The Queens Aerobics team successfully competed in the final event of the year – the New Zealand Competitive Aerobics (NZCAF) Nationals Schools Championships that was held in Queenstown at the end of Term 4.

Novice competitors who entered the pre-choreographed and novice individual and team categories all represented the school well, with five out of six qualifying for finals. The finalists all gained medals.

All Junior and Senior Open individual and team category athletes also qualified for finals and received medals.

We would like to thank our coaches Annelise Lowther, Kirsty Snoep, Helen Lowther, Kristen Wingham, Kylie Johnston and student coaches Amberly Orr and Abby McMullan for their hard work, dedication and creativity that contributed to the team’s success.
