Congratulations Coco Espie

A big shout out to Coco Espie (Year 8) who was recently honoured at the 2022 Randwick City Council Sporting Excellence Awards. Coco has had a successful year representing SCEGGS at both the IGSA Swimming and Athletics Championships. Coco was also selected to represent IGSA at the NSWCIS Athletics Championships.

It is on the Athletics track where Coco has truly excelled this year as she competed at NSW All Schools and Australian Junior Championships. She is the current Australian record holder in her category in discus, shotput and various track events. You can read more about Coco’s achievements in the article link below.

A further shout out to Amy Parmenter (Class of 2015) who was also recognised with an award. See the article here.

SCEGGS Water Polo

SCEGGS has had an exceptional season so far in the IGSA Water Polo competition. The competition is played every Saturday at various locations and requires the dedicated SCEGGS players and coaches to attend 2 trainings per week. This weekend we had 1 loss, 1 draw and 1 win across all SCEGGS teams.

Starting with the Senior Firsts who played Meriden, our girls went down 7-9, in a tough battle. Although the girls were losing 2-5 in the second quarter, we put together our best SCEGGS spirit and teamwork and made a great comeback.

Next the Senior Seconds – this team have proven the point that practice does indeed make perfect. Throughout the season this team have supported each other through thick and thin and have now made connections enabling them to enhance their skills and move forward together as a team. The girls had a fantastic game this weekend, coming away with a 13-5 win against St Catherine’s.

The Junior Firsts have had an outstanding season so far and show good promise for the future of SCEGGS water polo. This weekend the girls were narrowly defeated by Stella Maris College 8-3. This game was a tough battle the whole way through, and just shows that when times get hard, SCEGGS girls just keep fighting. A special shoutout must go to Ruby Peters (Year 7), who is always helping her teammates and constantly demonstrates SCEGGS spirit on and off the field.

It is so amazing to see SCEGGS girls hop into the water and give their all in the games. It shows the true passion of all the girls, and their teamwork is shown through their commitment and involvement to the sport.

One thing all the girls have learnt throughout the season is that the result doesn’t matter. You either win or learn, you never lose. Every SCEGGS girl should be so incredibly proud of themselves, the amount of courage, dedication and ambition shown through their efforts towards the sport is amazing. I look forward to seeing the sport grow and develop in the future.
