Saturday Sport

It was a hot and humid morning for Round 2 of Saturday sport. The Year 3 Basketball teams continued their strong start to the season and finished with two wins and a draw from their three fixtures. The girls have been putting in the hard work at training and have been committed to improving their dribbling and shooting. It is great to see their hard work paying off. The IPSHA Football teams had a tough round, with the 6A team leading the charge with their 1-1 draw against Danebank. Special mention to the 4C team, who never gave up against PLC, despite going down to no reserves. There were many excellent performances from the game, including Harper Doherty’s goalkeeping efforts and Camilla Harvey’s strong tackles in defence. The IPSHA Water Polo team showed great improvement from the previous week. Despite going down by three goals, the team improved on their defensive tactics in the water including their marking and ‘pressing’. A big shoutout to Chloe Anderson (Year 6) who made several impressive saves despite it being her first ever time as goalkeeper. The team also had a guest spectator as Mrs Ryan came to cheer the girls on!

A reminder to all teams to uphold the SCEGGS Sports Values each and every Saturday match!

IPSHA Swimming Team

Congratulations to the following students who have been selected in the SCEGGS team to compete at the IPSHA Swimming Carnival taking place on Tuesday 3 March at Sydney Olympic Park. We wish the team the best of luck at the meet.

Student Achievements

Congratulations to Edith Herceg (Year 4) who competed at the NSW Surf Lifesaving State Championships in Swansea last weekend. She represented North Bondi and competed in flags, sprints and relays. Edith made the final of the all-age relay and two semi-finals for sprints and flags, narrowly missing the final of the flags but coming 8th out of 150 competitors. Excitingly, it was a photo finish between first, second and third in the final of the all age relay with just centimetres between them, and Edith finished with a bronze medal! Congratulations to Edith for her efforts.
