NEW CIRKIDZ SIDE QUEST πŸ‘£βœ‹

We gave the path to the toilets a serious upgrade.

Aaron & Amelia have revamped our old painted way-finding footprints into a follow-the-path challenge with handprints, jumps, hops and balancing bits for busy circus bodies to try on the way past. Naturally, Izzy and Amelia had to give in a test run (absolutely nailing it too, we might add)

Next time you’re at the circus centre, give it a go yourself -- safely, of course!

Recent teacher feedback πŸ‘‡

πŸ’¬ β€œWe visited Cirkidz twice in Term 1 and our students had an absolute ball. The instructor adapted the program expertly to cater for our students' needs.”

πŸ’¬ β€œThe smaller rotations allowed students to stay engaged and active throughout the sessions.”

πŸ’¬ β€œSome students have returned to our local circus school as a result of this workshop. Both these students were inactive, not doing any extracurricular activities. This was such an unexpected bonus.”

πŸ’¬ β€œI would bring my class here again in a heartbeat.”

Whether your students are climbing onto a trapeze for the first time, balancing together, hula-hooping their heart out, circus has a very special way of bringing people together.

Take a look at what kids get up to at our Cirkidz Satellite classes at the John McVeity Centre! πŸ‘€πŸ€Έ

Every Thursday after school, kids are climbing, rolling, balancing, vaulting and generally having a great time with trainers Sam and Zara.

Think circus and acrobatic skills, parkour, games, movement and loads of active fun, taught in a safe and supportive environment.

Kids build confidence, get stronger, burn some energy and learn cool new moves they’ll absolutely want to show off at the playground afterwards.

It’s active, creative, social, and a great way to try something different after school.

Mid-block spots and free trials are still available if your kiddo wants to come πŸ‘€
