Gymnastics Achievements

Our gymnasts recently took part in the East Renfrewshire heat of the schools competition. We had 3 teams competing;  a level 1 and two level 2 teams.  Each gymnast performs a floor routine and competes at vault.  Although we did not win any medals at the competition the girls had all worked so hard on their skills over the term we awarded them medals for floor, vault and overall at each level based on their scores at the competition.
