3 Sunshine Coast Karate UPDATE: NEW TRAINING SPACE A big thank you to Sensei Martin and Richard Garnett for investing a great deal of time and effort to complete the flooring. There are still a few more things to do, but we hope to open the space in term 3 for a short trial period before an official launch. WHO WERE THE FIRST TO TRAIN IN THE UPSTAIRS SPACE? We got a little excited this week and had a smaller size teens-adult class on Tuesday night so we thought we d test out the new training space. Senpai Matt got the class kick started with a warm up and we were on our way. Our lucky students getting to test out this training area was Senpai Matt, Senpai Keanu, Senpai Bailey, Renae, Justin, Andrew & Lachlan. I hope everyone enjoyed their training. Can t wait to launch this training space real soon. ATTENDANCE RECOGNITION Congratulations to all students who put in a great effort in the dojo throughout the month of May.

5 Sunshine Coast Karate COMMUNITY COLOURING COMPETITION Here is the first entry of our Term 2 Colouring Competition. Tatayana is only 5 years old. Well done Tatayana and good luck with your entry.

SCK INSTRUCTORS SUPPORTING LOCAL JAPANESE LANGUAGE STUDENTS Japanese language teacher from the Kawana High School, Nicole Notting Sensei, continues to go above and beyond to provide her students with memorable learning experiences to not only develop their language skills but to also experience the Japanese culture right here on the Sunshine Coast. Last Friday the 4th May, Notting Sensei organised a full day of activities for her students (30 students) which I m certain will be remembered by her students for many years to come. Dance, suikawari (a traditional Japanese game which involves splitting a watermelon with a stick), mochitsuki (pounding of rice to make mochi annual tradition that usually happens around New Years), lunch at a popular Japanese Restaurant at Dicky Beach and KARATE. Sensei Martin did a fabulous job presenting an hour long karate training session of kihons (basics) which was delivered in both English and Japanese. This was followed by a brief discussion of the history of Karate and a demonstration. A big thank you to Notting Sensei for inviting us along to this special day. It is certainly a great opportunity for all Kawana High School students to advance their Japanese language studies and gain a deeper appreciation of the Japanese culture.
