Administration
We are now moving to a dedicated Martial Arts online software application / Phone App to run the academy. It is provided by EFC. This allows us interact with the parents more easily and any interaction with students is through this portal.
Location
The classes are currently run from Pendicup Community Centre, 365 Samsonvale Road, Warner, 4500.
This is a shared Morton Bay Regional Council (MBRC) Community Centre that we have been using for around ten years. All the classes are conducted from this centre at present. Due to the centre having a few rooms for hire we sometimes have to share the centre and its facilities with other groups. This however is occasional.
