Southbridge School comes 2nd at Jump Jam Regional Competition.

Nicole Thornton —

On Saturday 12th August the Jump Jam team prepared for their Regional Competition which was held at Cashmere High School. Their routine was 'Don't Stop the Party' and the team worked for many weeks preparing for this competition and brought their 'A game" on stage. 

This year our Jump Jam team consisted of 13 Year 5 and 6 students and is coached by Mrs Thornton and Miss Harvey.

We received three awards, Excellence in Technical Execution Excellence in Presentation, and Excellence in Sportsmanship (which is given to only one team.) We received excellent feedback impressed the judges and have been invited to compete in Strictly Nationals in November. 

We have also made it through to the X-treme category for South Island Nationals and are VERY excited about this.

Thank you to everyone who helped to get the team ready for the competition. They looked amazing. 

We couldn't be more proud.
