Thursday, 5th March – no classes
Thursday, 5th March 2020
REMINDER – there are no classes this week due to the school being used.
We will start tag-testing next week (12th March).
Practice – practice – practice
Tag-testing starts this week
We will start tag-testing this week for the upcoming grading day on Sunday, 29th March.
As always, if we feel a student is ready to move up to the next level we will add a black tag to their belt and issue a grading letter. Please do not worry if your son / daughter does not receive a tag. We have plenty of time for you to practice at home or they may just need a little extra time.
Here are the details of the grading day:
- Sunday, 29th March 2020
- Canterbury Primary School, Canterbury
- Mighty Matts – 9:30am (start)
- Juniors & Adults – 10:15am (start)
- Panel Grading – 12:00 – 3:00pm (for red-stripe – deputy black students only)
