Secondary Sport News

Sport got off to a slow start last weekend with all Tennis, Softball and Soccer being cancelled due to the wild weather.

Water Polo

In very wet and windy conditions, the SCEGGS Year 7 team enjoyed a successful game of Water Polo last Saturday by defeating St Catherine’s 10 – 1.  What started as light drizzle quickly turned into heavy driving rain. A big thank you to all the parents who braved the elements to support the girls at Sutherland Leisure Centre. The team is coached by Rio Olympian George Ford who is a current member of the Australian Water Polo Team training for the Tokyo Olympics.

Secondary Swimming Carnival

We have rescheduled the Secondary Swimming Carnival for March 13 at Drummoyne Swimming Pool.

If any students would like to be considered for the SCEGGS team to compete at the IGSSA Championships on March 6 you need to send in current Swimming NSW times to Ms Gowan or come along on Friday February 14 to be timed at the MLC Invitational Carnival. All students have been emailed details, a list of events and the permission form.

Olympic Sailing Qualifiers

Good luck to Sylvie Stannage who is competing at the 2020 World Laser Radial Championships in Melbourne from Feb 21 – 28. These Championships also double as the Olympic Qualifiers for the Tokyo Olympics. We wish Sylvie every success.

Modern Pentathlon

Congratulations to SCEGGS Old girl Marina CARRIER (Class of 2014) who has been selected to compete at the Tokyo Olympics in Modern Pentathlon. We are thrilled to see Marina realise her dream after great sacrifices and hard work over the past 10 years.
