SCEGGS Around the Grounds

We would like to share some of our photos of our secondary students as they enjoy their sport.

Our SCEGGS 5 Tennis team were gallant in defeat against MLC last weekend.

A group of SCEGGS Year 10 students have entered a social Netball team into the local Waverley competition in preparation for Term 2. The team played their final match last week and over the seas on every player has improved immensely. The players can be seen proudly wearing netball bibs from the Tie Dye Project, a charity run by Old Girl Amy Parmenter (Class of 2015).

Our Senior 5 Touch Football team have been combining well and have put some solid results on the board. They are currently placed in equal first position.
