Sport in 2020

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, during 2019, some students did 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.

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 learned 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.

• Remember hats, sunscreen and fluids (Emphasize the importance of being safe in the sun!)
• There will be a sausage sizzle on the day with $2 sausages in bread and $2 water and soft drinks. All profits will go to the State Schools Relief Fund.
• Parents who would like to attend the carnival will need to complete a parent pass. These are available at the main office. They must be competed and returned to the main office by no later than Monday 10th February 3:30pm. If you do not have a pass you will not be allowed to enter the event.
