I am pleased to be leading a Gymnastics Club at St Joseph's School Oamaru on a Friday from 3-3:45
Sunday 28 December 2014
A huge congratulations to Kristiana Whiston who received a Gymnastics trophy at the final assembly on Friday 19th December. She received this for being the most improved gymnast of the year. I admire her determination and perseverance. She was continuously practicing and creating gym videos and emailing them to me. I donated and presented this new trophy that will be presented each year. It is called 'The Chantelle Jackson most improved trophy". I look forward to hearing who receives it next year. I have now finished working at St Joseph's School. Some amazng parents are going to take over the club next year with me leaving. I look forward to starting up a new club at my new school in Melbourne!

Friday 5th December end of year Gymnastics performance
On Friday 5th December we had our end of year Gymnastics performance. We had a dress rehearsal for the school. We then did a performance after school for families. The students had been learning a few routines over the last few weeks. I was so proud of them! I was very lucky and was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers from the parents that have been helping and the students. Polly did a lovely speech. I will miss you all so much! I look forward to hearing how the club goes next year.

We have had a fantastic year of
Gymnastics. We have had 50 students in total. We began the year learning floor,
beam and vault skills. We then progressed to bar skills in the playground. The
students all learnt age group completion routines. We had 26 students compete
in the Interschool competition earlier in the year. This term we have had 38 students coming on a
Friday to learn a group routine for our Gymnastics display. I loved watching the students’ progress
throughout the year and develop their skills and a love for Gymnastics.
A huge
thank-you to Kelly, Adele and Suzie who have helped throughout the year
coaching. We couldn’t have done it without your help. Thank-you to Anna and Dan
Keno for supplying our amazing leotards. Thank-you to other parents who have
stepped in along the way and helped and supported- Jayne, Anna B, Justine,
Courtenay, Louise , Adrienne and Atiria. Thanks to the Year 6 boys who have helped to
set up each week. Also thank-you to our senior students- Polly& Tess who
have helped to coach and be fantastic role models in our club.
