Big thank you too all who attended the GIANT Christmas party! Awesome to had seen such a large turnout with over 250 people in attendance. Thank you to all the Student leader members, parent volunteers and Demo Team that helped throughout the day.
In addition to good weather that held out till closing time, the Xmas party brought a good sense of community and we trust everyone enjoyed themselves! Huge congratulations to William McKay who were presented his official Black Belt certificate by our Master Ryoo. William had a great speech which shared memorable moments in his journey towards achieving Black Belt and provided inspirational advice to the junior peers in the audience.
