Secondary Swimming Carnival
Last Friday the Secondary Swimming Carnival finally went ahead after being washed out earlier in the year. We were blessed with a lovely sunny day and a wonderful day of swimming. Whilst the emphasis is on participation at of all our school carnivals, there was some outstanding swimming with several school records broken on the day.
A special mention to Claudia Quinn who broke the 13 years 50m freestyle record (held by our very own Ms Carter of course!) three times in the same day by saving her fastest time for the final event by winning the Open Invitational 50m freestyle!
The full list of age champions and prize winners is here.

Laser Radial World Championships (Sailing)
Congratulations to Sylvie Stannage who competed at the Laser Radial World Championships earlier this month. Sylvie raced against the best sailors in the world as they attempted to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. Despite coming into the championships recovering from a shoulder injury she placed a very credible 85th overall in what were strong windy conditions that required a lot of strength. Her best result was 17th overall in one of the races which came at the back end of the competition when fatigue generally sets in.
Sylvie enjoyed her world championships experience and the opportunity to learn from the best in the world. We look forward to following her journey post SCEGGS and hopefully we might see her at the Paris Olympics in 2024! In the meantime it is back to studying for the HSC for Sylvie as most sporting events are now put on hold.
