Welcome back to Term 3, everyone!

Monday 17/07/2023 is a Staff Development day, but after polling the students and coaches, we agreed to run Squad Training (3:30pm to 5pm) as we have important competitions coming up.
Furthermore, all Squad Fencers and parents have been sent an email regarding Australian Senior Schools Fencing Championships. Please make sure you’ve read that information and contact me if there are any issues or questions.

More information regarding Senior Nationals will be shared soon after Monday’s training concludes to determine team compositions.

Cheers,
Mr Dat Huynh

Holiday fencing training has been scheduled both Wednesdays of the break to help keep our fencers fit and sharpen their skills to be ready for Term 3 events.

Date: Wednesdays 05/07/2023 and 12/07/2023
Newbie/Development Training Session: 12:30pm to 2:30pm
For our new and recreational fencers to get focused attention to level up your skills quickly!

Squad Training Session: 3pm to 5pm
For our Squad fencers to stay fit and sharp, ready for competitions in Term 3! The Senior National Schools event is on the first weekend back in Term 3 so we highly recommend our senior teams to attend training. Squad fencers are permitted to participate in the earlier session pending manageable numbers of attendance.

All holiday training is voluntary. We will have coaching resources allocated for these sessions.

Please make sure you bring the following:

• Your fencing gear
• Water bottle and towel
• Your own lunch (canteen will not be open!)

Please contact Mr Huynh if there are any issues or questions.
We wish you a safe, enjoyable and productive holiday break!

Hi all,

As the school day finishes earlier at 2pm on Monday 05/06/2023 due to Parent Teacher Interviews, Squad Training will start earlier at 2:30pm and will run for 2 hours until 4:30pm.

Sprints training for Development Fencers is still running as per normal scheduled training time. I do not run the Sprints program so have no control over when the training starts and finishes.

Please let me know if there are any issues.

Cheers,
Mr Dat Huynh
