Welcome!

This year has been a great success! Tamaki Mount Wellington has done extremely well in many areas including black belt grading (with Ms Chanthie Thach being promoted to 3^rd Dan), coloured belt gradings and various tournaments (Auckland Regionals and Peewee InterClub).  At the Auckland Regionals, Tamaki placed 4^th overall – taking out three of the Best Overall Titles: Best Overall Blue-belt (Bjarne Morris), Best Overall Yellow-belt (Mervin Tibay) and Best Overall White-belt (Jasmine-Lei Thach). We would like to commend everyone for their hard work and dedication this year.  We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

New Structure – Kids Class

Ms Thu Thach and Ms Chanthie Thach have taken back the role of Head Instructors of the Kids Class, alongside Assistant Instructors Mr Bjarne Morris and Mr Simone Lo. Peewee Class has officially ceased until further notice.

Coloured Belt Grading & Peewee Grading

Well done to all those students who graded at the last coloured belt grading for the year (Tues Nov 17^th). A great achievement by all! The date set for the Peewee Grading is Thurs Dec 3^rd starting at 6pm – Good luck to all our peewees!!

Panmure Community Christmas Parade & Festival – Sat Dec 5^th 11am

We have been invited to walk in the Christmas Parade (11am – 12pm) after being recognised from our article in the local newspaper.  It will be an exciting event and we encourage everyone to attend! We will be doing a demonstration so if anyone has any great ideas, please let the Instructors know!

End of the Year Function – Mission Bay – Sat Dec 5^th 12:30pm onwards

We will be having a get together after the Parade, to kick a few balls around, go for a swim at the beach and celebrate with a shared BBQ. Children aged 13 years and under will require an accompanying adult for supervision.

Last day of training, Photos & Prize-giving – Mon Dec 14^th 6pm onwards

It is that time of the year again where we acknowledge members of the Academy, unwind and have a big feed.  Nominations for the Adult and Kids Class awards (Best Attendance, Best Overall Student, Best Tenets and Most Improved Student) will be out next week!

Volunteers

We need volunteers to help us organise the Panmure Christmas Parade, End of the Year Function and Prize-giving.  This is open to everyone – students and parents, to help with food, transportation etc.  We need as many hands as possible, please let us know if you are interested!
