report will be provided. Project Management There are three levels of project management now in place. Project Reference Group This is a City of Rockingham subcommittee where the Club is represented by Max Hannah, Ron Wade and Digby Wilson, along with personnel from the City, the Secret Harbour Residents’ Association, Surf Beach Board Riders and the Architect. Chairman of the PRG is Cr Chris Elliott. Building Upgrade Committee This is the Club’s ad hoc committee that has been in place since the Annual General Meeting in 2007. Original elected members of the BUC are Billy Bevan and Max Hannah. Ross Onions was then appointed by the Board in 2008, Ron Wade and Digby Wilson were then appointed by the Board in 2012. Technical Reference Group This group has been in place for most of the project period. Its role has been to consider and advise on technical and construction matters pertinent to the project, particularly during the period when the Feasibility Study and Business Plan were being researched by Creating Communities. Membership of the TRG has varied over the years depending upon availability of personnel and the particular matters under consideration. The role of Chairman of the TRG was initially filled by Billy Bevan until the Board appointed Ron Wade in 2012. The TRG has now formed eight subcommittees (see below) to assist in detailed planning and transition process into the new clubhouse facility. Formation of these subcommittees is underway and their work will begin as soon as revised concept designs become available from the Architect. Member Participation in the Project Members willing to participate and contribute to the project can now do so by joining one of the subcommittees listed below. The subcommittees will be chaired by a BUC member to streamline communication. Board members will be invited to join subcommittees relevant to their portfolio on an ex officio basis. The eight subcommittees and membership (to date) are: • Administration/Merchandising Digby Wilson (Chair) Robyn Bevan, Frances Meadley, Sharon Phillips • Life Saving/Patrols/First Aid Ross Onions (Chair) Rick Lowe, Garry Williams, Steve Ford • Gear Storage Ross Onions (Chair) Steve Ford • Education/Training Billy Bevan (Chair) No Nominations yet 27 Building Upgrade Committee Report cont’d • Junior/Cadet Ron Wade (Chair) No Nominations yet • In-house/Social/Change Room/Special Needs Ron Wade (Chair) Deb Bird, Jo Thodis Kiosk/Gymnasium/MPCUF* Billy Bevan (Chair) Joanne Thodis, Aaron Ransom External Areas/Beach Access Track Max Hannah (Chair) Sharee Hart * Multi-purpose Community Use Facility Members willing to become involved in any of the subcommittees above should contact Sharon Phillips in administration. Additional Items for Attention Apart from the TRG subcommittees outlined above, work still remains for the club in a variety of areas: 28 Supplementary Funding Discussion at recent PRG meetings has included reference to the budget set by the City of Rockingham for the project. As always, the budget will be tight and concessions will need to be made, particularly since the BUC has determined that maximisation of the clubhouse dimensional area is to be the major consideration in all deliberations. Therefore, any additional funding that can be added to the budget will be a major advantage to the project. Notes and suggestions on this topic contained in the 2011/12 Annual Report are still very relevant to the overall success of the project. Governance Model Governance is the way we structure and manage club activities, vision, mission and goals. The Feasibility Study and Business Plan developed by Creating Communities in 2010 suggested the club may elect to modify the current governance structure to manage the new facility. The plan developed by Creating Communities made reference to some commercial operations that may assist the club with a level of financial independence in the future. In addition to the models in the Business Plan the club has sought and will continue to seek advice on this issue from different sources including corporate governance consultants, City of Rockingham, other clubs including North Cottesloe, Bunbury, Scarborough and more recently during the Aussies and the SLSA Masterclass leadership program, some of the super clubs (we are allowed to dream) including Kurrawa and Northcliff. different from what we have known in the past and at present. The existing strategic plan was approved by members in general meeting in 2005 when membership was about half of today’s and work on the Building Upgrade Project was referred to as : A Memorandum of Understanding between the club and the City of Rockingham regarding facility operation and management is being developed through the Project Reference Group. Clearly, the above point in time has well and truly arrived and we can now look forward to participating in the formulation of a revised strategic plan to guide the club for the next five to ten years. A Project Manager – Assets (club volunteer position) has been appointed by the Board In conclusion, we congratulate those who have contributed to this project to date and to its ultimate success. Appreciation is also extended to the many City of Rockingham personnel who have had belief from the beginning and provided essential expertise and input. The club has secured funding to run a governance workshop for Board Members season 2013-14. Subject to space allocation the workshop will be made available to committee members and office bearers within the club Strategic Plan There is no doubt life in the new clubhouse will be vastly “Initiate and establish strategies for the funding of a project to refurbish and extend the clubhouse facility.” Max Hannah Chairman Building Upgrade Committee 29 Sponsorship and PR Report Last year as I stepped down from my role as Surf Sports Director after 4 seasons in the role, it was with great sadness yet excitement. After some trepidation I took on the vacant PR & Sponsorship portfolio. I was reassured to know Rob Bates would continue with his Grant’s officer position. Rob has been instrumental in raising many funds for the club particularly in securing funding through grants. Such as: QR National (now Aurizon) for a new IRB & motor.

