Year 7 Boys EMR Cricket
A huge congratulations to the Year 7 Boys Cricket Team for their fantastic efforts at the recent Eastern Metropolitan Region finals! The team played two exciting matches on the day, showing incredible determination and sportsmanship throughout.
In their first match, the boys faced Rowville Sporting Academy, and although the result didn’t go in their favour, they played with great heart and skill. In their second match against Lilydale Secondary College, the team bounced back with a well-deserved victory, showcasing their resilience and teamwork.
The day was filled with plenty of exciting cricket action, and the boys’ positive attitude and sportsmanship shone through, making it an enjoyable and memorable experience for all involved. Well done to all players for their commitment and effort, and a big thank you to our student coach, Patrick Chalmers, and to the supporters who cheered the team on throughout the day.

Congratulations to the Year 8 Girls Softball Team!
The team recently showcased their hard work and determination at the EMR tournament held at Gilbert Park, Knoxfield. After winning the Monash Division competition in Term 1, the girls have continued to impress, securing their place in the EMR tournament by topping their pool with victories over Koonung SC (12-11) and Ringwood SC (21-9).
In the grand final, the girls went up against a strong Balwyn team. Both teams played hard, with solid hits and fast base running. While a couple of misfields allowed Balwyn to pull ahead, our girls held their heads high, giving their best effort throughout the match. Despite the tough competition, they finished as EMR Runners-Up — an incredible achievement!
As a result of their performance, our Year 8 girls have been invited to compete at the SSV State finals. This is a testament to the strength and skill of our team, and we wish them the best of luck as they prepare for this exciting next step!
Congratulations again to the entire team, and good luck at the State finals!
Team Members – Sophie Annett, Chloe Cai, Libby Chew, Mia Denney, Sierra Gibb-Derkacz (injured), Snigdha Pegallapati, Finley Rowe, Madison Rowe (injured), Eleanor Scheppokat, Emily Thompson, Kayla Tran, Hailey Waga.

3x3 Basketball Friendly Competition: A Slam Dunk for Year 7-9 Teams!
The recent 3x3 basketball friendly competition on the Monash Division Gala Day was a resounding success, bringing together Year 7-9 teams from South Oakleigh Secondary College, Brentwood Secondary College, Wheelers Hill Secondary College and Wellington Secondary College. The event provided a fantastic opportunity for students to showcase their skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
With full participation from all schools, the competition was a vibrant celebration of basketball, with teams battling it out on the court in high-energy matches. The fast-paced 3x3 format kept everyone on their toes, while the students' enthusiasm and sportsmanship were on full display throughout the day. It was evident that everyone—players, teachers, and student referees—had a great time, enjoying the camaraderie and competitive spirit.
A big thank you to all the participating teams for their positive attitude and teamwork, and to the 2 student referees from Brentwood for their efforts across the day.
We look forward to more exciting events like this in the future!

PE Footwear Reminder
Dear Parents and Guardians,
This is a reminder that students should be wearing appropriate footwear to PE classes. Students should be wearing sports runners with adequate grip on the bottom of their shoes. PE classes are completed on a wide range of surfaces including, but not limited to, gym floor, asphalt and grass, also in a variety of weather conditions.
Shoes should be worn that allow students to participate safely across all terrain. PE staff make decisions on a daily basis, whether it is safe to complete classes, students need to wear shoes that are appropriate for all scenarios. If shoes are deemed inappropriate, students may be unable to participate. Students should not be wearing street or lifestyle runners to class as these shoes do not provide adequate grip and support.
Please see below images for shoes that are appropriate for PE classes and those that are not appropriate for PE classes.
Kind regards,

Competition Sports Uniform
With interschool sport competitions, some teams must wear sports tops with numbers and special-coloured sports socks. Brentwood provides these tops and socks. However, sometimes students wear these tops/socks home instead of handing them back to the teacher in charge at the end of the day. So, as you spring clean or change your bedroom layout during the term break, keep an eye out for any missing Brentwood Sport Specialised team uniforms. So, drop them off to the main office or the PE staffroom when you return. No questions asked!
We are hoping for Brentwood AFL jumpers, Soccer/Hockey/Volleyball/Basketball numbered tops, and navy long socks to be found and returned!

Brentwood School Sports
Brentwood competes in the School Sport Victoria (SSV) program. We are a successful school due to the commitment of students and staff to the program.
Staff volunteer their time to provide opportunities to the students to get involved.
Students can learn new skills, develop tactical thinking within a competitive environment, meet new friends, build rapport with staff outside the classroom, demonstrate leadership skills through student coaching, display good sportsmanship no matter what the outcome, and most of all students can grow as a person.
Brentwood look the part when we go out to compete. When we arrive at a competition, other schools know exactly who we are; as we arrive as a team and we look like a team. Students wear our sports uniform with pride.
We have a strict uniform policy. If you are part of a Brentwood team you look like a Brentwood student. We wear our sport uniform: Brentwood polo, Brentwood navy shorts, Brentwood navy track pants, Brentwood rugby jumper, Brentwood jacket, Brentwood hat, white socks, and appropriate footwear. We do not wear casual clothing or other teams clothing. We represent Brentwood.
We enter teams into all SSV competitions and compete within the Monash Division.
Our local competition come from Wheelers Hill Secondary College, South Oakleigh College, Wellington Secondary College and John Monash Science School.
Winning teams then progress to the Eastern Metropolitan Region (EMR) round robin competitions, and successful teams from EMR compete at the SSV State Championships.
Communication is via the Compass portal. Consent and payment for events must be completed via compass. Consent must be finalized by 11.59pm two school days prior to the event/excursion. If a student does not have consent and payment is not complete before this time, they will not be permitted to attend. Unfortunately, some students do miss out.
We also like to celebrate student sporting achievement. We would love to hear about your child’s super special milestones and achievements in their chosen sport. A quick email is all that it takes : sports@ms.brentwood.vic.edu.au
I do hope that you encourage your child to try a new sport through the many opportunities at Brentwood to get involved. Even if they do not make a team, they have learnt new skills and developed abilities during the selection trials and trainings.
We also love to have supportive parents attend sporting events.
So feel free to come along and cheer on Brentwood throughout the year.

PE uniform reminders:
Below are some PE uniform reminders:
- Years 7 – 9 may wear their PE uniform all day on days in which they have PE. This is made known to students by having GYM1, GYM2, GYM3 etc. for their “room” location. On days where students have Health, they are required to be in their academic uniform.
- Year 10 students may only wear PE uniform if they are completing either PE elective (Enhanced PE or Sports Science) on the days their teacher has selected for them to complete their practical classes for the week. Students will be given uniform pass cards from their teacher which will list what days these practical classes are on. Students are to carry these card at all times. If a student is in PE uniform on a day that a practical class is not on or cannot present their card then they will receive a uniform chronicle.
- Year 11 and 12 students are to change into and out of their PE uniforms for periods that they have a practical class. If students have PE in period 1 they are allowed to come to school in their PE uniform and will change at the end of this period. If students have PE in period 5 they will need to change at lunch time and are permitted to leave school in their PE uniforms. If students have practical classes in period 2, 3 or 4 then they must be changing in and out of their uniforms during that classtime. If a year 11 or year 12 student comes to class in their PE uniform and they do not have a practical class in that period then they will receive a uniform chronicle.
