Head of Sport Report

Thank you to all those students who made a good commitment to their winter sports. I am looking forward to the same for the summer season. 

Summer sport teams have now been selected, and training will commence in Week 9. All players are reminded to wear BMGS gear to training and to arrive on time. Our coaches generously give their time, often coming straight from their own jobs so I ask that all players show respect and appreciation by being punctual and prepared. 

The ISA summer competition commences on the 25th October with 6 rounds in Term 4 and 4 rounds in Term 1 leading up to semi-finals. 

PLEASE NOTE 

Round 7 of the Summer ISA competition will be held on Saturday 31st January. This is the Saturday prior to school commencing on the Monday. Training will take place as usual in the week prior to the 31st January. Please mark this in your calendar so that you remember that this is a compulsory game day and training week. 

Congratulations 

The Hockey and Netball presentation evenings were held last week. Congratulations to the following students who received recognition for their contributions over the Winter season.

Summer Sport Trials 

 All summer teams have now been selected and these are listed on the Sports noticeboard outside the Head of Sport office. 

Please ensure, if you played last season that your uniform fits you correctly. ALL players are required to go to the Uniform Shop and confirm the number from their singlet – this is compulsory as we need to ensure that we do not have any double-ups in our teams. 

Those students who are newly selected to the Firsts in their sport will need to order a new singlet. 

All those who need a uniform you must have this ordered by Tuesday 16th September.  

House Sport 

House sport will be run on the last day of term. Please watch Schoolbox and your emails for further information regarding this event. 

Tennis 

All those selected to play tennis this season have been advised via email and Schoolbox. 

For summer this year tennis will be run on a Thursday and Friday due to the courts being resurfaced and availability for Term 1 2026. Students need to be available for both days each week. The timetable is as follows: 

Thursday and Fridays  

3:30-4:30pm x 5 weeks equals 10 sessions 

Week 1 30/31st October 

Week 2 6/7th November 

Week 3 13/14th November