If anyone has any great fundraising ideas or sponsorship possibilities and would like to assist I am all ears. See You on the Beach Carolyn Wilson Director of Sponsorship and PR 31 Training & Education It has been another busy year in the education front for Secret Harbour with a change of Directors of Education half way through the season. Peter Traeger stepped aside due to work commitments and the reigns where handed over to me, Garry Hart. Being only a new member to the club, I had a lot to learn, but I have been lucky to have the support of the training team to help me get my feet on the ground. We have been quite blessed on one hand and not so in the other during the Surf Year of 2012/13. SLSWA have made insurmountable changes to the training requirements. They have made the trainers and assessor qualifications easier to obtain within surf. The following people volunteered their time to train and assess our members, and as a club we really appreciate their time and expertise, with the following people obtaining their trainers or assessors qualifications:New Trainers • Danica Bates • Chloe Howarth • Daniel Andrew • Aleathea Spiers • Sara Anderson • Mark Thomas • Corey May • Alexis Grayson New Assessors • Rick Lowe • Caroline Wilson • Megan Williams • Paul Bird This year the team trained some 146 awards and requalified another 294 awards. This represents a significant commitment by our collaborative team of Trainers and Assessors who consist of Garry Williams, Digby Wilson, Paul Bird, Ian Phillips, Mark Dove, Rick Lowe, Carolyn Wilson, Megan Williams and Sharee Hart. The success of these awards could not have been achieved without your dedication. The Adults SRC course coupled with the junior course saw 64 new qualified Surf Rescue Certificates on Secret Harbour Beach. This and other opportunities are certainly testament to the continuous training and assistance all volunteers give to train up and coming new lifesavers wearing Red and Yellow serving our community on Secret Harbour Beach; how proud we are!! SRC’s on our beaches 32 is imperative as we continue to develop and grow as a Club, both educationally and strategically. SRC’s all had a wonderful time in learning many new skills in first aid, CPR, Board and tube rescues, while experiencing other facets of ‘life on the beach’. The older and more knowledgeable Cadets were able to step up and assisted with training. Within the community there are various ongoing commitments our trainers and assessors continue from season to season. Maranatha Christian College - This season we continued our partnership with Maranatha Christian College, now South Coast Baptist College through the support of Corey May and will be further developing this fantastic program with some 32 SRC’s graduated in 2012. They are also about to embark on completing their Recreational Skippers Ticket (RST) within the next few weeks. Bethanie Waters Lifestyle Village - We have also continued to develop a commercial partnership with Bethanie Waters Lifestyle Village to provide ongoing CPR training to residents thanks to Megan William’s commitment. I assisted Megan in this program and what a remarkable, enlightening, fulfilling experience and a great way to get our Brand out in the community. Local Football Associations - Digby Wilson is also putting our brand into the community with the training of local football coaches in CPR and first aid. If you know some organisation in the community that would be interested please bring it to our attention. The ongoing support of the clubs training and education team ensures the quality and delivery of our programs are excellent. The up skilling of our members in awards is one of the keys to putting our highly professional patrols on Rockingham Beaches and to provide a safe environment for all to enjoy our great Australian outdoor lifestyle that draws us to the beach. With everybody’s assistance during training and during patrols we, as a club have formed a solid educational framework for all to save lives and build better communities. I look forward to the upcoming season. Garry Hart Director of Education and Training 33 House and Social Report Numerous people came on board for house and social this year. Firstly, a huge thankyou to Jo Thodis for her dedication in coordinating the Sunday morning nipper BBQs. Although the Sunday BBQ is not usually run by the social area of the club, Jo went about organising every Sunday’s crew to ensure one of our biggest fundraisers of the year was continued. Her huge brigade of helpers has done an outstanding job once again. Thank you. This year saw new and old traditions come together. We bought back the members draw on Friday night, later changing to Sunday afternoons to help promote and entice all our nipper parents into our wonderful club. Another night saw us donning our best outfits and heading to our very own casino for the night; Yep Burswood came to us. Well not really. Black Jack Knights did and it was fantastic. Well done to Tracey Poad for her efforts in arranging