INTERMEDIATE BOYS NETBALL REPORT
Monday 5th May was the intermediate and senior boys netball Monash Division tournament day. I co coached our intermediate A and B teams. I say co coached as we had Hannah S from year 11 and Mattea B, Emma M and Elli R assist with training, refed practise matches and did a great job on the day itself with positions, warmups and advice to players. Thanks heaps girls!
Our A team won 2, lost 2 and finished the day with a thrilling come from behind win in the last game. They trailed 2 - 4 at halftime to come back and win 7-5.
MVP's were David C and Zac C and Best Team Players / Coaches award went to Thenuja F and Nicholas G.
Our B team had a couple of close losses, "lesson losses," and a solitary win for the day. Their commitment to keep competing and combine well as a team was to be commended. MVP was Dev S and Noah D with Coaches awards going to Alistair H and Zaid R.
I wish the players and coaches all the best on and off the court for the rest of the year!

11 PE CLASSES GET ACTIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY
On May 1st, both year 11 PE classes ventured out to Brandon Park Reserve for a practical session with a difference. Our class themes have been exploring our local suburb offerings for physical activity. Classes enjoyed great weather and the fun, fitness and friendship that was had.
Classes jogged to the venue, completed a boot camp type fitness bingo exercise, played a modified endzone vortex game and finished with some yoga and stretching.
Our corny subject chant was sung out across the streets and reserve:
"WHO ARE, WHO ARE, WHO ARE WE? WE ARE THE MOB FROM BSC. FIT AND FIRING WE WILL BE, MIGHTY MIGHTY TEAM - 11PE!"

DUKE OF ED BRONZE ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY PREPARATION AND TRAINING
The grassy knoll was a great spot on a sunny day to practise pitching a tent for one of our Duke of Ed Bronze classes on Thursday the 29th April. We look forward to our adventurous journey and in pairs students had a go at putting up a mystery tent, some of which were a challenge.
Communication skills, teamwork and problem-solving skills were all needed as they will be later in the year when we head outdoors.

MONASH DIVISION NETBALL COMPETITION
On Monday the 5th of May, the year 8 boys Netball teams participated in the Monash Division Netball Competition. The boys had an amazing day, coming home with many wins and few losses. This experience helped our students showcase their skills, teamwork and passion for netball in a competitive environment.
Both teams played with energy, spirit and sportsmanship throughout the day.
Brentwood’s A team consisted of Jagger, Adam, Ryker, Samuel, Anthony, Liang Wei, Ragesh, Aarav and Alfie. They were coached by Amani and Sienna. All the boys played great, resulting in two smashing wins and a draw, that had everyone on the edge of their seats!
The result came down to the wire with scores for and against calculated. The team walked away with a narrow win and will go on to represent Monash in the Easter Metropolitan Region tournament.
Brentwood’s B team consisted of Aarav, Aayan, Dawood, Krishiv, Louis, Shahil and Jamieson. They were coached by Angus and Jordan. They were filled with determination and enthusiasm, showing great improvement across each game and brought awesome energy to the courts.
The day was filled with highlights, close games and plenty of cheering. It was great to see our Brentwood students supporting each other and enjoying the experience, win or lose. Our B team played in the A division for the day, they came in third, beating Oakleigh SC and Wellington C.
Well done to all competitors.
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!
