IPSHA Sport

Round 6 of IPSHA Basketball took place on the weekend. All Year 6 teams lost their fixtures at home, although managed to win the second half of each game. A big shout out to the 4C team who had their first win of the season, defeating a strong MLC team 8-2. Well done girls for your perseverance. The 5C team had a tough outing against St Catherine’s and the 5B team drew 10-10 to MLC in an incredibly close game. Special mention to Eliza Wilcsek (Year 5) for her teamwork and enthusiasm. She also showed pinpoint shooting accuracy for the 5A team scoring five shots in a row. The 5A team has shown incredible skills this season and had another dominant performance, defeating Barker College 50-16.

A fantastic weekend of tennis for all teams. All four teams played extremely well and won their matches against tough competition. The SCEGGS 1 team has been a standout on the court this term with some incredible rallies and superb shot-making. Shoutout to Alice Chandler (Year 4) who not only excelled on the court but showed very professional umpiring of a doubles match. Congratulations to Mrs Joukhadar, her team of coaches, and all players for an excellent term of tennis.

Year 3 Football

Year 3 Football teams have done a fantastic job this term and shown great improvements with their understanding of Football tactics and skills. Mrs Sweeney has been happy with the efforts of the girls, particularly with their passing and shooting. The students have also shown good teamwork this season by supporting each other during the games. Well done to all Year 3 Football teams and Mrs Sweeney and her team of coaches for an excellent season.

K-1 Games and 2-3 Basketball Skills

The music was bouncing off the walls in the Old Gym last Thursday for K-1 Games as the girls were showing off their best dance moves. This term, participants have played a variety of fun games, learned to be a part of a team, and developed their movement skills under the watchful eye of our enthusiastic coaches.

Students in Years 2-3 have continued to involve themselves in different games and drills designed to develop their Basketball skills, including shooting, dribbling and passing.

On behalf of our dedicated coaches and staff, we want to thank all students (and their families) who have involved themselves and supported primary sport at SCEGGS this year. There have been so many highlights, and it has been truly fantastic to witness so many students embracing various activities. Lastly, well done to all Year 6 players. I hope you have enjoyed your final year of primary sport and wish you all the best next year.
