SENIOR BOYS VOLLEYBALL REPORT

Both A and B teams had some cracking games, tense third tiebreaks and combined together for a great day. Boys conducted themselves admirably, played in great sportsmanship and were a pleasure to coach.

A team highlights were many but included leading Volleyball powerhouse Wellington and causing them to "call their first timeout in 5 years," as one player said!

B team's only losses were 3 set "nail biters."

Specific highlights and individual player "shout outs" included:

A team 1 win, 3 losses, lead by inspirational captain Jonathon Lagaaia, MVP was Peter Le for his super skills and Best Team Player was Sam Bower for bringing the energy!

B team 2 wins and 2 losses and Lawrence Zhang was a great leader as Captain with MVP being Jason Chen who barely missed a dig or set all day.

Best Team Player was Shreyaj Guha who definitely lifted team morale!

Thanks to Kaif Sura and Omar Rahami for assisting with coaching and equipment duties.

YEAR 11 PE LAWN BOWLS GAMES

On the 6th and 11th of February, both warm sunny days, Mr. Fox, then Mrs. Cain's year 11 PE class, walked to the Glen Waverley Lawn Bowls Club "for a roll."

The club volunteers were very helpful, fun and passionate about their sport delivering many tips to the students as well as trying to recruit a few younger club members from our school.

Classes were investigating different types of physical activity and exercise guidelines for different age groups. Competition was fierce as teams battled the "bias of their bowls" to get closest to the jack as possible! Unfortunately the gutter was the destination for a few bowls also. Students conducted themselves admirably, competed in great spirit and are to be commended for being positive ambassadors for the school.

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!
