Jump Jam

JUNIOR SCHOOL Jump Jam

Jump Jam is incredibly popular in our Junior School, with girls from all ages welcome. This year was especially interesting as we kept the momentum for Jump Jam going online through lockdown.

This year our Years 4 – 6 Jump Jam team, ‘Beauties and the Beat’, qualified for the top category in the national competition. They performed a routine to the song ‘You Can’t Stop the Beat’ from the Hairspray musical. On Saturday 21 November the team travelled to Tauranga to compete against the best Jump Jam teams from around the country. They performed exceptionally well and placed third in the Xtreme category, a huge achievement, especially for a first-time school in this division. The team received the following awards, Distinction in Technical Execution, Distinction in Presentation, Excellence in Creativity, Excellence in Costumes and Excellence in Sportsmanship. The sportsmanship award recognises schools who positively interact with the other teams and Jump Jam staff and volunteers. We are so proud of how the girls represented St Cuthbert’s. This is an exceptional result especially given the strange year we have had and all the disruptions to training. The girls showed great dedication and commitment during lockdown by arranging Zoom practices online and their hard work certainly paid off!
