Year 7 Girls Table Tennis SSV State Finals

Congratulations to our Year 7 table tennis team, Nanami H, Adhya K, Avani S, Meg SJ and Chloe V who represented Brentwood at the SSV State table tennis finals. They had an outstanding day of competition, showcasing skill, determination and excellent sportsmanship throughout the State Finals. 

Round 1 was played against Bendigo South East College. Our Brentwood crew made a strong start to the day, with Brentwood winning all 6 rubbers, dropping only 4 sets in total. Round 2 against Cathedral College Wangaratta was a tough contest where our team went down 4-2 in rubbers and 14-9 in games. A special highlight came from Avani, who won one of her matches 11- 0 which was an incredible achievement! Round 3 we played against Mernda Hills Christian College, Brentwood bounced back from their earlier loss with a comfortable and confident win to finish the pool rounds strongly in second position. 

The finals allowed a crossover with 1st and second playing from each pool so in the Semi-Final, we met Balwyn High School. In a rematch of the EMR final, the team turned the tables with a convincing victory, winning 3 of the 4 singles matches and both doubles matches. It was a great success for the rivalry! The win also lead our team to the Grand Final where we had an opportunity of another rematch of the pool game we lost against Cathedral College.The final was an absolute nail-biter for the entire game. Both schools finished equal on rubbers, but Cathedral edged ahead 10 sets to 9, leaving Brentwood as the State Finalist Runners-Up. It was a phenomenal achievement.

We would like to wish a huge congratulations to the Year 7 table tennis team! Finishing as state runners-up is an outstanding result, and the entire Brentwood community is incredibly proud of your effort, teamwork, and resilience, especially in bouncing back against some of the schools we had already faced! 

Also a big thank you to our student coaches Roger D and Melanie D who were an integral part of the team success and assisted in training throughout the year, coaching during matches as well as officiating during matches.

On October 28th both year 11 classes visited South East Melbourne Phoenix for training, chat with head coach Josh King and tour of their facilites.  It was a great opportunity and day to watch them close up in action after we hired courts and had our own basketball 3 on 3 comp and shooting competition.  

YEAR 8 GIRLS TENNIS EMR SUPER EFFORTS

The girls defeated East Doncaster and Mooroolbark but lost to Balwyn in straight sets to finish a commendable, 2nd in our pool and equal 3rd / 4th overall out of 8 schools.  The team were a pleasure to coach, conducted themselves well and enjoyed the well earned soft serve cone and playground visit on the way home!  Alena Chew, Hana Gellatly, Myra Kajah, Saumya Manivannan and Diya Singla the super sub emergency were the all star team.  Congratulations on your achievements girls and I wish you all the best on and off the court in future.

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,

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!
