Double Sunday Success - 27-06-2010 |
|
|
54 students attended the Kyu grade exam yesterday with ages ranging from 5 to 30 and levels from 14th kyu to 1st kyu. It was extremely hot in the dojo with temperatures reaching 30 degrees by early afternoon.
Despite a late start due to the centre manager not arriving until 9.45am we quickly got matters underway, the final exam finishing just after 2pm.
A 100% success rate was achieved and our congratulations go to all who took part as well as our appreciation to the parents for their continued support and commitment to their children's development.
