Football

Congratulations to the Senior 1st Football team who had a close win over Kambala on the weekend. It was a cool morning at ES Marks with both teams being very evenly matched. SCEGGS eventually won 2-1. Well done.

 

Hockey

Well done to our SCEGGS hockey players who competed at Division 1 NSW U18 Championships last weekend that were held at Marang Hockey Fields.

Audrey Rivers (Year 11) and Aurelia Ruberto (Year 11) who represented the North-West Sydney team and Jess Weatherall (Year 12) played for South-East Sydney (SEHA). Jess’s SEHA were runners up to Newcastle after a 1-0 defeat in the final.

Congratulations to Aurelia Ruberto who was named in the NSW U18 Pathways and Performance Squad at the completion of the competition.

 

Athletics

Congratulations to Coco Espie who has just returned from her trip to Switzerland. She competed in three competitions over two weeks in Arbon at the Daniela Jutzeler Memorial and the Swiss National Championships where Coco placed:

  • 3rd in 400m
  • 5th in 800m
  • 4th in 100m (new Personal Best)

The big event was the World Para Athletics Grand Prix in Nottwil where more than 450 athletes (297 men and 157 women) from 58 countries across all continents gathered in Switzerland. Coco placed 9th in the 800m, 11th in 400m and 13th in 100m. It was amazing experience for Coco to be racing against so many nationalities and other T34 competitors. The qualifying period has now started for the LA Paralympics and we wish Coco all the very best as she juggles her HSC and athletics commitments. 

 

Artistic Gymnastics

Congratulations to Bronte Garvan in Year 7 who competed at the NSW Gymnastics WAG State Championships. Bronte placed 7th overall in Level 9 which is a wonderful achievement at such a high level.

Bronte has been named as first reserve for the Australian Championships to be held later this year on the Gold Coast after missing the original cut by .033!! Keep chasing your dreams Bronte, we know you will get there.

 

Rhythmic Gymnastics

Congratulations to: Eloise Switajewski, Olivia Hung and Catherine Skamvougeras (Year 7, Level 5) for their participation at the MLC Invitational held on 31 May at MLC School in Burwood.

This was the first event for the gymnasts to compete in this year! Their performances were steady and clean, showing determination whilst competing alongside talented rhythmic gymnasts from several schools and clubs in Sydney. It was a great experience for all to grow in their competition experience.

Head Coach Rachel and the Rhythmic Gymnastics coaching team are pleased with the gymnasts’ perseverance performing on the floor with their ball and clubs routines!

 

Striders

Global Running Day is celebrated annually on the first Wednesday of June. It is a worldwide celebration dedicated to the sport of running, encouraging people of all ages and fitness levels to get active, promote health, and celebrate the community of runners. This is some of the SCEGGS Striders who were out and about on Wednesday 3 June celebrating.

The entire PDHPE completed their First Aid Certificate last week. We share some fun photos and a video as they go through the DRSABCD. First Aid and CPR is an invaluable skill that may one day save a life.
