GYMNASTICS

On Friday the 16th of February, Stage One Yellow and Stage One Purple students traveled to Armidale to participate in a Gymnastics program that has been funded by the Governments Sporting Schools Grant. The focus of the program is on fundamental movement patterns that help children progress and develop skills. All games and activities are safe and encourage children to work with others and build self-esteem. Participating students had a fantastic time during their first lesson and they look forward to continue learning and developing new skills, the program will finish in March. Stage One Teal and Early Stage One Orange students will be provided with the opportunity to participate in this wonderful program next term.
