The Year 7 Cricket team had an awesome day of cricket at Wheelers Hill Secondary College oval with success in both matches to secure a trip to EMR on the 31st of October. When we arrived at the ground, we did a little warm up before watching the first game as we had a BYE.
The boys played well in their first game against the main competition of South Oakleigh. It was basically if South Oakleigh won then they would go through, but if we won, then we just had to win the next game against Wheelers Hill.
In the end the boys won comfortably with the co-captains Aayan Surani and Krishiv Gupta opening the batting to help us score about 70 runs in 8 overs.
Then all bowlers bowled well as we defeated South Oakleigh. In the next game against Wheelers Hill the boys managed to take a lot of wickets for not many runs and then scored lots of runs to easily win and book their spot in EMR.
Congratulations on a great day out and we look forward to some more cricket success in October this year.

Year 8 Girls Softball
Late last term, a wonderful group of year 8’s represented Brentwood at the Monash Division junior softball round robin day. We were the only school to put in a year 8 team which meant we are straight through to the EMR competition later this year. To ensure we had match experience and we developed as a team, we played the year 7 teams that were entered.
Our first match against Wheelers Hill SC was a success with all players scoring home runs. We experimented with the fielding positions, pitchers and catchers. Brentwood won this 20-8.
Our second and final match was against our very own year 7 team. Again, each of our players scored home runs and our fielding really improved between our first and second match. It was a very close match over the three innings, and we ended up tying the match 15-15. Probably the best result for Brentwood!

Missing Sport Tops
We have completed a stocktake on our sporting equipment and uniforms after one term of sport and have noticed that we are missing a few numbered sports tops. We lend these tops out to our students to wear for Interschool Sport and they are to be returned at the end of the day. We are requesting parents/carers to search drawers and cupboards to make sure they have not been accidently taken home and stored away.
This message has also been passed onto all the students via Teams.
If you do find a top at home, can you please send them back to the school and return them to the PE office.
Thank you.

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.
