Our History
Janelle Calisthenics College has a long and successful history which dates back to 1970. We are a competitive class performing at local competitions and the Royal South Street Society (R.S.S.S.) Eisteddfod in Ballarat. Our principal, Mrs Jan Nolan, was a member of the renowned "Minerva Calisthenics College” (now Merinda CC) for several years and moving into coaching was a natural progression for her.
Jan commenced coaching in 1967 at the Regent Calisthenics College, Preston, before opening her own college in the growing municipality of Greensborough. Her career highlights include Victorian State Team Coach, numerous aggregates at local competitions, CVI and R.S.S.S. Ballarat. Jan has also been a well respected and experienced adjudicator receiving interstate invitations in addition to her adjudicating responsibilities in Victoria.
Jan is supported by a team of experienced and fully qualified Level One coaches, who all hold Level Two First Aid Certificates.
Over the years, Janelle Calisthenics College has produced many State Team participants, Calisthenics Coaches and Assistant Coaches in addition to several R.S.S.S Graceful Girl Finalists and Calisthenics Solo winners.
