Around the Grounds

The Year 3 Football, IPSHA Basketball and IPSHA Tennis competitions commenced last Saturday, marking a positive start to the term across all sports.

In IPSHA Basketball, all Year 6 teams competed at SCEGGS. It was wonderful to see the teams encouraging and supporting each another throughout the morning, while demonstrating resilience and perseverance against strong opposition. The SCEGGS 1 team got off to a strong start with an impressive performance against MLC. Isabelle Lee had a fantastic game, demonstrating excellent ball control and accuracy in her shooting. SCEGGS 2 faced Meriden, while SCEGGS 3 took on Kincoppal. Both teams showed plenty of promise, with positive examples of teamwork and effective ball movement. Despite their efforts, however, they were unable to contain their opponents’ attacks. At training, all Year 6 teams worked on developing their defensive tactics in preparation for their upcoming games.

A reminder that no Year 6 teams are scheduled to play on Saturday 24th October due to the Year 7 2027 Allwell testing.

Good luck to all the teams competing this weekend. We look forward to another great round of sport!
