Secondary Sport
A special thank you to all players, coaches and parents for making this term such a successful season of sport. We are grateful for the dedication and commitment shown by everyone. It takes a community and SCEGGS does it well!
I am delighted to share the following sports news this week:
Finals Roundup
Congratulations to the following teams who played in finals.
Netball
SCEGGS had four powerhouse teams reach the finals:
- J07 – SCEGGS 7 were runners up to Loreto Normanhurst 15 (30-16)
- J09 – SCEGGS 8 defeated Abbotsleigh 19 (25 – 23)
- J10 – SCEGGS 9 were runners up to St Vincent’s 15 (16 – 23)
- Y708 SCEGGS 15 defeated Ascham 15 (18 – 10)
The mighty SCEGGS 15 Year 7 team continued their winning ways with a very spirited cheer squad of parents on the sidelines. The team was coached by SCEGGS Old Girls Anwen KIDSTON (2022) and Molly ESPIE (2024) who even donned their SCEGGS blazers for the occasion!
Football
S02 – SCEGGS 1 defeated Abbotsleigh 1 (1-0)
This was a particularly close match with both teams having chances to score throughout the game. Just as we all thought the match was going into extra time, a late goal to Piper Fincher in Year 12 secured the win. This was a fitting way to send out our seven Year 12 students who were playing their final games for SCEGGS. There was not a dry eye on the sidelines as everyone stayed behind after the game to soak up the SCEGGS sporting spirit one last time.
Basketball
J02 – SCEGGS 7 defeated Tara 4 (21 – 17)
Our Junior 1sts played a tough game to defeat Tara and show that the future is bright for SCEGGS Basketball with the talent pushing through the grades.
NSWCIS Athletics Championships
Congratulations to Coco Espie, Maddie Coutts and Stasia Serafin, who represented SCEGGS at the NSWCIS Athletics Championships on Tuesday. It was an exciting but also sentimental day, with Maddie and Stasia were competing at their first CIS Championships, while Coco took to the track for her final school Athletics competition. Despite the damp conditions making personal bests difficult to come by, all three students produced outstanding performances.
Stasia had a superb day on the track, claiming two gold medals with commanding victories in both the 100m and 200m.
Maddie competed strongly in the high jump, clearing each of her first three heights on her first attempt. She finished in 6th place, with a best clearance of 1.40m.
Coco competed in the combined Para events, which bring together athletes from a range of classifications. She finished her final school Athletics competition with an excellent set of results, winning gold in the 800m, bronze in the 200m, and finishing 4th in the 100m.
A wonderful day to finish a great season of Athletics in 2026 and three performances to be extremely proud of.
