COLA will be inaccessible on Thursday and Friday this week

I was notified earlier today that there are plans to replace the roofing of the COLA and that works will start on Thursday 26/05/2022 and hopefully finish by Friday this week. The COLA will be inaccessible while the works are being conducted.

As such, Thursday training will be moved to the outdoor basketball courts. Furthermore, all students who have stored gear in the storage room are asked to move it out by tomorrow if you wish to have access to your gear for training and competition this weekend.

All Intermediate Squad fencers are asked to organise gear borrowing ASAP for the upcoming team comp this weekend. Please see Mr Huynh to arrange this.

Preliminary Intermediate team lists have been published on the Results page.

Please contact Mr Huynh if there are any issues or questions.

Monday 23/05/2022 – Parent Teacher Interviews – Squad Training starts earlier

As the school day ends earlier due to Parent Teacher Interviews on Monday 23/05/2022, Squad Fencers can access the COLA for Fencing training from 2:45pm. Coach Kevin Chen will be in charge of managing the training session as Mr Huynh will be attending to parent teacher interviews. Training still goes to 5pm. Squad Fencers, please assist the coaches to set up at the beginning of training and help pack up at the end of training. Mr Huynh will check in with the fencers during his breaks.

Please contact Mr Huynh if there are any issues or questions and thanks for your cooperation!

Cheers,
Mr Dat Huynh
