World Drowning Prevention Day 2024

For World Drowning Prevention Day (WDPD) RLSSQ was involved in several awareness campaigns for the day including “Light Up Blue” in Brisbane, Townsville and Ipswich. Our fabulous Education Team presented in-classroom water safety programs to ten kindy’s and state schools across Queensland reaching over 1,000 kids. Money was raised for the RLSSQ Foundation through schools and workplaces “Dressing in Blue” on the day.
