Established for over 50 years, Kumon’s unique maths and English study programmes help children to excel academically, develop their capacity for learning independently and boost their all-round confidence.
On Friday 13 January, at an Advanced Student Roll (ASR) awards ceremony, 36 children from the Brigg Kumon Study Centre were honoured for their success and continued development studying on the Kumon maths and English programmes. The committed students were presented with awards at a ceremony which took place at St. Mary’s Catholic Church Hall on Barnard Avenue. The motivating ceremony was held to celebrate children mastering maths and English beyond their current school level and to inspire them to realise their unlimited potential. The awards were presented by Councillor Penny Smith and Councillor Alec Depledge of Brigg Town Council.
The audience were also treated to a performance by the John Turners Black Belt Academy. The performance included an impressive display of self-defence, weapons skills, board breaking and much more. The performers were aged between four and sixteen and included a number of Kumon students who enjoy both after-school activities.
The John Turners Black Belt Academy is located in Brigg, and has an Instruction Team with over 100 years' combined experience, and a Chief Instructor, Master J.A.Turner 6th Dan Black Belt, who is into his 4th decade of teaching experience.
The academy was keen to be involved in the event as they recognised a number of parallels between the martial arts discipline and the skills developed as a Kumon student. Both the martial arts students and the Kumon students work hard to master key skills and progress to a higher level. They also know they need to develop self-motivation, focus, confidence and value regular practice to experience improvement, all of which will prepare them for a lifetime of success.
Adam and Olivia El-Rakshy have been attending the Brigg Study Centre for six months. Following the event, their mum Tricia said: “We have enjoyed the ceremony evening. It was inspiring to Adam and Olivia to listen and watch the high achievers and how they work. It was also inspiring for the parents to see how with hard work and perseverance our children can achieve a lot.”
“Having JTBBA as part of the ceremony was a reminder of the ultimate control of body and mind. The JTBBA is the control of the body and the ultimate physical discipline and Kumon the ultimate mind discipline. This was a good mix of two powerful cultures based on hard work to achieve the maximum harmony between the body and mind. The award night gave the children a quest and a role model to follow.”
