Hi all,

We were accidentally left off the Winter Sport photos timetable but have been slotted in at 11:10am tomorrow. All fencers please be at the basketball courts with full school uniform and blazers if you have one.

Apologies for the late notice and thanks for your cooperation.

All new fencers have been asked to fill in a form (link below) to indicate their weapon preferences if they are trying out for Fencing next season. This data will help us organise and plan resources for the program more effectively next year. Please have the form completed by Thursday 03/08/17.

Hi all,

I have scheduled a special training session for year 7s this Saturday 10/06/17. This session is an opportunity for our new fencers to learn more about Epee and Sabre fencing. Year 7 fencers will need to choose a weapon preference next year when they continue fencing in year 8 – subject to places available in the Epee, Sabre and Foil program. This session is to give them them a bit of practical experience to help them make their preference selections next season.

Our Epee and Sabre coaches, Ted, Tony and Garry, will be present to help me run the Saturday session.

Training will be held at the COLA (Cricket nets) from 9am to 12pm. I will be asking for a few student mentors in Epee and Sabre to assist the coaches and me on the day. Please register your interest to attend as a mentor with Mr Huynh by Wednesday.

Cheers,

Mr Huynh

If you plan to fence in the U15 Individual Foil School Championship this Saturday and you’re going to be away from training this week because of Music camp, please see me today (Tuesday) or send me an email at your earliest convenience so I can register you for the competition. My deadline for submitting school entries is Thursday.

Equipment can be borrowed today at lunchtime or after school on Friday when you return to school. If you’re picking up equipment on Friday, please be at the cricket nets at 3:30pm sharp.

Hi all,

This coming Saturday will be busy as we have the U15 Foil Teams Premiership #3, the Individual School Championships for Senior Boys Epee and Sabre, and also the first of the U13 ABC Foil competition on and it will be a brand new experience for our year 7s. Student mentors will be there to help assist our newbies throughout the competition and I wish all of our fencers the best of luck and enjoy the day!

Fencers, mentors and ref lists are up on the RESULTS 2017 page. A gentle reminder for all of our fencers to make sure you arrive an hour before the start time to sign in and warm up. Mentors must also be present an hour before start time to assist the year 7s. Refs can turn up 30 minutes before start time.

Proper competition attire/uniform is expected for all of our SBHS fencers, mentors and refs. Please see UNIFORM FOR COMPETITIONS page for more info.

Have fun on Saturday!

Cheers,

Dat Huynh
