Nipper activities are likely to be “significantly disrupted” this season, as surf lifesaving clubs make drastic changes to children’s water safety programs to comply with COVID-19 restrictions | smh_andrew

Renee Nowytarger

“We spend a lot of time at the beach and feel it is very important for our children to be safe in the ocean and its surrounds,” she said. “Our thinking is that our younger children need their parents close by and the ‘no parents’ rule elevates other risk factors for this group,” he said. Mr Hawkins said there would also be changes to the way CPR and rescue techniques were taught, with more use of dummies but no breathing on them: "However, we are still training lifesavers to rescue so we need to do some team training for CPR and [defibrillator] as they need to know if the real scenario occurs."

_andrew I’d be more worried about Skin Cancer. SurfLifesavingNSW and SurfLifesavingAustralia inflict long hours on the beach, many not in surf, yet Nippers still wear caps and costumes offering NO protection. Sun screen is not enough. Idiot bosses prob having cancers removed already

How an algorithm could curb the spread of COVID-19 through schoolsA Melbourne software program for organising primary school classes is being used by American schools to curb the spread of COVID-19 among their students. Advertising a product to try and weight to gloomy false assertions🤔 It won't suit The Age's narrative to make it sound irretrievably bad then cry Dan, but lockdown actually has a positive effect on kids social/mental wellbeing when they bounce back on re-opening. We need kids to get it. This program sounds like a rip off of Class Creator. CC started in 2014 has made millions of student placements. Used in the US for years, including this year during the pandemic. This smacks of a company trying to make money off someone else's idea and using a global pandemic.
