Term 3, 2023 Newsletter
Thank you for a wonderful Term 3. What a fantastic way to finish off the end of term with our Recreational Gala. You can see all of the highlights on our Facebook image gallery below.
Our School Holiday Program will continue over the September holidays on Tuesdays and Thursday so don’t forget to sign up to keep your activities going over the break.
Also remember to save the date for our Halloween Disco on Saturday 21 October from 4pm to 6pm and our End of Year Celebration on Sunday 26 November at 1pm. All gymnasts and families invited.
Student recognition initiative
We're excited to launch a new student recognition initiative beginning in Term 4. Students who achieve new skills will be gifted with a special achievement badge to celebrate their hard work and success. These badges can be pinned on their gym bags or anywhere they'd like to showcase it. A special thanks to committee member Stacey for bringing this initiative to light and spending countless hours printing and making the badges.
