Years 3 – 6 Primary Swimming Carnival                                                            

We look forward to hosting our Primary Swimming Carnival at Drummoyne Swim Centre on Monday 14 February.

Girls must be at school by 8.15am, as usual, on the Carnival day. Hired buses will leave SCEGGS at 8.30am to take students to the carnival. Girls will also return to school by hired bus; the school day will conclude at the usual time of 3.10pm. All girls must travel to and from the Carnival on the school bus. Parents will not drop or collect their daughters from the pool.

Unfortunately, no spectators will be permitted at the Carnival.

Regarding co-curricular activities on the day, Swimming Squad for Years 4-6 has been cancelled for the week. After school, Gymnastics, Dance and Tennis are optional for those girls who would like to attend. After School Care and 1-2 Swimming will operate as usual. 

Girls should come to school in PE uniform and, if necessary, will be given time to change into swimming costumes at school. PE uniform must be worn correctly to and from school, but at the Carnival, the girls may wear decorated hats, coloured socks, t-shirts etc, in House colours. 

The pool at Drummoyne Swim Centre is an outdoor pool. While there is ample undercover seating, girls must wear t-shirts and sun hats throughout the day when not swimming and are expected to bring and apply sunscreen during the day. Girls will not be allowed to access canteen facilities throughout the day. We ask that the girls bring enough food and drink for the day. 

In the case of inclement weather and the need to cancel the Carnival, a decision will be made by 7.30am. Please check the SCEGGS Sports Twitter feed for updates.

We are all looking forward to a wonderful day and crossing our fingers for a sunny day! 

IPSHA Football, IPSHA Water Polo & Year 3 Basketball                                                           

Games for all Primary Saturday sports will begin this weekend on Saturday 12 February. A draw has been given to each girl and may also be accessed on Cognito (Parent Access) on the Sports homepage. Wet weather details are also contained on the draw.

Unless notified otherwise, one spectator per student will be allowed at all Saturday sports. Year 3 Basketball held at SCEGGS will be one spectator allowed per player.

Please ensure your daughter is at the venue ready to start 30 minutes before her game so that there is time to complete a full warm-up as a team. Girls must arrive in the correct uniform, have a full water bottle and bring all other sports-specific equipment required to play (eg shin pads for football).
