COVID-19 Update – Upcoming Grading Postponed

Posted on: March 18th, 2020 by David Finch

COVID-19 Update

Ref; the upcoming Grading on 29th March 2020 – POSTPONED

Due to the current situation and the large numbers of students and families who would have attended we have taken the decision to postpone the upcoming Grading on Sunday, 29th March.

We have re-scheduled this for the weekend of 9th May 2020 (Canterbury).  We will confirm whether it is a Saturday / Sunday for you / your children.

Please note that we are having to monitor events daily and so this may change but we will keep you all posted.

KEEP TRAINING – this is important.  You have all worked so hard this year and it is important to maintain what you have accomplished.  May will come around very quickly and we want to be ready.

At this moment in time classes are continuing as normal but please do make note of the actions being putting in place:

  • All students must wash their hands before class.
  • Parents etc must wait outside the hall during the class to reduce numbers.  Please just drop-off and pick-up.
  • All students are to wait outside (in a safe dry place) until the hall has been emptied of the previous class.
  • If you / family members show any symptoms of COVID-19 or just feel unwell please do not come to class.

Thank you for your patience and understand during this challenging time.

COVID-19 – update (17th March, 12pm)

Posted on: March 17th, 2020 by David Finch

COVID-19 update – 17th March (12pm)

Good afternoon parents, guardians, students and friends,

At this challenging time I firstly would like to wish you all the very best and hope that life has not been too disrupted.  Understandably, we have been inundated with questions regarding classes, training and the upcoming Grading on 29th March.

We are constantly reviewing the situation and advice on an hourly basis as well as speaking daily with venues and schools and aim to keep you all informed should anything change.  For the moment, all classes and events will continue as normal this week however, this could change and we are prepared for that.  That being said, we will be implementing the following:

  • All students MUST wash their hands before the start of class.
  • We will only allow those students training in the room.  All parents / guardians / friends must wait outside or in your cars to limit the number of people in one space.
  • We will ask all students waiting for class to wait outside until the class before has left – again, to limit the number of people in one space.
  • If you or anyone in your household display any symptoms or generally feel unwell, please do not come to class.

We are putting plans in place should we be forced to close classes and will keep you all informed should this be necessary.

Thank you for your patience and understanding at this challenging time.

Tag-testing starts this week

Posted on: March 3rd, 2020 by David Finch

We will start tag-testing this week for the upcoming grading day on Sunday, 29th March.

As always, if we feel a student is ready to move up to the next level we will add a black tag to their belt and issue a grading letter.  Please do not worry if your son / daughter does not receive a tag.  We have plenty of time for you to practice at home or they may just need a little extra time.

Here are the details of the grading day:

  • Sunday, 29th March 2020
  • Canterbury Primary School, Canterbury
  • Mighty Matts – 9:30am (start)
  • Juniors & Adults – 10:15am (start)
  • Panel Grading – 12:00 – 3:00pm (for red-stripe – deputy black students only)
