Classes
Your child will train weekly throughout the school year with
their teammates to perfect routines performed on stage at two
annual team competitions and our annual concert. These are usually
held in term three. All costumes are supplied by the College.
Classes usually finish around the end of November. See our 2019 Calendar of events and browse the
following pages for information on the age groups we
cater to, our training times
and the equipment
required.
Opportunities for further involvement
We are proud to encourage all of our members to compete on an
individual level in graceful solos, solos and duos in addition to
their team commitments. Not only is it fun...it enables
girls to improve their skills through one-on-one time with a
qualified coach.
Solos, duos and graceful solos
While primarily a team sport, your child can compete in solo or
duo routines with their friends. Depending on your child's
age and interest, they may take part in one to five extra solo and
duo events during the year.
Calisthenic skills exams
At the end of the year your child may choose to participate in
the Australian Calisthenic Federation (ACF) Skills Program. The
program is similar to the RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) ballet
examination system and involves pupils demonstrating sound
calisthenic technique for an examiner.
This is a short practical exam taken every one to three years,
and only after pupils have been adequately prepared by coaching staff.
The complete range of the ACF Calisthenic Skill Syllabus
videos are available to view on YouTube. For more information go to the Calisthenic Association of Western Australia
(CAWA) website.

State Team
This year our college is proud to have two State Team
representatives in the Junior section. All current CAWA members
will be invited to attend State Team workshops and can trial for
the team. The trials are generally held in November. This year the
ACF National Championships will be held in Perth!
