Cheer, HipHop and Aerobics
Congratulations are in order for our CHEER, HIP HOP and AEROBICS teams.
Well done to our Aerobics teams, Party Girls on winning a Gold medal and Future Stars winning a silver medal for their performances. This was a standalone event, and their next competition is the States Finals. Meanwhile our three Cheer teams Future Legends - APS Light of the Stars, APS Super Girlz, Ardtornish Lightening and Hip Hop Da Girlz, have all qualified for State finals which is a fantastic result! If people have any questions about the teams, contact Melissa Rainey by email at (ardpsdance@gmail.com). The next competitions are coming up in June, July and August. Participating in performance-based activities provides numerous benefits for children. These include developing an ability to balance academics, personal life and performance commitments. Children also develop an understanding for punctuality, organisation, and prioritisation to meet their responsibilities effectively.
At Ardtornish our cheer, dance, hip hop and aerobics are practiced in a safe and supervised environment, with trained instructors and appropriate safety measures in place to prevent injuries and ensure the well-being of the children involved. |

On Friday 26th May, the Year 3’s from Room 29 went on a Zoo Snooze Camp. They arrived at the zoo in the morning and was able to spend a few hours exploring, observing and discovering. They met the Education officer at 5pm when the zoo closed. Then the real fun began! Zoolympics, up close and personal with a reptile, a barbecue dinner (thanks parent helpers!), even dessert, setting up sleeping areas, a night walk around the zoo, supper and a bedtime story. Sleep came easily for most after such a long day. An early wakeup, packing up before breakfast and another guided tour of the zoo before it opened. Finally it was time to go home and share all the exciting things that happened.
A special thankyou to all the parents who were able to help on the day/night make this unique experience a reality.
