The ACF Calisthenics Skills Program in Victoria
once again had many highlights to celebrate in 2018 -
our members certainly ‘raised the barre’ in relation to
their achievements.
Over 1700 - the highest number of entries ever!
Congratulations every candidate who presented, and
to the coaches who invested their time and expertise
in their training.
34 candidates from clubs across the divisional
spectrum gained Grade 4 Honours or Honours with
Distinction.
There were 32 successful medallists - Bronze, Silver,
Gold, and Gold Honours. The second year in
succession that five young ladies have achieved Gold
Medal Honours. This is the highest number ever!
On stage presentations to Grade 4 Honours achievers
and medallists at CV State Teams Championships
continues to be a highlight.
Many people contributed to the successful
administration of the Calisthenics Skills program
within our State in 2018, and each person is highly
valued for their time and expertise. Hopefully this
continues in 2019.
Our Sub-committee is supported by Helen Barclay -
Registrar, Lorraine Duff – Assistant Administrator;
with extra help from Caroline Smith, Melissa Tully,
Trish McLeod, Leanne Collins, Kerry Miles and
Iolanda Marinov at critical times. The diligence of
the many Supervisors who host exam venues is also
greatly appreciated.
Thank you to Calisthenics Victoria Board and
CEO, office staff, Competition Committee and the
VCCA, for their on-going assistance to the ACF
Calisthenics program in Victoria.
Best wishes to all Victorian members for the
remainder of 2019.
We’ll continue to hold two annual exam periods
plus the March medals. Dates as follows.
May June – now complete for 2019
November December 2019 – on-line
registrations will be advised.
March Medals 2020 – to be scheduled.

ANGELINE CRAY
Throughout my years of calisthenics, and participating in the ACF
Skills Program, completing the Medals Syllabus (especially Gold),
has been a favourite challenge of mine during this journey. It has
helped me improve significantly through nearly every aspect of
being a Calisthenics performer, solely focusing on my technique
and ability as an individual.
Although it is not compulsory to complete the Medal Program, it
was important to me that I continue to develop my skills, face new
challenges and try to complete the entire ACF Skills Program.
In doing so, after years of hard work, dedication and support, I
received outstanding results that my 4-year-old self could only
have dreamt of!!!
I would like to thank my family and husband for their ongoing
encouragement, support and endless belief in me. I would like to
thank Jeanne and Kirrilly for nurturing me as a performer, and my
lovely team mates for making class each week something to really
look forward to. I would like to thank my very talented coach
Lucinda Williams for being such a huge inspiration and for
helping me reach such a highly respected achievement.
Last but not least I would like to thank ACF and all those involved in the Program’s administration in helping make this experience possible.

CHARLOTTE LORD Completing my Gold Medal with Honours is something I am most proud of. I feel extremely privileged to share the honour with my coach Lucinda, many of my friends, team mates, and all of the other recipients. In my 20 years of calisthenics, this is one of the most challenging and rewarding achievements I have completed. I would like to thank Jeanne, Lucinda and Kirrilly Wootton for being incredible role models throughout my entire calisthenics career. In particular to Lucinda, for her guidance and support from when I started my levels journey in Grade 1, all the way to the Gold Medal Honours. A huge thank you to Julie Fox, together with everyone who’s involved with the medal administration, for their commitment to this amazing program that gives calisthenics girls the opportunity
to complete. As an Examiner, Julie Fox has always made me feel at ease whilst I was performing. I can’t express enough how fulfilling and advantageous the whole medal experience has been for me - not only in my calisthenics career but flowing to my life outside of calisthenics.

JESSICA HARDING
I began at Merinda Calisthenics College when I
was 3, and always loved calisthenics because it
was a team sport. Over time I have been a part
of State Teams, Amazing Grace and completed
all my levels to Gold Medal.
When it came to solos, I had a lot of ups and
downs. I completed 4 years of solos and 2 years
of duos during my 18 years of calisthenics; and
thought I wouldn’t be able to complete Gold
Medal Honours as it meant performing by my-
self.
Together with motivation from my mother, Sue
Harding (also a Gold Medallist) and coach, Me-
gan Roughana (GMH in 2012), I was able to
complete this amazing program. I am forever
grateful to the both of them.
Calisthenics has been a part of my whole life, and to achieve Gold Medal Honours is my greatest personal achievement.

CHELSEA
TRESEDER
Receiving my gold medal with honours
was an ‘absolute dream come true’. I
had my doubts about whether I would
be able to achieve this, but with a lot of
hard work, support and determination
this all became possible.
I started my calisthenics journey a long
time ago and needless to say it is now
my way of life. It gives me so much joy
to be able to perform and achieve. The
medals program is an excellent way to
extend oneself, to perform and continue
your calisthenics journey and love of our
wonderful sport. I recommend it to
everyone.
A big ‘thank you’ to all who came and
supported me at my on-stage GMH
presentation - coaches past and present,
team mates, students and friends. It was
lovely to have this support from all parts
of the calisthenics community and I felt
very special.
To my coach Megan Roughana - thank
you for believing in me and pushing me
to be my best. We put so much time,
effort, blood, sweat and tears into this
journey and I can’t thank you enough
for the support and encouragement. To
look back when I achieved my Bronze
Medal to now, is incredible and there is
no way I could have done it without
you. Your dedication, passion and
attention to detail are amazing and I am
so grateful to have had you by my side.
And last but not least to my mum, I
can’t thank you enough for all you do for
me and I love that calisthenics is some-
thing we share and do together.

MADDISON SMITH 16 years ago I walked into my first
class at Emmanuel where I met my
coach for that year, Sarah Carthew.
I had been told that she’d attained
her Gold Medal with Honours, the
highest achievement in Calisthenics.
I can still remember thinking that
she must know absolutely
EVERYTHING about calisthenics.
Never in a million years did I expect
to be standing up on stage 16 years
later receiving my Gold Medal
Honours with Sarah by my side, as
my coach. I’m so grateful for every
opportunity she has given me - her
inspiration and encouragement over
the years. I could never have got
here without her!
I’d like to say a huge thank you to
my parents who have spent
countless hours (and money)
driving me to and from classes,
sewing costumes and allowing me
to do what I love! I am excited now
to pass on my knowledge and
passion to the next generation of
calisthenics girls and have the same
impact on others that many of my
coaches have had on me.

My medals journey started in the ACT in 2010 when I decided I needed a challenge. By 2013, I
was the first ACT candidate to receive Gold Medal, although the title of Honours remained
elusive. After a few years, I still wanted to improve, so
in the 2017 ACT skills exam period I redid my Gold Medal exam, under the new syllabus, and this time I qualified to perform for honours!
I moved to Victoria in 2018 for my studies, where I was lucky enough to be welcomed into
the Jeaden Calisthenics College family. It was
here that I prepared for my Honours performances with Lucinda as my guide. I was
privileged to present at the ACF Nationals and I finally achieved my goal!
There really is no other experience quite like the medals program. I have improved so much and
grown as a person throughout this journey. I would like to thank my family for their support, Jenny Godber for believing in me, and Lucinda,
Kirrilly and Jeanne for their help throughout round 2 of Gold Medal.
We also recognise Rebecca Reber
Gold Medal Honours recipient in 2018 who now resides
in Victoria
