Free Water Safety DVD - Kids Alive Do The 5

As we approach the warmer months Federal Member for Lindsay, David Bradbury, has joined with Laurie Lawrence in promoting the important Kids Alive Do the Five water safety message.

Mr Bradbury has organised with Laurie Lawrence for local families to be provided with a free Living with Water DVD.“Summer isn’t too far away, so now is the perfect time to teach our children the important Kids Alive do the Five water safety message to reduce the risk of preschool downing.”

Drowning is the biggest cause of accidental death in children under five in Australia. On average one child in Australia drowns each week. Laurie Lawrence said showing your children the water safety DVD is just one small way everyone can do their bit to reduce drowning in Australia. “Owning a swimming pool is a big responsibility.

Pool owners must ensure that their pool is fenced and complies with local government legislation” said Mr Lawrence. “Every local parent should grab a copy of the DVD from David Bradbury’s office and make sure their children are doing the five.”Laurie Lawrence’s Kids Alive Do the Five are:1.Fence the pool 2.Shut the gate 3. Teach your kids to swim – it’s great 4.Supervise – watch your mate,and 5. Learn how to resuscitate

Copies of the DVD can be obtained by calling David Bradbury’s Office on (02) 4732 1801 or emailing david.bradbury@aph.gov.au For further information on Laurie Lawrence’s Kids Alive Do the Five water safety program, visit www.kidsalive.com.au

More than 500 residents celebrated a Family Fun Day at Penrith City Council’s $6 million state-of-the-art Glenmore Park Child and Family Precinct recently.
Penrith City Mayor Kevin Crameri OAM said the Family Fun Day was a great opportunity for local residents to get a first look at the centre and adventure playground and what it has to offer them and their families.
“Penrith City Council’s child care centre staff provided a huge range of activities and equipment for the many children who attended.
“The water play stations, face painting and play dough were particularly popular,” Councillor Crameri said.
“The day also gave parents a chance to check out the great new facility and speak with staff about available child care options at the centre. Penrith City Council received about 25 applications for enrolment at the centre on the day.”
The Australian Breast Feeding Association – Hawkesbury/Nepean conducted demonstration classes for expectant parents and the professional rooms were also open for the public to inspect.
Brighter Futures, Mission Australia and Spyns Inc provided a range of exciting activities including opportunities for children to engage in storytelling, reading and craft and music activities while there were always long lines at the jumping castle and the petting zoo.
Penrith Rotary Club kept the barbeques fired up and managed to distribute 400 sausage and onion sandwiches in under two hours.
