To all SBHS students,

Please have this task completed by Tuesday 23/02/2021 as we need time to plan resources and set up pools for Squad tryouts in week 7.

Make sure you have also nominated Fencing on your Sports Selection Ballot. This Google form is part of the tryout process and does not guarantee your selection.

Due to the demand and limited places, students who do not follow instructions to fill in the tryout form will not be able to progress to physical tryouts in week 7.

Hi all,

As we are wrapping up the end of another Fencing season, we ask that you please take some time to provide us with some valuable feedback so that we’re able to improve the program for next season.

The survey will only take a few minutes and the Google Form link can be found here:
SBHS Fencing 2020 – End of season survey

You’ll be required to sign into your Google account to ensure one response per person (and you can edit your response afterwards if you need to). The survey is completed anonymously as your email address is not collected.

The survey will remain open for the next few weeks (until the end of term), but please consider completing it ASAP so that we can review and start planning next year’s program to meet the needs of our school community.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance and may the Force be with you!
