FACE TO FACE CLASSING
It’s not long now before the schools allow us to start using their halls so as we can resume our face to face classing. As soon the school notify me its ok to use their halls, I will be notifying all students via email and our website.
I want to assure all students that even if the school halls are not available in Term 3, I will be offering face to face classing options as from the start of Term 3.
TERM THREE CLASS TIMETABLE, LOCATIONS AND CLASSING OPTIONS WILL BE RELEASED BY 10/07/2020
WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT DURING TERM?
The Term 2 Zoom classes have taught us there are many ways to present a class that is educational and fun. It has taught us that there are other alternatives exercises/drills to improve a student’s spirit besides sparring. The alternative spirit exercise we have been practising this term is called the Physical Challenge Program.
On a personal note, Term Two has rekindled my enthusiasm for one on one private lessons. All students who have been participating have found them to be helpful and worthwhile.
It has also shown me how far Wolves members' loyalty goes. Without our members support and adventurous spirit, they have shown by staying with our school during this challenging time, we would have had to close the doors. I am humbled by each and every student.
WHAT POSITIVES WE CAN TAKE INTO OUR FACE TO FACE TERM 3 CLASSES?
Our enthusiasm for our school.
Our unwillingness to ever say I quit.
Our commitment to all students that we will always look for a better way to improve our schools’ programs.
Continue to utilise our modified syllabus into Term 3.
Incorporate our Physical Challenge exercises into our current and grading syllabus.
ONE ON ONE – PRIVATE LESSONS
Due to the popularity and success we have had with “One on One Private Lessons”, I will be offering limited one on one private lesson places as from Term 3, 2020.
