School GymSport Festival

Thank you to all the schools who joined us for this fun event in 2024. We had a blast!

Our 2025 GymSport Festival will be held on Sunday 14 September 2025 (the second-last weekend of Term 3).

All Southland schools are warmly invited to enter their team(s). Entry forms will be available closer to the time.

Gymnastics is a fun activity and a great foundation for other sports. The aims of this festival are to promote participation in gymnastics and include all ability levels.

Children from Year 2 to Year 8 can participate with their school and show off their individual skills as well as performing in a group floor routine. The festival includes skills from Artistic Gymnastics such as mat, vault, floor & beam. A detailed handbook is provided for teachers to outline the skills.

For safety, gymnasts should wear appropriate form-fitting clothing such as t-shirts and shorts, or leotards. No zips, buckles, buttons or jewellery please.
