Saturday Sport

Despite the rain throughout the week, a crisp morning greeted us and all Saturday sport went ahead for Round 5.

The IPSHA Hockey teams scored one win, although the SCEGGS 1 team went down 1-0 in an incredibly close game against Danebank that could have gone either way.

The Year 3 Touch teams played well but unfortunately couldn’t find a win in their fixtures although all three games were incredibly close. The girls continue to improve their skills and understanding of Touch each week!

The IPHSA Netball teams continued their strong season, and all the teams came away with a win. More importantly, it was great to see the Netball teams modelling the SCEGGS Sports Values, in particular ‘Graciousness’ despite some physical encounters.

To build on National Reconciliation Week and the theme of ‘All In’, last Saturday was Indigenous Sport Round. Each of the teams completed an Indigenous warm up game. The Year 3 Touch teams played a game called ‘Birray’, or ‘March-Fly’ where players had to close their eyes and tag other players and then act as a March Fly. Players wore a blue or red ribbon with the artwork from Glen Ella, an Indigenous man from Yuin Country. The artwork of circular symbols on the ribbon represents meeting places, where Traditional Owners would gather to share knowledge. An Acknowledgement of Country was given prior to each game. It was a wonderful round and the SCEGGS girls really stood out.
