CHAT FROM THE MAT
How is it that we’re into term four already?! 2022 has been a very hectic but happy time with so many competitions and events giving our gymnasts plenty of opportunities to challenge themselves and put their skills on show. The progress we’ve seen in both competence and confidence has been incredible and such a rewarding reminder about what we aim to achieve at Edge. Our teams have a few more competitions during October to finish of the season with special mention to our Level 3, 5 and 6 gymnasts who have earned their place 2022 Victorian Championships in Geelong. This is an amazing testimony to their effort so far, we know they’ll give it their all!
Once again we had a blast at our holiday program. It’s always great to see kids being active and adventurous with their break and we loved seeing some new faces and making new friends.
You’ve probably heard about our plans for gym renovations this year and after lots of reasearch and we’re nearly ready to get things under way! Work will be carried out through 2022 – 2023 and while we’ll aim to minimise any interruptions to classes we will ask you to bear with us as we give Edge and exciting update and make our space better for all our gymnasts.

This is a you last chance for the year to come and see all the skills your kids have been working hard on. You’ll receive an email with your allocated time to view your child’s class this term, please contact the office if you’re unsure of your child’s week. We ask that you adhere to your time and limit the numbers of spectators attending to ensure safety for everyone.

- We ask that family members do not use the toilets unless strictly necessary.
- No photos or videos are to be taken by parents. Please ask your child’s coach to do this on your behalf to ensure other members are not photographed.

CANCELLATIONS & MAKE UP CLASSES
As we head towards the end of the year we have many coaches who’ll be completing their Year 12 exams. Unfortunately, this will mean we are short-staffed at times, so classes may be combined, have a different coach to usual, or as a very last resort cancelled, although we’ll always do our best to avoid this!
If your class is cancelled , or you can’t make it for other reasons, you’ll be issued a make-up token that you can use to book another time. Simply log on to the Customer Portal to find a suitable spot.

Sweet Summer Eats!
With the weather warming up there’s lots of freshs seasonal fruit on offer. Try this fun idea for a delicious dessert minus the sugar overload.
Grab some waffle cones, fill with a scoop of thick, creamy or coconut greek yoghurt then top with fruit of your choice – try mango, kiwi, berries, passionfruit -anything goes!
Make it a fun family affair and get the kids involved by laying out a platter of fruit and toppings and letting them fill their own cones. Kids are far more likely to eat good food if they have a hand in making it!
