Factor10 Animated
Greetings!


Welcome to another exciting week at the Academy.  I am extremely excited this week because we have now started Saturday Morning classes and I have just opened the first box of our new Factor10TM uniforms which will go on sale from next week.

Don't forget that Factor10TM is coming soon!!  In fact we have set the date for 1 July!! 

Our Saturday Morning classes are underway.  We have tried to cater for our Fitness students, Little Legends and Junior classes and we have introduced a Family martial arts class- yes there is no excuse now.  You can start training with your son or daughter!!!  Click on the following link and see what classes we have on offer - Academy Timetable

I am also extremely excited to announce that we will soon commence Saturday Sparring fixtures. We believe this will be the first of its kind in Australia.  This means students will turn up and play Taekwondo sparring just like they would do with Soccer or Football.

Congratulations to Steve Mckenzie and Courtney Bell who played at the World Cup Selection event in ACT on 26 April.  Both students played well and demonstrated great skill and sportsmanship.

Stay positive and healthy.

Have a great week.

Thought of the week!!
by Fiona O'Flaherty                                 To realize
                                The value of a sister/brother
                                Ask someone
                                Who doesn't have one.

                                To realize
                                The value of ten years:
                                Ask a newly
                                Divorced couple.

                                To realize
                                The value of four years:
                                Ask a graduate.

                                To realize
                                The value of one year:
                                Ask a student who
                                Has failed a final exam.

                                To realize
                                The value of nine months:
                                Ask a mother who gave birth to a
                                stillborn.

                                To realize
                                The value of one month:
                                Ask a mother
                                Who has given birth to
                                A premature baby.
                                
                                To realize
                                The value of one week:
                                Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

                                To realize
                                The value of one minute:
                                Ask a person
                                Who has missed the train, bus or plane.
                  
                                To realize
                                The value of one-second:
                                Ask a person
                                Who has survived an accident.
      
                                   Time waits for no one.
                                   Treasure every moment you have.
                                   You will treasure it even more when
                                   You can share it with someone special.
                                
                                   To realize the value of a friend or family member:
                                   LOSE ONE.
                           
                                   Remember...  
                                   Hold on tight to the ones you love!

Little Legends Demo
Congratulations to the Little Legends who participated in the Demo at Go Wild last Saturday.  They showed great skill and concentration considering kids were playing all around them.

Well Done!!  If any parents have some photos please email or leave them at reception so we can share them with our martial arts family!!

Thanks again.


Parents Night Out!!!!
by Fiona
Parents Night Out
I am very proud to say that we had 35 students at our Parents Night Out- Movie and Pizza Night.  I absolutely love it when I hear the Mums and Dads say that they haven't been out together by themselves for years.

The kids had a great time and watched Chiuahas in Beverly Hills and Karate Kid1.  We also managed to devour 25 Pizzas!!!
