Sydney Interschools Snowsports – July 5 -9 at Thredbo
If any families are wishing to join the SCEGGS Snowsports Team for 2021 there is still time to sign up. I will be finalising the team over the next two weeks. Events are open to all girls from Kindergarten through to Year 12. The emphasis is on participation and fun. Competitors do not need to be outstanding skiers or snowboarders, just capable of getting down a “blue run” unassisted.
Families will travel to Thredbo and arrange their own accommodation/lift passes. Families will be responsible for students at all times. I will organise all teams and parent team managers prior to the competition and will be onsite during the competition to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Students will compete in their school year groups:
Division 1 – Years 11 & 12
Division 2 – Years 9 & 10
Division 3 – Years 7 & 8
Division 4 – Years 5 & 6
Division 5 – Year 3 & 4
Division 6 – Years K-2
Competitors and Managers will have access to discounted lift passes for their day of competition only. You should book any additional tickets and accommodation immediately if you haven’t done so already.
More information can be found on the Interschools website.
I will be sending out further information to families who have already signed up over the next week.

Australian Track and Field Championships
Well done to Laura Roderick who represented NSW at the Australian Track and Field Championships over the holidays. Despite a foot injury preventing Laura from training in the 4 weeks leading up to the Nationals last week, Laura still competed and was very competitive. She made the U’20 1500m final, placing 7th and was 9th fastest in the U’20 800m.
If families have any sporting news and achievements, please send details to alisongowan@sceggs.nsw.edu.au. We love hearing about what our students are doing outside of school.
