15.01.2022 IMPORTANT PLEASE READ Dear students, parents and caregivers of St Peter’s Catholic School, Rochedale. I received word yesterday afternoon that St Peter’s has decided to cancel all external hirers (like GKR Karate) for August, 2020 as a pre caution.... Luckily, we have been able to secure a nearby venue on the same day/time! This change begins IMMEDIATELY. The next class (Tuesday 4/8/2020). (THERE WILL BE NO GKR KARATE CLASSES AT ST PETER’S IN AUGUST). New Venue Springwood Central State School Address : Murrajong Road, Springwood. Time: 6pm-7pm. Click blue link for Google map of the school https://www.google.com//data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x6b91439f Apologies for any inconvenience. I felt it was preferable to keep a class open in the area, even if it is a few extra minutes car travel time. Sensei Tony and Sensei John look forward to seeing you at Springwood Central next week! Thank you for your patience and understanding in these ‘interesting’ times. Any questions, please let me know! Have a great day!
