Intermediate Girls Netball – EMR

On Friday 9th August our Intermediate netball team went to Waverley Netball Centre for a jam-packed day of netball.

We had a hard game up first against Rowville SC, starting off strong and winning the second quarter, before they ran away with the win 13-27.

Our second match was against Blackburn SC and with a very strong first half (13-3) we were able to keep them at bay winning 20 – 12.

Our third match was against another strong team, Ringwood SC, and with a great first quarter effort (13-1) we were able to take the win 27 – 12.

The two wins put us into 2nd place in the pool, which meant that we had made the semi-finals, it also meant that we had to play the top team in the other pool which was Vermont SC. Vermont had some very strong players, we started off really well, but unfortunately our 2nd quarter let us down, we won the 2nd half but were not able to come away with the win going down 15 – 21.

The girls represented our school very well and displayed amazing sportsmanship throughout the matches, they should be very proud of the way they played and hold their heads up high. Congratulations girls.

A big thank you to our student coaches – Zara Hamilton-Watt, Mia Vaccaro and Sidney Oliver for all your help in the lead up to the competition and on the day.

Senior Girls Netball – EMR

On Friday 9th August the senior girl’s netball team participated in the Eastern Metropolitan Region round robin netball tournament.

We played three pool matches winning against Blackburn HS and Norwood SC and going down to Rowville SC. This secured us a spot in the semi finals v Doncaster SC where we narrowly lost the match.

The students representing Brentwood were absolute role models for the intermediate girls who were also playing on the same day. The players demonstrated equity and respect to their opponents, they listened to the umpires and played with enthusiasm. It was a privilege to coach and manage the team.

Congratulations to the following semi finalist players: Zara Hamilton-Watt, Mackezie Eitzen, Claire Paterson, Kaitlyn Grunow, Sharmitha Kantheepan, Esther Mechielsen, Aisha Woon, Jessica Powell and Grace Cunningham.

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

Missing Sport Tops

We have completed a stock take on our sporting equipment and uniforms after one term of sport and have noticed that we are missing a few numbered sports tops. We lend these tops out to our students to wear for Interschool Sport and they are to be returned at the end of the day. We are requesting parents/carers to search drawers and cupboards to make sure they have not been accidently taken home and stored away.

This message has also been passed onto all the students via Teams.

If you do find a top at home, can you please send them back to the school and return them to the PE office.

Thank you.

Brentwood School Sports

Brentwood competes in the School Sport Victoria (SSV) program. We are a successful school due to the commitment of students and staff to the program.

Staff volunteer their time to provide opportunities to the students to get involved.

Students can learn new skills, develop tactical thinking within a competitive environment, meet new friends, build rapport with staff outside the classroom, demonstrate leadership skills through student coaching, display good sportsmanship no matter what the outcome, and most of all students can grow as a person.

Brentwood look the part when we go out to compete. When we arrive at a competition, other schools know exactly who we are; as we arrive as a team and we look like a team. Students wear our sports uniform with pride.

We have a strict uniform policy. If you are part of a Brentwood team you look like a Brentwood student. We wear our sport uniform: Brentwood polo, Brentwood navy shorts, Brentwood navy track pants, Brentwood rugby jumper, Brentwood jacket, Brentwood hat, white socks, and appropriate footwear. We do not wear casual clothing or other teams clothing. We represent Brentwood.

We enter teams into all SSV competitions and compete within the Monash Division.

Our local competition come from Wheelers Hill Secondary College, South Oakleigh College, Wellington Secondary College and John Monash Science School.

Winning teams then progress to the Eastern Metropolitan Region (EMR) round robin competitions, and successful teams from EMR compete at the SSV State Championships.

Communication is via the Compass portal. Consent and payment for events must be completed via compass. Consent must be finalized by 11.59pm two school days prior to the event/excursion. If a student does not have consent and payment is not complete before this time, they will not be permitted to attend. Unfortunately, some students do miss out.

We also like to celebrate student sporting achievement. We would love to hear about your child’s super special milestones and achievements in their chosen sport. A quick email is all that it takes : sports@ms.brentwood.vic.edu.au

I do hope that you encourage your child to try a new sport through the many opportunities at Brentwood to get involved. Even if they do not make a team, they have learnt new skills and developed abilities during the selection trials and trainings.

We also love to have supportive parents attend sporting events.

So feel free to come along and cheer on Brentwood throughout the year.

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.