everything involved for the night, and I am sure I speak for all who attended it was loads of fun. This season saw our club turn 30. Thirty years of community spirit and service has come upon us. We celebrated with a big party at the surf club and yummy catering from Prestige. Once again New Year’s Eve saw the annual golf day come and go and the wearing of some much to be desired costumes. Everyone had an awesome time and as usual there is a need to for some hidden photos to be found around the club. Hee hee. Presentation night in May marked the end of another huge season for our team. With thanks to all the girls for their efforts cleaning, decorating and of course making the night another huge success. Many thanks go to Maysala Curry in Rockingham City for their yummy food and our great bar person Sammy Bridges for again volunteering her time to look after all who attended. Many thanks goes to the many people in this club and to those who run the BBQ, cleaning, bar and all other aspects of the House & Social team keeping this club running. We are a team and it has been this team effort which has and will continue to see us grow ever stronger. Many opportunities lie within us all to put just a little effort 34 in each season, to make our club, your club, bigger, better and safer. As we grow so do our needs. And our needs depend on all parents to help us through the year. On that note, it has been a great 3 years for me as Director of House and Social, but the time has come to move on to other things. There is a great committee of people to take charge of the fun stuff in our club so please do not hesitate to become a part of it. Ingrid Ostle Director of House and Social Youth Development Season 2012/13 was my first season as the Youth Director and apart from trying to keep up with everything going on and making sure things ran as smoothly as possible, I must say I had a great time. It is always wonderful to see a beach crowded with kids and their families having a go and smiling as they learn or achieve a skill in the surf or on the beach. Our nipper numbers are increasing each year giving the club a wonderful depth of abilities as seen in our carnival participation teams and the results we had. This year we started for the very first time a mixed age Junior March Past team who only got together and began training half way through the season and they performed amazingly by obtaining a Bronze medal at the Junior State Championships. Thanks so much to Robyn Bevan for training them and to the kids for working so hard. This season we had 8 of our Nippers/Cadets receive the honour of attending TOAD and Rise-Up camps, which are run by Surf Lifesaving WA. They were calling for nominations for 2 Nippers/Cadets from each club and we managed to have 5 and 3 respectively gain a berth so well done to those who attended I believe they had a great time learning and excelling at various activities while away. Another first this season was the U14 Surf Rescue Certificate Camp held at Pt Peron. What a great weekend even if the storms did come through and hamper our water work. The kids bonded, played some interesting forms of basketball and rugby, ate large amounts of food, ran obstacle courses and finally crashed into bed. One of the best weekends ever! They all now patrol our beach and do a sterling job of it. A huge thank you must go out to all the Age Managers who had to cope with much larger groups of nippers this season. They always do such a great job and make the whole experience one of fun and inclusion for all the kids. A wonderful group of people I hope will be back again for more next season. The other people who need mention here are all the parents who helped with water safety, the BBQ and beach set up/pack up, the more we have the easier the work so again thank you. Junior club captains this season were Danica Bates and Daniel Andrew, both of whom were also Age Managers and competitors so well done and thank you for your support and help. The festivities at the End of Season break up were so much fun especially when one of the piglets from the Animal Nursery got away and was chased down by some 50 plus children, so funny to watch. We tried something a bit different this year so as to make the club our hub for the break up and I think the day went rather well with lots of smiley faces all round, again thanks a million to all those who helped me pull that together as we had over 300 nippers and siblings attend . A final thank you must go out to the fabulous people who sponsor the Youth Program; BHP Billiton Nickel West who without their financial support we would struggle to buy equipment such as the foam nipper boards that are available for the Nippers to use and practice on. We appreciate your assistance and hope we can be partners into the future. Thanks to all involved this season and see you on the beach. Alexis Grayson Youth Director 35 Surf Sports Report Secret Harbour Surf Life Saving Club has yet again come to the end of another busy season, and is already in the process of planning the next season. Clubs do not survive without the people who volunteer and dedicate their time and various skills, to promote their club. The club benefits from these skills immensely and provides members with new and exciting opportunities to constantly learn new skills and push themselves to take on new tasks with guidance and encouragement, albeit as a competitor, an official, a manager or coach. This season has seen us competing at club level, premiership and boat series’, IRB competitions, metro and country carnivals, state, national and international championships. Secret