Around the Grounds

Co-curricular sport has continued each week at SCEGGS. Each term, SCEGGS offers tennis programs across a range of venues, providing students with opportunities to develop their skills and enjoy the sport.

This term, Year 3 students have been participating at Trumper Park Tennis Centre, Year 4 at Eastside Tennis Courts, and Years 5 and 6 at Camperdown Tennis Centre. Across the sessions, students have been developing a range of tennis skills, including forehand and backhand strokes, volleying and gameplay, while building confidence through fun and engaging games.

The Year 3 girls have particularly enjoyed their tennis sessions, and it has been wonderful to see their enthusiasm grow alongside their developing skills.

 

This term, our Years 2 and Year 3 students have been participating in development sessions led by SCEGGS coaches Kirrily, Matilda, Lizzy and Tessa. The sessions have been fun, engaging and thoughtfully designed to help students develop their technical skills and build confidence in preparation for competition.

It has been wonderful to see the students’ enthusiasm and commitment each week, as well as the noticeable improvement in their skills and confidence. Their positive attitude and willingness to learn have been wonderful to see!

 

Student Achievements

Congratulations to Ciara Rosswick (Year 4), who completed the City2Surf last weekend, tackling the challenging 14km course to Bondi in just over 82 minutes.

While her impressive finish time is certainly something to celebrate, it was Ciara’s wonderful attitude and determination that truly stood out. She ran with a big smile on her face for most of the course, demonstrating an incredible level of enthusiasm, resilience and enjoyment throughout the event. What a fantastic accomplishment, Ciara!
