ABOUT US

Julie came from a dancing background and after a number of years in physie became assistant teacher. In 1999 Julie commenced teaching the Club on her own, with Justine assisting with preschoolers and the senior girls from 2003, when work commitments allowed.

In 2007 Julie retired from teaching the Club and Justine became the new and most successful teacher the club has had. Justine is a very experienced physie person, having won numerous North Coast Titles and represented at Nationals, since the age of eight.

In 2011 we were the most successful club at the Far North Coast Zone Championships in the Teams Sections winning 5 of the 6 sections we had entered. Justine thoroughly enjoys the challenge and has had great success in Individuals and Teams, both at Zone and National level.

Grafton is very much a family orientated Club, with mums and daughters and grandmothers, able to enjoy the fun and exercise together.
