Big thank you too all who attended the GIANT Awards Day BBQ! Due to Covid-19 restrictions we were limited to putting on the usual large party. However was great to see all award recipients with their families turn up. Thank you to all the Student leader members and parent volunteers that helped throughout the day.
In addition to HOT weather, the awards day brought a good sense of community and we trust everyone enjoyed themselves! Huge congratulations to Bill Wannous who was presented his official Black Belt certificate by our Master Ryoo. Bill had a heartfelt speech which shared all his memorable moments in his journey towards achieving Black Belt and provided inspirational advice to the junior peers in the audience. He represented a great example to what it is to be a GIANT!
Looking forward to next year already!
