You’ll be required to sign into your school account to ensure one response per person (and you can edit your response afterwards if you want to).

Hi all,

As we approach the last training session of the season, please remember to clean and return your fencing gear. Please notify Mr Huynh via email if there are any issues with your borrowed gear.

Seniors are to return ALL borrowed gear during the Wednesday Sport session (09/08/2023).
Juniors are to return ALL borrowed gear during the Thursday Sport session (10/08/2023).

Please help us by returning the gear on time as we need to do a stocktake of all items in our inventory. This is a huge task as we have over 500 items to track! Do your part in taking care of our equipment and follow Check-in/Check-out gear procedures so we can maintain and invest in quality gear for future seasons.
Failure to return equipment on time will result in a detention.

Training will be focused on fitness activities and games this week for those who are returning borrowed fencing whites.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: The storeroom in the cricket nets must be cleared of all fencing bags by end of Thursday’s training session! Any bag left behind will result in 100 burpees to reclaim their bag.

For those who have asked to borrow gear in the off-season to help continue their fencing training, plans are in the works to lend out equipment AFTER stocktake is complete.

Thanks for your cooperation!
Cheers,
Mr Dat Huynh
