Gymnastics

Congratulations to the SCEGGS Gymnasts who competed at Five Dock Leisure Centre on Sunday 4 September. We look forward to primary and high school representative carnivals later this year.

It was fantastic to see SCEGGS compete strongly against a field of independent schools and private gymnastics clubs.

Ingrid Soerensen won the overall highest score in Level 4. Wavy Ellis and Victoria Poniros collected Gold Banding, both finishing within the Top 5!

It’s lovely to watch the girls grow in confidence with each event. Due to COVID its be so long and it’s nice to be back out there on the floor.
