Australian Snowsports Championships

SCEGGS sent 9 students to compete at the Australian Interschools Snowsports Championships that were held at Perisher last week. This was the final competition to finish up the 2022 Snowsport season.

Conditions were somewhat tough during the week with wind, rain and ice all a feature throughout. A special mention of the Division 1 skiers in both Alpine and Skier Cross who had a hair-raising experience on difficult courses that were full of ice and difficult to navigate. This year we farewell Lily Punch in Year 12 who has represented SCEGGS and competed at the Australian level since she was in Year 1.

The Cross-Country skiers certainly stood out from the crowd and received many comments from other schools in their “Gowan’s Gals” T-shirts! Led by our SCEGGS Snowsports Captain, Scarlett Phillips, there was some excellent sportsmanship on display as the team cheered on their fellow competitors, even the Division 1 team from Tara were cheered on during the race despite being our opposition.

Thank you to all of the SCEGGS families who made the season possible with your constant support and commitment on the mountain, and the many hours commuting to and from Perisher this year.

Highlights from the week were as follows:

Division 1 Moguls: Scarlett Phillips placed 17^th
Division 1 Alpine: Scarlett Phillips 10^th, Lily Punch, Sophie McGrath
Division 5 Alpine: Jessica Grace placed 26^th (out of 70 competitors)
Division 1 Skier Cross Team placed 5^th overall: Lily Punch (13^th), Scarlett Phillips, Evangeline Marr
Cross Country Classic Division 1 Team placed 5^th overall: Tilda Meggitt, Scarlett Phillips, Zara Buchen
Cross Country Classic Division 2: Abigail Grace
Cross Country Classic Division 4: Gemma Shennan 15^th
Cross Country Relay Division 1 Team placed 5^th overall: Tilda Meggitt, Scarlett Phillips, Zara Buchen

SCEGGS Striders

This term saw the introduction of the SCEGGS Striders Club on Wednesday mornings. This was an extension of our SCEGGS Cross Country program run by Ms Thompson. The venues and routes would change as the bus dropped students around Sydney and they took new sights each week. It has proven to be very popular with numbers continuing to grow. We look forward to offering more of the SCEGGS Striders next term.

Arounds the Grounds

We celebrate some of our teams from Netball and Football that competed in the semi finals on the weekend.
