INTERCHANGE OUTER EAST VISIT BRENTWOOD SC
At lunchtime, on Wednesday April 23, the Student Leadership team and Mr. Gekkas welcomed guest speakers, Paulo and Jenna, from Interchange Outer East.
They didn't wear their capes but represent a superhero organisation who provide programs and activities for people with disabilities.
They encouraged our students in the value of volunteering and community involvement as well as giving them an opportunity to do this through their organisation.
Many students expressed interest and hung around to speak to our guests after the challenging presentation.

Year 8 Tennis - Monash Division
On Monday 24th March the Year 8 tennis team played in the Monash Division Tennis Competition. The boys played some fabulous games. They were able to defeat Wheelers Hill and Wellington by a landslide, however, unfortunately, they lost to South Oakleigh, finishing second on the day.
The player’s all displayed great sportsmanship and resilience, cheering each other on and persevering through setbacks and challenges.
A highlight of the day was during the last game, our player A1 and A3 went up against South Oakleigh’s player A1 and A2. It was filled with anticipation and tension as it was the deciding match of which school would move on to EMR. Brentwood played with full of passion and fighting-spirit as they were already down 3 games and needed this win.
It lead to an unfortunate loss as the South Oakleigh outplayed Brentwood, yet, it was an exhilarating match that ended with happiness and laughter.
Congratulations to Beckett, Nirvan, Cooper, and Oliver for their excellent game-play and sportsmanship, representing Brentwood with pride.
Thank you for the players for coming to every training session and coming to the competition prepared and organised.
Last but not least, thank you for Mrs Burke for coming out and training and bringing us to today’s competition and we would not be here without your help.

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!
