The Cross Country Carnival, in which all girls in Years 3-6 are involved, will be held on Tuesday 17 March at Queens Park opposite Moriah College, Baronga Ave, Queens Park.  The girls will be leaving SCEGGS at 8:30am, with the first event starting at 9:00am. The girls will return to school mid-morning, with lessons taking place as usual for the rest of the day.

The program has been organised with approximate times as follows:

Please note “age” is the age each student is on 31 December 2020.

The first six girls in each age group will be selected to represent SCEGGS at the IPSHA Cross Country Carnival. Additional entries may be invited subject to meeting a required standard.

In special circumstances where a girl is unable to run at the school carnival, a time taken at Cross Country training may be used at the discretion of the Sports Co-ordinator.

The IPSHA carnival will take place at The King’s School on Saturday 4 April 2020.

State Nippers Championships

Congratulations to Rosie Pallett (Year 5), Antonia Neal (Year 4) and Jaime Currell (Year 5) who competed at the State Nippers Championships on Saturday 29 February in Newcastle. Rosie’s mixed under 10 relay team were placed first as was Antonia’s U10 girls relay. Jaime competed in the grueling board and board relay event. A fantastic achievement for all the girls.

 

Year 1 and 2 swimming lessons

We have had an eager group of Year 1 and 2 girls involved in the Learn to Swim program on Monday after school this term at NCIE pool Redfern. All girls are working hard to improve their stroke development and water confidence.
