Let The Sun Shine In!

Spring has arrived and the Brentwood fields, courts, and waterfront have been flooded with sunshine and a full array of sports action. On the fields, our Boys’ and Girls’ Rugby teams are rounding into form and getting ready to gear up for the provincial championships next month. Our Junior and Senior Girls’ Soccer teams have had some excellent results including the Juniors capturing another Mid-Island league title! On the courts, our Girls’ Tennis team finished with a silver and the boys with bronze at the ISA tournament hosted by Brentwood. The team is hoping to make another run at provincials at the end of May. On the water, our rowers represented Brentwood in fine form at last week’s 44th Annual Brentwood International Regatta. The BCRC finished first among all the high school teams competing at the regatta. The event was a spectacular showcase for our school and a real tribute to the organizational skills of our Head of Rowing, Mrs. Debbie Sage. Our golf team is also off to one of its best starts in recent years with some strong showings at both the ISA tournament and the Vic City Police Tournament. While our competitive teams are fun to watch, our other programs are equally vibrant and engaging. Outdoor Pursuits has provided our students with amazing opportunities as they have immersed themselves in rock climbing and white water kayaking. Other students have been enjoying an eclectic mix of cross-country running, badminton, cross-training, squash, fitness fusion and weight lifting. The third term is, without question, our busiest athletic time of the year, but the blue skies and sunshine seem to create boundless energy and joy in our students. Any visitor to our school on a sports day is sure to be delighted by the activity and enthusiasm that pervades our campus – please consider yourself warmly invited!
