Student Achievements

At the end of last year, Stasia Serafin (Year 6) competed at the School Sport Australia Track & Field Championships. She achieved a silver medal for the 10-year-old 100m and a gold medal in the 4 X 100m relay where her team beat a 2016 Australian relay record. Stasia made many new friends at the meet, achieved personal best times, and did a fantastic job representing NSW and SCEGGS. We can now call her the second fastest 10-year-old girl in Australia. Congratulations, Stasia. What a fantastic achievement!

Primary Sport Achievements

Does your daughter compete in any sport outside of school (for example, at a representative level or a sport we do not currently offer)? If so, I would love to celebrate their achievements by recognising them in this newsletter!

Please email any information (and photos, if possible) to Adrian Hammond. These will be included in newsletters throughout the year.

For any questions or issues, please email Adrian Hammond and the SCEGGS Sports Department.

Looking forward to a wonderful year of sport!
