Hi all,
We hope that all of you are well and returning to normal activities as Canberra begins to open up again.
We have been working on the plan to return to classing and are excited to announce that we will be returning to classes at the start of Term 3 2020 (Monday 20th of July).
A COVID19 plan has been developed and we will have a few changes in class in order to meet the requirements these include, temperature checks, hand sanitiser, limits on partner work and marks on floors to ensure appropriate physical distancing.
The instructors are all keen to see everyone back in uniform ready to go.

Welcome Back - 2017
Welcome back to classes we are in the second week back for the Karate Kids Classes. We have had four Trials so far in the class and interest from a couple more families. A great start to the year and plans for growth in the School.

We are looking forward to some of our Karate Kids moving up into the later class as well.

Dan Results are not yet back but this is something to look forward to for the school and an opportunity for the Juniors to interact with more of the region 3 members.

A number of our students will be looking at Future Dan tests this year, 2 eligible now and preparing for testing early this year and 3 that are currently preparing for the end of the year. If possible let's all help them prepare for their testings.

Ko Dan Ja Results - although not due to be sent until Mid May lets put our thinking hats on in preparation for the presentation of these results later in the year. Region 3 had candidates at all three of the Ko Dan Ja Shim Sa events last year.
