Campbell Primary School were delighted to welcome back the team from Canberra City Gymnastics back to run a four week gross motor program with our kindergarten and year 1 classes for the second year running. Led by fully qualified gymnastic coaches, Adam and Chris, students have been working hard on skills like balance, flexibility, agility and strength, while having a tonne of fun in the process. Thanks again to the Australian Government Sporting Schools program who provided the funding, it has been a huge success with gains in skills, strength and most importantly confidence across both grades.

Students have especially enjoyed learning to safely complete forward and backward rolls, vault skills, forward rolls over the bar and some very interesting team poses that tested their communication and teamwork skills, as well as strength and balance. We have all had so much fun and very much hope we can continue to feature gymnastics as part of our junior Physical Education program next year!
