Welcome to term 2,
This term is jam packed with lots of events so get the calendar out to mark these important dates.
Grading Testing
The first 3 weeks of this term will be dedicated to in-class testing. All Juniors and Seniors will need to pass the criteria to earn their new belt. This a time where parents can really help as an extra class here and there could be the difference in a student passing. Its also a time that some students will not be rewarded with a new belt so we ask that all students and parents, support Chief instructor Tom’s grading syllabus and tough decisions that may need to be made. All Students that put in the effort will always be rewarded!
In week 3 Chief instructor Tom will start to hand out belts at the end of each class.
– Parents are welcome to come in to watch the last 20 minutes of class if they are available as it’s always a special moment watching your children earn a reward that they have worked hard for.
Junior Students
For all Senior students that are blue belt and above that are wanting to grade. You will need to attend the grading in front of the Grand Master on Saturday the 6th of May. More info will be below…
Team Building Comp Session
– With the comps fast approaching,Chief Instructor will offer some team building competition based sessions at his home gym on the following days and times.
– Due to there being no regular classes on the public holidays, he will offer a session on those days.
– These sessions will be the difference between winning and losing so a must for our Comp team.
Grand Master Seminar & Grading
Grand master Daher will be in town to conduct a seminar on Saturday the 6th of May.
* The usual Saturday morning childrens class will still be on from 9 to 10am. Chief Instructor will take the kids class and then join the seminar after. This Saturday class will be the last opportunity for the juniors to complete their testing.
* The usual senior class will NOT be on so all seniors arrive at 9am to join the seminar.
