Parent / Daughter Camps

Just a reminder that with the upcoming parent/daughter camps for Years 4, 7, 9 & 11 in November, all students are required to still fulfil their Saturday morning sporting commitments. Please refer to page 33 of the school diary regarding this rule. There will be consequences for failing to attend prior sporting commitments.

IGSA Gymnastics Championships

The IGSA Gymnastics Championships were held last Friday for the first time since 2019. The competition was split at both Abbotsleigh School (Rhythmic) and PLC Sydney (Artistic). There was lots of sportsmanship on display from all participating schools and officials. At both venues there was a supportive and encouraging environment with lots of cheering and some excellent gymnastics on display. Congratulations on all the competitors who represented SCEGGS.

We are still waiting on official results from IGSA and our Gymnastics Captain Madison Liew will tell us more about the event in next week’s Green Gate.

Easts Touch

SCEGGS has been doing exceptionally well in the Eastern Suburbs Touch Competition which girls play in every Saturday morning. Last weekend we had an overall 8 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses across both senior and junior teams which is an amazing result for SCEGGS. It’s really great to see the SCEGGS community including families and friends coming together every weekend with girls enjoying the opportunity to play with their friends in the warm weather! Luckily, we have been able to play all 3 rounds this term, unlike term 1 which was completely washed out by the rain.

The Senior First team had an outstanding game against top of the table team, Kincoppal Rose Bay, who we beat 5 – 2 last weekend. As well as the junior first teams round 1 game being a 12 – 0 win. These results are super encouraging and are continually improving as the weeks progress. The involvement and commitment to touch at SCEGGS is strong and important, seeing many girls keen to play multiple games and help one another out. In particular Year 8s: Ruby Hughes, Summer McCarthy and Lola Hush who played three games last weekend as well as others who supported teams short on players. 

The determination and passion among many SCEGGS girls for the sport is exciting to see. We are seeing many more girls get involved in representative teams and competitions to improve their skills and use in the SCEGGS touch program. Including, Lily Cooney (Year 8) who played excellently in the senior firsts in round 2 of the competition, being a great asset to the team. Every girl should be proud of their efforts so far this season and it’s exciting to see SCEGGS touch growing stronger each term.
