Streatham & Clapham High School (SCHS) pupils and their coaches were invited to attend the London Prepares Series and act as award bearers, presenting medals and flowers to winners at the Victory Ceremony for gymnastics.
The SCHS pupils and coaches from Gemstones Gym Club were delighted to be chosen to attend this international qualifier event at the O2, part of the preparation and testing of venues for the 2012 Olympic Games. They were invited by London Schools’ Gymnastics in recognition of their outstanding achievements in gymnastics.
Gemstones provides a community hub for Streatham gymnastics and has a long association with SCHS. Their collaboration has resulted in the school’s impressive record in national gymnastics events.
SCHS has regularly represented London as Regional Champions at National Finals, placing 3rd in the U19 Acrobatics last year and qualifying to represent London again this year in the U13 Floor and Vault Finals and the U19 Carita House National Finals.
SCHS and Gemstones have also joined with Lambeth Sport to train and prepare local gymnasts for the London Youth Games.
