Well done also to the SCEGGS 4 team who were runners up in J04 after a close fought Grand Final against PLC Sydney.
Down south in Hurstville the SCEGGS 4 (Year 7) team played their final match of the season against St Vincent’s. Well done to all players who participated in the Water Polo competition.
Good luck to Claudia Quinn (Year 11) who is attending the Australian Water Polo camp at the AIS in Canberra this week as part of the Australian Cadet Squad. We trust that this will be a wonderful learning experience.
Equestrian
Good luck to all the SCEGGS Equestrian riders who will be competing at the NSW All Schools Equestrian Championships in the holidays:
- Scarlett Webber (Year 8)
- Hannah Doolan (Year 9)
- Maggie-Rose Dunlop (Year 12)
- Chloe Copp (Year 12)

Cricket
Well done to Elspeth Herbert (Year 8) and Marnie Flett (Year 8) who both competed recently in the NSW Youth Cricket Championships.
Elspeth was Vice-Captain for North Shore and contributed strongly with the bat and as wicket keeper in a nail-biting semi-final loss.
Marnie captained the Inner West team to win the NSW U13 Mollie Dive Shield and took three wickets in the final. It’s the first time that Inner West Harbour has won the shield since the competition began in 1998.
