Senior training (1pm to 3pm) on Wednesday (05/04/17) is cancelled as year 12 are still on exams and year 10 have been granted a study day to attend Mr. Higgins’ funeral.

After school Junior training is still on from 3:30pm to 5pm.

The Fencing Supporters Meeting is still on from 6pm in the Staff Common Room.

Please contact the MIC if there are any questions or issues.

All new year 7 fencers have the opportunity to borrow a set of personal protective equipment (fencing mask, jacket and underplastron) from the armoury for the season.

New fencers will be able to take the gear home and are expected to maintain and clean the equipment as required.

Please bring an extra sports bag that can fit a fencing mask to training on Thursday. Gear will be loaned out for the season during training. No bag = no gear for you!

All fencers will be expected to bring their set of personal protective equipment to training (excluding sprints training) and will not be able to fence without it.

Alternatively, you are welcome to buy yourself a set of the equipment if you do not wish to use the school gear.

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

See you at training!

Hi all,

Welcome back to SBHS Fencing in 2017! I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday break. We are starting to plan the program and events for this season, starting with the first school competition: the Roberta Nutt Shield. I have notified students via the school Daily Notices about the upcoming event.

Thank you to those students who have already spoken with me and passed me their registration details. I would like to send the entries off on Monday afternoon, so if you haven’t already given me the necessary details, please do so before the end of school on Monday 13/02/17.

Students will be able to borrow the electric gear from the armoury on Wednesday 15/02/17 at lunchtime, or arrange an alternative time with Mr Huynh if you are away on Wednesday.

The competition venue will still be at Marrickville PCYC for this event and will be moving to the new NSWFA venue for the rest of the season.

I look forward to another exciting fencing season with you!

Cheers,

Dat Huynh

Hi all,

We will be participating in the Fencing Exchange with Barker College over the next two Saturdays. It will be a great opportunity for us to train together and for the boys to get some extra fencing in as well as make new friends.

Attendance is voluntary for our students and places are limited due to size constraints of the training venue. Students who wish to attend must inform Mr Huynh (if they have not done so already by writing their name on the whiteboard) and collect any gear they wish to borrow for the event on Wednesday at the start of Lunch 1.

• Saturday 27/08/16 – Barker will be hosting us at their venue.

Location: Hornsby RSL Memorial Hall, 2 High St Hornsby (a short walk from Hornsby station and Hornsby Westfield, with parking available)

Time: 8:00am to 12:00pm (please arrive by 7:45am)

Barker’s Fencing Invitation can be found here:
