Armidale Netball and Hockey Tour                                                

At the end of the Term, 2 SCEGGS sent a squad of netball and hockey players to Armidale to compete at the PLC Armidale Invitational Carnival that was held at the Sport UNE Complex from Friday 18 to Saturday 19 June.

Sport on Pause

Unfortunately, all the Snowsports and Equestrian events scheduled for the holidays were unable to be held due to the evolving COVID situation.

All co-curricular sport and fitness is currently on hold until further notice. This includes all training, matches and representative fixtures including all NSWCIS and NSW All Schools events.

We will be in touch with details as soon as we are permitted to return to safely to organised activity. In the meantime, check out our online options on the Sport Cognito page that you can do from the safety of your own home.

If families have any sporting news and achievements please send details to alisongowan@sceggs.nsw.edu.au. We love hearing and seeing photos of what our students are doing outside of school.
