Netball
Congratulations to Eve Tawfik (Year 7) and Alice Barnett (Year 8) who competed at the Netball NSW Junior State Titles over the holidays. The Netball NSW Junior State Titles is a three day tournament within the Netball NSW pathway that showcases the strength of grassroots netball with young players from all over the state coming together.
Eve was the captain of her team and represented St George District Netball Association in the U13s age division, who finished 10th in their division. Alice represented Inner West Netball Association in the U14s age division, who finished 8th in their division.
Term 3 Netball got off to a challenging start last Saturday with our top netball teams all going down.
SCEGGS 1 faced tough competition and were defeated 49-33 by Brigidine College. The SCEGGS 4 (Junior 1sts) also faced stiff competition and were defeated 44-26 by Abbotsleigh. While the Year 7 1sts faced a strong Frensham team. Onwards and upwards for next week.

Football
In the school holidays six SCEGGS girls represented their respective team in Canberra at the Kanga Cup. The following students competed in the U14 division: Louisa Brooks (Year 9), Macy Barnett (Year 9), Tully Greiner-Sharp (Year 8), Diya Shankar (Year 8) Grace Evans (Year 7) and Rosie Wong (Year 7).
Despite the cold conditions, Louisa, Macy, Tully, Diya, and Grace represented the Easts team with great determination. Easts won their first three matches of the tournament and narrowly missed out on a place in the finals. A highlight of their campaign was defeating the team that went on to win the overall tournament.
Rosie Wong (Year 7) represented the APIA team, who enjoyed an outstanding tournament. APIA remained undefeated throughout the group stage to progress to the knockout rounds, eventually reaching the semi-finals where they were edged out 1–0.
Overall, the tournament was a huge success for SCEGGS girls which created lots of memorable experience they will cherish for life.
