NSWCIS Athletics Championships

We extend a huge congratulations to the seven outstanding SCEGGS athletes who were selected to represent IGSA across nine events at the CIS Athletics Championships held on Tuesday 23 September. It was a fantastic day of competition, and each student demonstrated exceptional skill, determination, and sportswomanship on the track and field.

We are immensely proud of their commitment and effort in reaching this level of competition… an achievement that reflects both personal dedication and the strength of our athletics program.

A special mention goes to Jemima Sewell and Ruby Fry who marked their final athletics school pathway meet as SCEGGS students. Their contributions over the years have been inspiring, and we thank them for their perseverance and passion for sport.

Term 3 Sport concluded on the weekend and what a way to finish. At every venue the SCEGGS spirit was shining brightly amongst our community. For those in Year 12 it was a bittersweet moment as it marked the end of their school sporting adventures. A special shout out to those students who backed up to play finals on the morning after the Year 12 Formal – and win! We will miss you all and wish you the very best as you commence your final exams in Term 4.

SCEGGS had two teams in finals with SCEGGS 7 defeating Abbotsleigh 25-23 to be the premiers.

SCEGGS 11 had a narrow defeated to St Vincents to be runners up.

Hockey

SCEGGS 2 were runners up after being defeated by Abbotsleigh in a closely fought grand -final with only one goal the difference.

Football

After a wet season most teams were finishing round games to maximise the season. It was so great to finish with a bright sunny day.

To make for a thrilling final round, SCEGGS 1 and Ascham 1 who were sitting at the top of the table, agreed to play the final round as a grand-final. SCEGGS were victorious and defeated Ascham 2 – 0. A special mention to Alexie Wall (Year 12) for her stunning long range goal and Player of the Match effort. Also, to Bridget Murray  (Year 11) for her brilliant game in goal, defending a barrage of shots from Ascham.

SCEGGS Basketball Season Wrap-Up

The secondary school basketball season wrapped up over the weekend and what a term it has been for our SCEGGS program! Across the term, eleven teams proudly represented SCEGGS in the IGSA competition, once again highlighting the strength and depth of our basketball program.

This season saw remarkable success, with six of our teams advancing to the semi-finals and an outstanding three teams, SCE03, SCE05, and SCE10 securing places in the Grand Finals. The Grand Final games were played with determination, passion, and sportsmanship leaving all involved immensely proud of the girls’ efforts.

We’re delighted to congratulate our championship-winning teams, SCE03 and SCE05 (our Year 12 students) whose hard work, teamwork and dedication shone through under the guidance of their coaches, Helena and Zac. We also extend our admiration to SCE10 and Coach Dave who fought valiantly and delivered a fantastic performance in their Grand Final only just missing out on the title.

Of course, none of this would have been possible without the tireless dedication of our entire coaching team – Michael, Grace, Dom, Andrew, John, Nichol, Antonia, Josh, Adrian, and Jackson whose commitment, preparation and encouragement have been invaluable throughout the season. A heartfelt thank you also goes to our parents and families whose weekly support and efforts in getting the girls to their games play such a vital role in the program’s ongoing success and to our co-ordinator, Grace Barr, for the fantastic job she has done in helping ensure everything runs so smoothly.

Finally, to the players themselves: the growth in skills, teamwork, and confidence has been evident across the board and the outstanding results this season are a true testament to the girls’ dedication and resilience both on and off the court. A special mention goes to our Captain of Basketball, Ava Weekes who has been so passionate about basketball at SCEGGS. Her continued enthusiasm, maturity and passion have inspired her teammates and enriched every aspect of the program making this a season filled with development and achievement.

It has been a season and year to remember, and we look forward to building on this success in the year ahead. As we turn our attention to 2026, I’m excited to continue growing the spirit of basketball at SCEGGS, building on our strong foundations, nurturing new talent and celebrating the joy of the game together.
