Saturday Sport Indigenous Round
It was Indigenous Sport Round last Saturday 31 May as part of Reconciliation Week. The SCEGGS teams wore red and blue ribbons, and the artwork on the ribbons was produced by Glen Ella, an Indigenous man from Yuin country. The story behind the artwork is that the circular symbols represent meeting places, where Traditional Owners would gather to share knowledge. Many of the teams participated in a warmup from a traditional Indigenous game, including the Year 3 Touch Football teams participating in ‘Birray’ (or ‘March Fly’) which was played by young children in the Bloomfield area of North Queensland. Prior to each game, an Acknowledgement of Country was also given to show respect for the land and traditional custodians.
K-6 Athletics Carnival 2025

AFL All Schools Competition
On Monday 2 to Tuesday 3 June, Klemintine Chylek, Emily Snow and Alice Beaumont (Year 6) attended the All Schools AFL State Championships after being selected to represent the Sydney Metro East team. The girls played five games against the best regional representative squads from around NSW. After two gruelling days of high-level football, the Sydney Metro team made it to the Grand Final. They ultimately went down to a very slick team from the mid-North Coast but were right in it even up to the last quarter. Congratulations girls.
What an excellent achievement!
