Master Coullie commented: Overall, students enjoyed it, we gave out some fliers for local clubs and there seemed to be a lot of interest. It was a good, productive day and were hoping to see some new club members from it. Matt Boucher, Assistant Head Teacher of the school said: The whole day was really fun and energetic and the taekwondo sessions really complimented the range of sports we arranged as part of our sports day. The coaching team all worked extremely hard throughout the day to enthuse, excite and develop our students through taekwondo. We would welcome the chance to work with British Taekwondo again and will seek opportunities to do so.