Harbour Gold This is an annual club event and was again a fun filled event for the club and kindly sponsored again by Frogmat Environmental, thanks to Max Hannah and Fran Meadley. Well done to all the competitors who participated in this race and took on the 1km swim, 2km board, 2km run and 4km ski, either individually or as a team. Carnivals Hosted This season Secret Harbour SLSC hosted the State Board Riding Championships. This saw a total of 4 medals brought home. Well done to our two competitors; Lee McGovern and Rohan Pugh. We are looking forward to once again hosting this seasons’ championships. SHSLSC also hosted two navy boat series’ throughout the season, which ran smoothly thanks to all the volunteers and provided spectators with much excitement. Country Championships This is one of the clubs highlights during the competitive season and always brings out the competitiveness of all athletes participating, despite our best efforts we came second again to Bunbury. It’s satisfying to see a range of competitors from all ages and disciplines competing in this iconic fun and friendly competition. This season saw us bring home 14 bronze, 9 silver and 13 gold medals. Good work team. Masters State Championships Congratulations to all of you who trained and competed religiously throughout the season and well done on collectively receiving 2 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals. 36 W.A State Championships The State Champs this year was a tough competition and good work to everyone who competed. Our competitors this season managed to win a silver and a bronze medal. Another successful season for pool rescue, Caroline Bates and a small group of approximately 11 competitors put Secret Harbour on the radar. The competitors form U/12’s – Masters, attended state champs with the result being 8 gold, 2 silver and 12 bronze medals. We are expecting great results for next season as training has already began. IRB championships saw SHSLSC melding with North Cottesloe and receiving a silver medal. National Pool Rescue Championships A small group of accomplished competitors attended the national championships in Brisbane and excelled far and beyond with Jesika Bussey receiving a gold medal and setting a national record in the U/15 100m manikin tow and Rob Bates wining 2 silvers in the Masters 50m and 100m manikin tows. Junior State Championships The Junior states was again held at Fremantle SLSC where we came 10th out of 20 clubs that competed hence maintaining last year’s results. This year saw us develop and present our first junior all age march past team, which won a bronze medal against other veteran clubs of this event. Thanks to the Bird family for initiating the team and Robyn Bevan for coaching them. Cockburn Crawl The Cockburn Crawl is a 1600m ocean swim hosted annually by the club at the Rockingham foreshore in February. We were pleased to have approximately 100 competitors enter this year’s event, which is the best outcome we have had in several years. The event was proudly sponsored by the City of Rockingham and partners Act Belong Commit. Thank you to all the members who volunteered to assist with the coordination and running of the Cockburn Crawl. Surf Sports Report cont’d Australian Championships (Aussies) The championships this year were held at Kirra on the Gold Coast. SHSLSC was represented by two athletes; Joe Ford and Jesika Bussey. A huge thanks to Caroline and Digby Wilson for officiating at the competition and Megan Williams for her assistance in the IRB’s. The World SLSC Titles (Rescue2012) How exciting it was to have an international event at our doorstep (Adelaide)! Congratulations to Joe Ford for wining a bronze medal in the open ocean surf ski event which was a 17km downwind race. We were also represented by Steve Ford. Thanks again to Caroline and Digby Wilson for officiating. Club Points Championships Club points is a chance for all clubbies to have a go at all the various surf sport disciplines including the surf swims, runs, board races and ski paddling races run each Sunday. This year once again proved a challenge due to our busy lifesaving agendas and it was great to see juniors having a go. Club Championships This is the day where the true competitiveness of our clubbies really shows. The trek to the dog beach proved worth it when all was said and done and the competition got underway. Thanks to Garry Williams who sacrificed his opportunity to compete as he coordinated the water safety for the day’s events. Coaches Thank you to all coaches who gave up their valuable time. Mark Dove, Alexis Grayson, Caroline Bates, Ron Wade, Ross Onions, Brendan Privilege, Tina Runion, Barry Jarrett, Carolyn and Alana Wilson. Like all sports, competing and participating involves numerous people to organise, set up, run, collate and clean up. Even if not hosting an event, we all have a roster to fulfil with surf house. This includes; water safety, first aid, officiating, and team managing and ensuring the necessary equipment is brought to each event. I personally would like to thank everyone who assisted and volunteered to help fulfil these rosters and more. This was my first season as Surf Sports Director, as I have only be Secret Harbour Surf Life Saving Club has yet again come to the end of another busy season, and is already in the process of planning the next season. Clubs do not survive without the people who volunteer and dedicate their time and various skills, to promote their club. The club benefits from these skills immensely and provides members with new and exciting opportunities to constantly learn new skills and push