Howick Rhythmics

Term 2 starts today at Howick Rhythmics and we are so excited to welcome everyone back for another amazing term!

Before the holidays, our gymnasts had a fantastic time at our HR GFA Festival, showcasing all the skills they’ve been working so hard on. It was wonderful to see their confidence, smiles, and love for rhythmic gymnastics shining through — we are so proud of everyone who took part!

We still have spaces available in our recreational classes, and would love to welcome some new faces to our rhythmic family:

Tuesday – Farm Cove Intermediate
🕓 4:45pm – 5:45pm

Thursday – Somerville Intermediate
🕔 5:00pm – 6:00pm

Rhythmic gymnastics is a beautiful sport that combines movement, flexibility, dance, and apparatus skills in a fun and supportive environment. Whether your child is brand new or already loves gymnastics, our friendly coaches are here to help them grow in confidence and have fun.

Come and join the Howick Rhythmics family this term!

✨ GFA Festival This Weekend! ✨

Come down and support our incredible gymnasts as they take the floor and show off their hard work, skills, and passion 🤸‍♀️

If you’ve ever been curious about what rhythmic gymnastics is all about, this is the perfect chance to see it in action—grace, strength, and plenty of fun all in one place!

📍 Held at Farm Cove Intermediate Gymnasium
🎟 Entry: $5 (Under 5’s FREE)

We’ll also have a small canteen and trinkets available to purchase throughout the morning. Bring your friends and family, cheer loud, and be part of a great competition celebrating our gymnasts 💜

Our annual Bring & Buy second hand sale is happening on the 24th of March! Any equipment or leotards that you might have to sell would be extremely helpful to our gymnasts!

We will be accepting items up until the 23rd of March so please drop them into training or send us through an email. All items will need to be clearly labelled with your name, price and bank details.
