YEAR 9 DUKE OF ED CLASS SERVE AT BRENTWOOD PRE SCHOOL

As voluntary, and community service are pillars of the Duke of Edinburgh award, our Bronze classes are visiting and helping out at Brentwood Pre School this year. The first visit was with Mrs. Bradley's class and our students admirably played with the kids there and supported them in their learning.

Feedback from Tanya, the Kindergarten Director, was positive and our students are to be commended about their conduct, positive representation of the College and fun and games they provided to the kinder children!

YEAR 11 PE PARKRUN EVENT

Year 11 PE classes replicated the weekend worldwide running event, Parkrun, at White Lanes Reserve on Thursday and Friday September 11 and 12 with a 3.3km race followed by some modified ultimate frisbee games afterwards.

Classes are investigating the roles of the cardiovascular and respiratory system whilst exercising. Hazem Ali was the athlete with the most endurance in both classes, with Ryan Titheridge closely behind.

Students are commended on having "a fair dinkum crack" and are encouraged to maintain regular aerobic physical activity in their lifestyle.

Boys Intermediate Table Tennis

The Boys Intermediate Table Tennis teams represented Brentwood Secondary College at the Monash Division competition.

The Brentwood SC A team performed strongly, winning three matches against Wellington A, Wellington B, and John Monash B, and only going down to John Monash Science School A, who were the overall winners on the day. The Brentwood SC B team showed great persistence, managing to win two rubbers but unfortunately losing all of their games.

The boys were coached by Lisa and Ken, who did an amazing job in the weekly training sessions, providing valuable tips to improve technique and organising both singles and doubles practice. On the day of competition, the boys also assisted with umpiring and scoring each other’s matches. They played with determination and were highly competitive across all their games, showing great sportsmanship throughout the event.

Intermediate Girls Table Tennis

Congratulations to our Intermediate Girls who represented Brentwood at the Monash Division competition! The team smashed out some epic rallies and scored great wins in singles and doubles. If we’d had just ONE more player, it would’ve been game, set, match and straight through to Regionals! Big shout-out to superstar student coach Ashwin Gururaj for his training, scoring and endless encouragement on the day.

Team members: Melanie Dew, Charlene Sam, Emilie Yap

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,

Meg Wrench Joseph

Head of Health and Physical Education

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.

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!
