At Camden Narellan’s recent physie interclub all the junior members were asked if they would like to sit up the front and watch the Open Senior section. There were senior girls were very happy to have the girls sit and watch and the younger girls were in awe. Teacher Leanne said, “Most of the little ones never get to see the big girls do physie and especially physie of this high standard. I even witnessed a couple of girls trying to balance after watching them!” (see pic below)
Over in W.A. a friendly comp was held when Westcoast club in Perth travelled down to Southwest club in Australind (top photo). Both clubs are relatively new so it was an exciting day with many girls competing for the first time ever. The highlight of the day for the junior girls was watching the outstanding performance of the Westcoast seniors and ladies. It never fails to inspire a little girl to see what she can become in the future.
