It was a pleasure to welcome the Trevallyn Sea Scout Group to the Australian Maritime College Survival Centre for an evening of team-building activities in the pool.
As part of our commitment to supporting the local community, AMC Search provided the group with cost-effective access to this outstanding facility.
Activities like these give young people the opportunity to build confidence, teamwork and practical water skills, while also introducing them to the Australian Maritime College and the many career pathways available across the maritime industry.
We hope the experience sparked plenty of curiosity about where a future in maritime could take them.

It is with great sadness that we farewell our seafaring lecturer, alumnus and dear friend Les Lockwood, who passed away on the 21st of July. He will be remembered fondly as a highly professional marine engineer, and as a lecturer who was completely dedicated to the success of his students. Les’ influence as a lecturer is spread widely across the maritime industry, and his legacy will remain strong by virtue of those very many seafarers who have benefitted from his teaching and mentorship. Our thoughts are with Les’ wife and family, who farewelled him at a private funeral.
