Primary Sport

This week we look at the Primary Swimming Carnival, SCEGGS Swimming Team and Inter-House Cross Country Carnival.

Primary Swimming Carnival

We had a beautiful day for our Primary Inter-House swimming carnival on Thursday 20 February at Drummoyne. There was great excitement, colour and cheering from all houses to support their teammates. Thank you to all the staff for their help to make the day so enjoyable for the girls.

Thankyou to the Year 6 leaders for motivating their houses to perform fantastic cheers throughout the day.

A special congratulations to our 2020 Primary School Champion, Georgia Baker Wood (Barton), who also broke the 12 yrs Breaststroke record with a time of 44.30.
