ABOUT THE ED-GYM PROGRAM The mobility of the ED-Gym program allows us to visit your school with two accredited coaches and 6 stations of gymnastics equipment: and 4 sub stations of ancillary equipment. · BEAM · PARALLEL BARS · MINI TRAMPOLINE · ROLLING WEDGE · TUMBLING STRIP · HANDSTAND STATION We visit the school once a week for five or ten weeks and the lesson duration can be 30, 40, 45 or even 50 minutes, depending of what fits best with the school timetable. After a warm-up and a demonstration of the skills on each apparatus, the class is divided into 5 groups and the students rotate through all stations. Because of the setting up and packing away time for the equipment, this program is best suited to schools with 4 or more classes. The classes are designed for pre primary through to year 7. The skills become progressively harder from year to year and more challenging as the weeks pass. A large range of incentives are built into the program, (see Benefits and Incentives) As well as the Perth metropolitan area, the ED GYM trucks will visit schools as far as Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Albany, Esperance and anywhere in between. (Travel costs will apply) Please fill out the Expression of Interest, to tentatively book a program, or for additional information call our friendly staff on 1 300 657 798
One of the most exciting innovations to encouraging children to participate in gymnastics has been the introduction of the Gymbus into Western Australia and Victoria. The double-decker buses have been converted into mini gymnasiums. The floors and walls are padded with foam and carpeted for safety. The roomy interior has, parallel bars, swinging ropes, roman rings, rolling wedges, two foam filled pits, a trapeze, fireman’s pole, climbing ladders, monkey bars, and two tunnels that link the upper and lower levels via a slide. It has to be seen - to be believed! The interior of the Gymbus is divided into 5 colour-coded rooms, each with 3-4 activity stations. Each class is divided into 5 groups and after a warm up, rotate through the five areas, completing 15 – 20 activities each lesson. The Gymbus can provide you and your students with: · A 5 OR 10 week course introducing basic gymnastics skills including participation certificates for every student · A 1 day program as a grand finale to your existing gymnastics, PMP or fundamental movement program · An "End of term" or Christmas activity · A fundraiser for your school fete Children love it because it incorporates play equipment with modified gymnastics equipment and the uniqueness of a double decker bus. Teachers love it because it includes the expertise of two accredited gymnastics coaches, and 50 years of experience in the lesson plans. The Gymbus is divided into 5 colour-coded areas, each with 3 –4 activity stations. The class is divided into five groups with approximately six children per group, and after a demonstration of the skills, the children rotate through the five areas, until they have completed a minimum of fifteen activities. Classes can be of 30, 40 or even 45 minute’s duration Free play time is always the favourite time, using games to practise the skills learnt for the day. The Gymbus is suitable for prep through to year 5. As well as covering the Perth and Melbourne metropolitan area, the Gymbus will travel to country areas with in a 250km radius of the CBD.

Costs for each program will vary according to: 1. The number of students in each class 2. The total number of classes 3. The duration of the lessons, 30, 40 45 or 50 minutes 4. Classes running back to back allowing for lunch and recess breaks Once we have established to number of classes and the number of students, the most economical option will be worked out for your school. Generally speaking the more students involved the cheaper the program becomes per head. For example: 5 week course of 8 x 30 minute classes of approximately 25 students = $75.00 per class = $3.00 per child per lesson = $15.00 for 5 lessons The cost for a One day program is slightly more than that of the 5 and 10 week courses. Note: We are obliged to collect GST; however the school can claim it back as a credit from the ATO Call 1 300 657 798 in your state and ask for the School Co-Coordinator |
