Due to private schools starting school holidays a week early, there are no fixtures/competitions on this Saturday.
However, we will be running the Development Training Session from 8am to 10am for Epee and Foil programs.

Clipboard has been updated accordingly and rolls will be marked.

Please let me know if there are any issues.

Clipboard has been updated with the rolls for Saturday.
Please note: Saturday Development training is cancelled this week as coaching and staff resources are diverted to comp and fixture events. Development Fencers are welcome to attend the fixtures to support our teams.

For all competitions, please aim to arrive 60 minutes earlier than your start time so that you can check in with the DT, get your name marked off the Clipboard roll with your coach, and warm up sufficiently before your first official bout. Referees are to check in with the DT 30 minutes before the start time.

We wish our fencers all the best for this weekend!

As year 7 Newbies have a friendly fixture this Saturday at Newington, please make sure to attend the Development Training session afterschool on Thursday. Please bring a big enough sports bag to carry additional fencing equipment (lame, body wire, weapon).

For non year 7 Junior Newbies, you will also be learning more about preparing for fixtures during Thursday’s Development session. You are welcome to attend the friendly fixture on Saturday to observe and support our teams. We are limiting fencers to year 7 on Saturday to meet the host’s request for this initial fixture. We hope to increase opportunities for all newbies as we get a better feel for other schools’ capabilities to host.

Please note: Non Newbie Development Foil will be cancelled for Thursday Development Session this week to prioritise the space for Junior Newbie Foil fencers.

Clipboard rolls have been updated accordingly.

Please contact me if there are any issues or questions.

Cheers,

To all newbie year 7 Fencers,

As a courtesy notice, we have a planned Friendly Fencing Event with Newington College on next Saturday 22/06/2024 for our Newbie Year 7 Fencers (all weapons).

Newington will be hosting this event at their Concordia Gallery venue next to their main campus in Stanmore. Students will fence in teams to gain experience with the 45 hit relay format. We anticipate that the time commitment will be approximately 8am to 12pm. Coaching and staffing resources will be allocated to help supervise and manage the event. We may call on volunteer Senior Squad Fencers to assist with mentoring on the day as well.

More details will be posted early next week when I’m back from Melbourne.

Cheers,
Mr Dat Huynh
