DEAR GYMNASTS AND FAMILIES,

WG LEVEL 6-8 & IDP STATE TRIALS

Competition Season has begun for our WG girls in levels 6 and 8 and IDP level 2. The 6-8 girls have had their first State trial at Westfields and will be heading out on 17-18th March for their second State trial to Hunter Sports Club and wrapping up the month with their State Championships.

From Level 6 we had Lilou Madden, Georgette Abdallah and Jessica Dawe. In Level 8 we had Ally Venianakis, Carlie Ede and Kristen Venianakis.

 Briege Devlin is our only IDP girl competing this year in IDP level 2. Briege competed well and placed 15th overall and made the Bronze squad for her level. Her state trial held also at Westfields and will conclude with State Championships at the end of the month.

Congratulations on their efforts and wishing them all the best in the upcoming weeks.

ONLINE ENROLMENTS HAVE ARRIVED FOR GYMNASTICS!!!

If your child is a current 2012 registered gymnast, you will have the opportunity to re-enrol online through the centre's website for Term 2, and to avoid the queue's that often arise at the centre's reception area.

You would have recieved an email recently with your child's unique login ID and PIN - If you have more than one child, you will receive a separate email detailing the login ID and PIN for each child. If you have not received this email please contact Kate to get your child's login and pin.

Things to be aware of are:

-          Your child must be a current registered gymnast of the centre and have paid your 2012 registration, otherwise you will not be able to register for a class.  New enrolments must come into the centre and register first.  

-          You must login and book as your child. A parent logging in as themselves will not allow you to book into the class.

-          You will need to log in separately if you have more than one child attending gymnastics.

-          Bookings are automatically deleted after 20minutes if the booking isn't paid for.  You may lose your spot in the class if you do not pay for the booking within the 20 minutes window.  Payments are made securely through PayPal.

 Once online, simply click on 'make a booking' and follow the prompts to make the booking and to make a payment.   

 Enrolments open Monday 26th March..... You can investigate the online process beforehand if you like, but you won't be able to complete a booking until reenrolments are open.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAMS

Our holiday programs are running throughout April, beginning on Tuesday 10th January and bookings are being taken now. Enrolment forms can be found below.

KIDS KLUB is a fully supervised holiday care program, packed full with Gymnastics, Stadium sports, Games, Movies and other activities to keep your children active throughout the day. The programs operates between 9am to 5pm as well as providing a half-day option from 9am to 1pm. Children are to bring food/drink for the day and appropriate clothing for the day. Full Day - $42 Half Day - $30

MG and WG HOLIDAY TRAINING PROGRAMS are also being held and we encourage all competitive gymnasts to attend at least 2 training sessions as to not loose their strength and flexibility due to the long break in the terms. We have also extended the WG holiday hours to 3pm and they will need to provide recess and lunch for each day they attend.

Please note that we are a NUT FREE zone and any nuts or nut products will be taken from the child and be returned to the parents at the end of the day, due to the severe allergies our children have. Bookings are essential.
