Hallo Judo Fam!!!

Senior class will still run from 6-7:30pm as per usual.

See you all next week and thanks for your understanding.

In a world than can be seen as unsafe at times, time must be taken and awareness cultivated that helps us build trust in our communities and spaces.

Stand Up, Be Present, and be prepared to Speak Out

SAFEGUARDING is a whole-of-sport responsibility, and Judo has been summoned to Take the Pledge as part of Safe Sport Day tomorrow.

The International Safeguards for Children in Sport are calling on sports from around the globe to ensure coaches, officials and club leaders stand up, speak out and play their part in child safeguarding.

They ask that sports clubs embed eight basic safeguards in their operations to protect child safety, and Take the Pledge ensure sport is safe for children everywhere.
