Learn to Sail
On Monday afternoon we commenced our inaugural SCEGGS Learn to Sail lessons at Woollahra Sailing Club. This term we have 23 students enrolled in a Learn to Sail program and an additional 6 in the advanced group.
Under the watchful eye of qualified instructors from WSC, students were shown the parts of a “Pacer” sailing boat and run through various safety practices and basic techniques. Following this briefing, students were allowed to head out on the water in the Pacers and practice steering the boats in a light wind. The Woollahra instructors followed closely in speed boats whilst out on the water. A special shout to Grace Morrow (Year 11) who is part of the Woollahra coaching team and did an excellent job instructing. We look forward to watching everyone’s progress over the next 6 weeks.
Touch Football
We were blessed with wonderful weather to start the new term of Easts Touch on Saturday. We had lots of wins on the day. The SCEGGS Senior 1st team had a very close and exciting battle with Kambala before narrowly being defeated 5-4. Both the Senior 1st and Junior 1st teams debuted their popular new Touch Singlets that were designed by Emma Juneja.
