Equestrian
Congratulations to Isla Oxley (Year 9) who competed at the prestigious Willinga Park for Dressage by the Sea. Isla was the Reserve Champion in the children’s class.
In December Isla also competed at the Victorian Dressage Festival and was successful in being awarded the Reserve Champion also.
We look forward to hearing more about Isla’s Equestrian endeavours as the year progresses.
Sailing
On the weekend, SCEGGS Year 12 student Isobel Payne competed in the ACT Teams Racing State Championships in Canberra on Lake Burley-Griffin, with a team from the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron. Her team placed 2nd overall. In an all family affair, Isobel was coached throughout the regatta by SCEGGS old girl and big sister Gretel Payne (Class of 2021).
In a 3-boat v 3-boat format, teams racing tests the competitors rules knowledge and teamwork to win races in 2-person boats. Despite competing in challenging light wind conditions all weekend, making strategy and boat-handling difficult, Isobel’s team were very happy to come away with a 2nd place finish.
Swimming
A special shout out to Evie Mitchell-Zancanaro in Year 10 (and her brother) who completed the Malabar Magic Ocean Swim last weekend.
