Greetings!


What a great day we had last Sunday at our Technical comp.  We had over 65 entries with many students competing for the first time.

Based on the feedback I am getting it seems everyone had a fun time with the trophies and ribbons proving a great hit and an excellent motivation and confidence builder for many.  I love it when I continually here stories of students winning their first ever trophy or ribbon, after years of trying in various other sports.

A HUGE thank you to the many students and parents who volunteered on the day.  It was for this reason we were able to finish only 5 minutes after the scheduled finishing time!!!

Christmas Party tickets have gone on sale at reception and you should have by now received an invitation with a tear off slip on the bottom.   We have already sold approx half of our tickets so don't leave it too late to book in.

A quick reminder that the Gym equipment is out of bounds for all children- because of the safety.   Fiona and I have had to speak to many students and brothers and sisters about moving away from this equipment.  Please assist us by ensuring your children don't go near the equipment.

Another reminder.  Parents- don't assume the kids want to wind down just because the school year is coming to a close and Christmas is coming.  Lets work together to keep them focussed on their goals and help them achieve success in everything they do.

Have a great week.

Club Oath
by Damien O'Flaherty I have listed below our club oath which our Red belts, Teenagers and Adults recite at the start of each class.  It is important that students not only know the club oath but that they understand in their own way what the words mean.

I will demonstrate at all times,
Personal integrity,

Meanings:

Humility: a lack of false pride,
Self Restraint: self command or control
Integrity: always acting according to a consistent framework of principles
