The School’s GymSport Festival was created as an event for schools to celebrate gymnastics in all its forms and
to generate interest and enthusiasm about this wonderful multi-discipline sport.
This event provides an opportunity for school children to participate at their own ability level, in an individual
or group-based activity.
Our long-term goal is to provide every school in New Zealand with the opportunity to participate in a GymSport
Festival, thus increasing the visibility of the sport at a grass roots level.
ENTRY FEE:$5 per participant (please note students cannot enter this festival if they don’t take Gym Sport as an option in Term 3 Sport & Rec).
