GRAVITY ZONE RE-LAUNCHED
The latest craze is back in Seaford with the reopening of Gravity Zone having people jumping
for joy again.
With its re-opening after the fire in October, Gravity Zone
is now back in full swing - the 4200sqm centre packed
out with trampolining temptations for all the family after
the Oliphant Way factory was transformed into an airtime
addicts delight – complete with a kids zone, slam zone,
dodge zone, pro zone, foam zone and the largest freejumping trampoline area around.
Lauren Weeding, General Manager of Gravity Zone says
they are so grateful for all the community support during
the last few months.
“We are so excited to be open again and want to thank the
community for their support and patience as we rebuilt after
the fire,” says Lauren. “We have been overwhelmed by the
positive feedback already.”
Born from the trampolining wave that has hit America,
Gravity Zone features activity zones for everyone, from the
littlies right through to extreme sports fanatics.
Anyone can use the centre that boasts over 150
trampolines that provides an ideal venue for birthday
parties, family outings, school groups, sporting groups,
personal trainers or gymnasts.
Perfectly set up for full on full, Gravity Zone has six
party rooms and its cafe is a great place for mums to get
together while watching their little ones play in the fully
supervised kids zone.
Practice your slam dunks or dodge ball on the slam zone
or dodge zone and have hours of fun in the foam zone.
For the more advanced, the pro zone is the ticket with its
high performance trampolines featuring 1.8m and 2.1m
walls ensuring it’s perfectly safe to flip and somersault to
your heart’s content.
Come along to the adrenalin charged jumper sessions or
just be a relaxing spectator from the Re-Fuel Zone Cafe
that overlooks the entire layout.
Gravity Zone is also great for corporate team building
activities with a difference – it’s the all-weather adventure
all-rounder!

LEAP Into Education
Finally there’s a program for students to really help them
reach their academic potential and Dromana College has
jumped on board to offer the LEAP program in 2014.
LEAP stands for Learning Extension and Acceleration
Program, designed for students from disadvantaged
backgrounds to successfully participate in an advanced
program and demystify the links between school, higher
education and professional careers.
Students stay in the same group for two years where
an environment of high achievement is established and
maintained. The standard curriculum is accelerated and
subjects are explored in greater depth. In Year 9 and 10
each student will be on an individual timetable that caters
specifically to their strengths and abilities, this same timetable
will allow them to access all of the senior school subjects.
Students may subsequently choose to complete additional
VCE units, broadening the range of subjects they have
undertaken.
In Year 12 the students will have access to VCE extension
studies, which allows them to complete a university subject
as part of their VCE.
While students will need to have academic skills above those
of their age peer group, the LEAP program will not suit every
student who is just academically talented. Students will also
need to have a high level of maturity and commitment and
be capable of independent learning.
Students must sit an exam on August 2014, and, based on
these results, 25 students will then be offered a place in the
program in Year 7 at Dromana College.

LEAP Program please visit www.dsc.vic.edu.au
