Term 3 Sport Recap
There were many highlights and examples of students shining their light at sport this term. We had students competing at IPSHA and CIS Athletics Carnivals, NSWPSSA and School Sport Australia Cross Country Championships, Interschools Snowsports, Equestrian Interschools Championships, NSWPSSA Netball, and Gymnastics competitions to name just a few. The Year 3 Minkey and Netball teams made great improvements to their skills, and the IPSHA AFL and Touch Football teams finished the term strong after several washouts. It was great to see so many examples of students modelling the SCEGGS Sports Values and enjoying their sport. Well done to all players and thank you to the sports staff and the team of coaches for their efforts. We look forward to more highlights next term.
Student Achievements
Amelia Wilson (Year 4) has been heavily involved with her club Netball team. Her team (Leichhardt Wanderers) won the Under 10 premiership in the Inner West Netball comp, comprehensively defeating the minor premiers who hadn’t lost a game all season. It was the team’s first year of playing Netball but they have played soccer together for 3 years, showing that with good team spirit, commitment and mindset you can achieve anything! Congratulations to Amelia.
Emilia Laban (Year 6) has been shining her light on the tennis court. She recently represented the Northern Suburbs Tennis Association in the final of the Premier 1 Division of the Crackanthorp Cup, a tennis competition for girls 12 years and under within the NSW interdistrict competition. Emilia and her two team mates came away with the win against very strong opponents. Congratulations Emilia.
Alessandra Voitenko Turner (Year 6) has continued her excellent equestrian achievements. She had recent success at the Waratah World Cup competition, placing 1st in the 90cm class riding Greengrove Calle II (Chappo). Alessandra also achieved:
| 1st | 90cm class on Chappo |

Congratulation to Alessandra on a very successful weekend and her first win in the 90cm class. We wish her the best of luck at the ACT Showjumping Club Canberra Classic 2025 competition followed by the 2025 Interschool Nationals competition.
