Opportunities for further involvement

We encourage our members to perform in graceful solos, physical solos and with their friends in duos, in addition to their team commitments. Not only is it fun, it enables girls to improve their skills through one-on-one time with a qualified coach.

Physical solos, duos and graceful solos

While primarily a team sport, your child can compete in solo or duo routines with their friends.  Depending on your child's age and interest, they may take part in between 1 to 5 extra solo and duo events during the year.

Calisthenic skills program

Your child may choose to participate in the Australian Calisthenic Federation (ACF) Skills Program. The program is similar to the RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) ballet examination system and involves pupils demonstrating sound calisthenic technique for an examiner.

This is a short practical exam taken every 1 to 3 years, and only after pupils have been adequately prepared by coaching staff.  The complete range of the ACF Calisthenic Skill Syllabus videos are available to view on YouTube. Find more information the Calisthenic Association of Western Australia (CAWA) website about the Calisthenic Skills Program.

CAWA state team

Our college is proud to have developed members who represented Western Australia in the state team Sub-Junior, Junior and Intermediate sections.

In 2019 the ACF National Championships were held in Perth and our 2 junior team representatives and their teammates placed second overall.

All members are invited to attend state team workshops and can trial for the team. The trials are generally held in November. Find more information the CAWA website about the CAWA state team.

CAWA Frangipani Cup

This is an amazing opportunity for any members who haven't performed in the Calisthenic Association of WA state team to shine on a national stage. The Frangipani Cup is a competition held in September in Darwin, Northern Territory. In 2019, 4 of our members were selected to participate in the team and in 2021, 2 members tried out and were selected. Our Imperial representatives and their teammates placed first overall at both events. Find more information on the CAWA website about the Frangipani Team.
