Primary Sport News

Welcome back, SCEGGS families and students, to an exhilarating Term 3, 2023! We hope you had a fantastic break and are ready to dive into an action-packed term filled with sports and activities that will surely make memories for years to come.

We are thrilled to announce the return of a wide range of sports and extracurriculars, providing our students with opportunities to showcase their talents and sportsmanship. If your daughter is looking to join as a late enrolment for one of our offerings, please send an email to TomMitton@sceggs.nsw.edu.au or BrittanyRobbins@sceggs.nsw.edu.au to see if there are places available!

On Saturdays, our girls will hit the field for the IPSHA AFL and IPSHA Touch Football competitions. These competitions allow our students to show their skills in their chosen sports, forge lasting memories and friendships, and compete against other local schools. Please check out the IPSHA Code of Conduct, which has been sent to all IPSHA schools, reminding parents, coaches and players of expectations while competing.

For our Year 3 students, we move onto Term 3 Sport at Ascham for their Minkey Hockey journey. This exciting and skill-building competition will undoubtedly nurture a love for hockey and instil values such as teamwork and perseverance. A reminder that matches begin next week. There will be a training session on Saturday morning from 8.30am-10.00am at Moore Park Fields, Robertson Road for all girls enrolled. Attendance is required.

We are committed to providing a supportive and encouraging environment where all students can develop their physical and mental prowess while having a blast. Whether your passion lies in team sports or individual activities, there is something for everyone in this term’s comprehensive sports program.

We extend our gratitude to our dedicated coaches, teachers, and parents who make these sporting events possible. Your unwavering support and enthusiasm are what drive our students to achieve their personal bests and grow both on and off the field.

So, let’s lace up those boots, pick up those hockey sticks, and get ready to hit the ground running! Together, let’s make Term 3, 2023 at SCEGGS one to remember! Go team!

Primary Sport Achievements

Congratulations to Clementine Finlayson (Year 4) who represented SEHA Under 11s team in Tamworth for the Kim Small Shield, which they won (in Div B). It was a massive weekend of hockey with Clementine playing 8 games of hockey and 2 games of indoor hockey over three days.

Help us celebrate any other achievements outside of school!

Does your daughter compete in any sport outside of school (for example, at a representative level or a sport we do not currently offer)? If so, I would love to celebrate their achievements by recognising them in this newsletter!

Please email any information (and photos, if possible) to Tom Mitton. These will be included in newsletters throughout the year.
