Year 3 Basketball

The Year 3 Basketball competition commenced on Saturday with matches played against Kambala and Ascham. SCEGGS is hosting the competition this term and games are being played at Heffron Courts, Maroubra. There were close games with two of the three matches being decided by six points. It is wonderful to see the girls already showing improved dribbling, shooting and teamwork skills and playing the game with such a positive attitude. Keep up the fantastic work!

IPSHA Football

A sunny Saturday greeted us for the first round of the IPSHA (Year 4-6) Football competition, and it was great to see Year 4 students having their first taste of IPSHA Saturday sport. The SCEGGS teams came away with four wins, three losses, and one draw. The SCEGGS 1 and 2 teams proved they are going to be hard to beat this season with 3-1 and 3-0 wins in their respective divisions and a shoutout to the SCEGGS 4 team who drew 6-6 in a high-scoring game against MLC. Well done to all students who modelled the SCEGGS Sports Values regardless of the game score and we look forward to an enjoyable Football season ahead.

IPSHA Flippa Ball

A combined Year 5 and 6 team entered the pool at Abbotsleigh for Flippa Ball (modified Water Polo) last Saturday, and what an exciting game it was. It was the first time many of the team had played Flippa Ball and they kept improving as the game went on. The team played against a strong Pymble side, and although the result didn’t go our way, the girls should be extremely proud of their efforts. The team put up a fantastic fight, showed great grit and determination, and came close to scoring with some slick passing and shooting from Stasia Serafin (Year 6) and Alyssa Kisirwani (Year 5). Well done, girls. It was wonderful to see you in action!
