Badminton Competition 2023

During term 4 of 2024 students at Brentwood signed up to play against one another in an in-house badminton tournament. There were three tiers of competition for this year: Beginner (having played less than 2 years), Intermediate (students who were confident about their skills but do not train at club level) and Advanced (students who have trained at club level and above, most are in the A team).

The competition had a round robin format where students would compete with one another for points. Once the students had played through the round robin, then a finals round occurred. Two teachers, Mr Lim and Mr Li, joined in on the competition and Mr Lim in particular was first in the round robin! (prizes were for students only so teachers did not participate in the finals round)

There were some close games in the finals – the beginner competition had one game that was ending at 15 points, but due to deuce in points lasted until 21-19; both sets of third place winner games and winner games of the advanced round had a 2 point difference as the final score. A congratulations to everyone that has joined in and we will see you again for next year!

Reminder - Footwear for PE Classes

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This is a friendly 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
