Well done to Holly Shennan (Year 6) and Cleopatra Norman (Year 3) who competed in the Huskisson Kids Triathlon over the weekend. Both girls were involved in the event alongside family and friends. What a fantastic way to be involved in physical activity.

Years 3-6 Cross Country Carnival

The Cross Country Carnival, in which all girls in Years 3-6 are involved, will be held on Tuesday 12 March at Queens Park opposite Moriah College, Baronga Ave, Queens Park.

Students are to come to school in their sports uniform and change into their school uniform when they arrive back at school. Students will need to ensure they have a drink bottle, hat, sunscreen and healthy snacks packed for the morning inside of their SCEGGS sports bag. Please make sure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled.

Girls will leave SCEGGS from 8.30am, with the first event starting at 9.00 am. Girls will then return to school mid-morning, with lessons as usual for the rest of the day.

The program has been organised with approximate times as follows:

Please note “age” is the age each student is on 31 December 2024.

Spectators are welcome to attend but are asked to remain around the perimeter of the cross-country track.

For selection to the IPSHA Cross Country team, up to five girls in each age group will represent SCEGGS at the IPSHA Cross Country Carnival. In exceptional circumstances where a girl cannot run at the school carnival, the final team selection will be at the discretion of the Director of Sport and Primary Sports Coordinator.

There is always the chance a carnival may be postponed due to various conditions. If so, communication will be provided as early as possible and distributed via email, and by class teachers.
