WEST TEAMS REACH NATIONAL AEROBICS COMP 

Gladstone West State School students have another reason to boast that West is Best! Since the introduction of the Sports Aerobics program at the school this year, students have been enjoying taking up their new challenge.  

West School PE teacher and Aerobics team coach, Margaret-Mary Opstelten, affectionately known as Mrs O, said that Sports Aerobics offers a high-intensity dance and stunt performance in a team environment.  “Sport Aerobics doesn’t require any equipment – so it was very attractive to start up,” Mrs O said. “We also got great support from FISAF (governing body on Australia – Federation of International Sport Aerobics and Fitness) with National development officers visiting the Gladstone region to promote the benefits of the sport. “
