Hi all,

Our first Friendly Fencing Exchange is happening this Saturday.

Any fencers who are available for 15-20 minutes at the end of school (3:15pm) on Friday, please assist with packing away tables and chairs to clear the Great Hall for the Exchange on Saturday.

Fencers participating in the Exchange, please arrive no later than 7:30am on Saturday to borrow electric equipment and help set up the Great Hall with electric pistes. Activities start at 8:00am and the roll will be marked. Please don’t be late!

SBHS Fencers are asked to stay back for 15 – 20 minutes at the conclusion of the Exchange to help pack away gear and set up the Great Hall with tables and chairs for exams next week.

I look forward to a fun event with you all.

Just a reminder to senior sabre fencers that you have an ongoing scheduled training session on Saturdays from 7:30 am to 9:30 am. Resources have been allocated so that you have a dedicated coach and can use the entire COLA for your session. Coach Garry will be there and the roll will be marked.

Please let me know if there are any issues or questions.

Cheers,
Mr Huynh

Hi all,

We have been working hard on a new program for a NSW Schools Fencing League where schools work directly with each other to create inter-school fencing opportunities for our students.

In the interest of transparency, I have attached documentation for a proposal for a Schools Fencing League that was discussed with a number of other schools as a response to the changes that NSWFA made to their school-aged program this year.

A Proposal for a NSW Schools’ League Competition in Boys Team Foil Fencing in 2018_V1.1_180309

I am delighted to inform you that we have five schools (including ours) working together on a pilot program for Boys Team Foil this season.

You can find more information about the program on the 2018 School Competitions page.

Exchanges and Fixtures for Foil are planned for this season with other activities being developed for Epee and Sabre – More details to come soon.

We look forward to this exciting opportunity to foster good relationships with other fencing schools and provide worthwhile inter-school fencing activities for our students.

Please let me know if there are any issues or questions.

Best regards,
