Striders
Striders has kicked off to a great start with perfect weather and enthusiasm from all participants – we are out and about exploring the best of Sydney’s sites on our weekly Wednesday morning runs – it’s still not too late to join or trial a session.
Touch
On Friday 1 May, SCEGGS proudly took two teams to compete at the NSW All Schools Touch Championships in Gosford. It was a fantastic day of competition, with both teams progressing through to the semi-finals and ultimately finishing in the top four of their respective divisions, an outstanding achievement.
This success is a reflection of the players’ enthusiasm, commitment, and willingness to continue developing their skills beyond the Term 1 Touch season. It was also wonderful to see the continued support and dedication of our coaching staff, who played an important role in guiding the teams on the day.
Congratulations to all players and coaches involved for representing SCEGGS with such energy, teamwork, and pride.
