Year 7 Boys Table Tennis – EMR Tournament

On Friday 17th October, the Year 7 Boys Table Tennis team represented Brentwood Secondary College at the Eastern Metropolitan Region (EMR) Tournament. The boys competed with great spirit and determination against some tough opposition throughout the day.

In the opening match, the team faced East Doncaster Secondary College, who went on to win the tournament, and were defeated 0–6. The boys quickly bounced back with an impressive 5–1 victory over Ringwood Secondary College. Their final match against Balwyn Secondary College was a nail-biter, finishing 3–3 and coming down to games, where Brentwood narrowly missed out 11–10.

Throughout the day, the team displayed exceptional sportsmanship, teamwork, and a strong passion for the game. A special thank you goes to Lucas and Jeffery, our dedicated Year 9 student coaches, who provided valuable guidance and training in the lead-up to the competition.

Well done to all the players for their enthusiasm and effort in representing Brentwood with pride!

Team members: Ruichen Xie, Austin Ma, Ishaan Bhattacharya, Amav Koushik and Ken Zhang.

Year 9 Lifelong Sport Excursion – Pickleball and Lawn Bowls

As part of our Lifelong Sport unit, the Year 9 cohort enjoyed an exciting excursion to the Glen Waverley Bowls Club, where students had the opportunity to learn and play both pickleball and lawn bowls.

Under the guidance of enthusiastic club volunteers, students were introduced to the rules, techniques and strategies of each game. Many discovered new skills and a genuine enjoyment for sports that can be played and appreciated well beyond their school years.

It was a beautiful sunny day, and the students made the most of it—showing great teamwork, sportsmanship and a willingness to try something new. Their exemplary behaviour and respect for the community made the day a success and a fantastic representation of Brentwood’s values.

Overall, the excursion was a fun, active, and memorable experience that highlighted the importance of staying active for life!

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!

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!
