For the second year running, St Mary’s was the most successful school in New Zealand at competitive Jump Jam. At the North Island finals held on 1 November, our Boys team and the Senior team were North Island Champions, and the Junior team performed out of their skins to get second place in their first year of jump jam. The secret to our success was the huge team effort from everyone involved; from the coach, and the parents who did an incredible job assistantant coaching and costuming.  Also we mustn’t forget our three teams of children who performed with such confidence and did everything asked of them and more. A special mention of Tewi Curtis-Lowe, Toby Taylor, Jasper Hawkes, Joe Vincent, Dominic Piceno, Alisha Yeatman and Bella Broadmore, who leave St Mary’s this year after three wonderful years of jump jam success. Also a very special mention of Colleen Curtis–Lowe and Lee Ann Taylor who have done an amazing job over the last three years, with their costumes for the boys resulting in perfect scores every year. We are sooo going to miss these mums!