themselves to take on new tasks with guidance and encouragement, albeit as a competitor, an official, a manager or coach. This season has seen us competing at club level, premiership and boat series’, IRB competitions, metro and country carnivals, state, national and international championships. This was my first season as Surf Sports Director, as I have only been in SLS for 4 years, I appreciate how much I’ve learnt through this position and am grateful for the opportunities this position has provided me. See you on the beach Leanne Spiers Director of Surf Sports Officiating A big thanks must go to all those members who dedicated their time and effort to officiating. This year we ran an officials course and we now have 10 new officials. Thank you very much to Carolyn Wilson for running the course and Digby for helping. Carolyn Wilson has done our club proud pursuing her passion for officiating, seeing her chief judge in the open male arena at Aussies, and officiating at nearly all of the competitions this season regardless of the disciplines. 37 Boat Captain’s Report The 2012/2013 season, ‘actively’ beginning in August for most crews on the Ergo’s and transitioned into the boats by September. When October rolled around the Secret’s crews were ready for every challenge. Secret Harbour held 2 boat carnivals throughout the Navy series. The first competition was held in December and provided competitors with a 2-meter swell and a sunny 30-degree day, while the second in January again saw a good swell and beautiful day. The success of both events would not have been as successful without the assistance of so many people at the Club, including trailer movement, set-up and pack-up, thank you to all involved. Notable mentions include the Peel 4WD Club, for boat movement, the Social Committee, Sarah Lowe and Sarah Pugh for catering, with water safety by Ian Noorman, Andrew Williams, John Cahill, Like Stafferton and our own rowers. Both events’ providing plenty of thrills & spills to be laughed about over a beer at the end of the day! This season also saw the culmination of all past male and female Boaties and sweeps from previous years in a wonderful celebration, we are hoping for another next season being the 25 Year Celebrations. 38 This season we had three main teams including the ‘Secret Harbour 6-Packs’, Secret Agents’ and ‘Secret Gems’. With two boats in operation al season and each crew on the water up to four times per week, we would like to thank Garry Hart and Lee McGovern for their work on the ‘red & blue’ boat, ensuring its sustainability throughout the season. While there are some successes in individual races, the challenge of competition, dedication and commitment really came to fruition when the teams attended the SLSWA Country State Championships and Masters Championships in March 2013. The ‘Secret 6-Pack’s’, including Rob Bates, Nick McIver, John Turner, Garry Hart and Ian Lund, swept by Ron Wade, knows and appreciates the rewards of hard work. This team, at the beginning of the season had a variety of surf expertise, however with devotion and commitment were able to successfully demonstrate their endurance and teamwork reaping their rewards. It was not until their last race day of the season they achieved their ultimate – to medal at Country State’s. Competing against all the other country clubs including Esperance, Bunbury, Albany, Broome, and Geraldton, they were successful in winning a Silver Medallion for the season. Boat Captain’s Report cont’d For the past few years, the ‘Secret Agents’ have trained in awesome swell, caught the ‘wave of the day’ and still continue to challenge any crew to a race. With Brendan Privilege as Sweep, Pete Salleo, Garry Williams, Rick Lowe, Matt Osborne and Chris Leece, the crew train in any condition, rain, surf or shine. Their dedication throughout the season placed the commitment bar high for other crew’s to aspire to. By January the crew were again reeling in their success by reaching the finals for the day. While the crew didn’t medal, the race and desire to win was still very real, coming a close fourth. Ross Onions (Sweep), and the ‘Secret Gem’s’ crew including Kellie Turner, Sharee Hart, Karen Clay, Megan Williams and Kylie Brennon were competitive during the Navy Series, with the Country States being the Pinnacle of their success. After training every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday morning at 5.30am, sometimes in storms and lightening, they had no time to talk. By the end of the series, the team had won two Bronze medals in ‘Ladies Country State Championships’ and ‘Masters – 160’s’. On behalf of the Boat section, we would like to thank Rohan Pugh in the coordination of the Boat section over the past two years. As he continues on with his other sporting passions we wish him all the very best and hope we will see him sweeping or rowing again in the near future. A very big thank you to Megan Williams for organising the Boaties dinner and congratulations to Garry Williams for receiving the annual ‘Boat Award’ for 2013. As one season draws to a close, training for the next season has already begun. With a Boat committee newly established, the potential to buy a new boat at Aussies ’14 and fundraising required, fitness every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with squad training beginning in July we hope to have a very competitive, fit and social squad. Squad training is for anybody that has their Surf ‘Bronze Medallion’ and would like to have a row. If you are interested in rowing or sponsoring a boat or crew during 2013/14 please contact our new Boat Captain, John Turner.
