This year\u2019s gymnastics season is over\u2026\u2026.and what a fantastic term our gymnastics squad has had! The squad trained during Thursday Sport time and many girls went as far as training every Tuesday at 6.30am. Considering the early start time, freezing weather conditions and expectation for parents\/grandparents to drive their children to the gym and back to school, it was an impressive effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The day of the competition was another early start, but our team arrived on time, enthusiastic and raring to compete. They were nervous yet excited. All girls had done their utmost to prepare and all team members were encouraging and supportive of each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The convener of the event complimented St Ursula\u2019s on their team spirit and encouragement of not only their own team members but competitors from other schools.
