CIS Athletics Carnival
Last Friday 5 September, the 2025 CIS Primary Athletics Championships were held at Sydney Olympic Park Athletic Centre. Four students competed from SCEGGS. The girls worked hard in the lead up, including attending training sessions, and were supported by Ms Axford and our team of coaches on the day. Beatrice Emanuel (1500m and 800m) and Stasia Serafin (100m and 200m) achieved top 3 places in their events and will now go on to represent CIS at the NSWPSSA Championships next term. Congratulations to all competitors and we wish Stasia and Beatrice the best of luck at the NSWPSSA Championships.

Student Achievements
Dasha Jolley (Year 6) competed at the Australian Interschools Snowsports Championships last week and achieved commendable results in each of her events. What an excellent achievement to qualify for Alpine, Skier X, Moguls, and Cross-Country Classic. Congratulations to Dasha!
Gymnastics
It was a busy weekend for the SCEGGS Gymnastics team, with students competing at both Glebe PCYC and the Ascham competition. The team has also been busy preparing for the upcoming IPSHA competition. Athletes competed in multiple apparatus events, including Vault, Bars, Beam and Floor. There were some impressive results, and it was a good experience showcasing their gymnastics skills alongside Kincoppal and Ascham. Some of our highest scorers included:
| Level 2 | Sofia Zhmurovsky (Year 2) |
| Level 3 | Charlotte Baker (Year 4) |
| Level 4 | Georgia Scott (Year 6) |
Procedures for After School Sport Changes
If a Primary sport is scheduled for the afternoon, however needs to be cancelled (due to wet weather/poor air quality/extreme heat etc), then we update the location of the activity on Clipboard to
“Activity Cancelled – Read notes section”
and the finish time is changed to 4.30pm. We then write the following message in the notes section:
“… cancelled. Call … (by 2.30pm) for …”
We also post a notice on the SCEGGS App that is accompanied by a push notification, with the same message as above.
We appreciate families are expecting students to be at sport until 4.50-5.20pm on a usual afternoon for sport. Therefore, we provide supervision (not sports activities) until 4:30pm to give families time to organise alternative arrangements for an earlier collection.
If you are unable to organise your child to be redirected to go to the 3.10pm carline, or collected by 4.30pm at the Sports Hall, we ask that you contact the Primary Office (by 2.30pm) to arrange for your child to attend After School Care so you can collect them at a time that suits you best.
We endeavour to update Clipboard and the SCEGSS App of sport cancellations or changes by 1.30pm each day. It is important for families to enable push notifications on their moblie devices to receive these updates.
If you are running late to collect your child from Forbes St after sport, then please note that coaches are instructed to wait 10 minutes and then students will be redirected to wait at the Primary office. For specific information on pick up and drop off times, please refer to the information here.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
