Snowsports 2023
For those SCEGGS families who are thinking about participating in the SCEGGS Snowsports Team, now is the time to lock in your accommodation before it all books out. SCEGGS competes in the Sydney Region of Interschools to be held in Thredbo from July 10 – 14. The emphasis at the regional level is on participation so students do not need to be super quick. Students should however be capable of skiing or boarding down a blue run unassisted.
The competition is open to all students from Kindergarten through to Year 12. More information can be found in these links:
- Regional Interschools Snowsport Competition Championships Fact Sheet
- Event Schedule 2023
- Snow Australia Interschools
Please contact Alison Gowan if you would like to discuss further.
