SCEGGS Mid Term Break
With our impending SCEGGS Mid Term break coming up on Monday 14 August, it is timely to remind everyone that most sporting teams still have fixtures on the Saturday. All students are required to play their scheduled matches.
IGSA Saturday Sport
This term we have the IGSA Basketball, Football, Netball and Hockey competitions in action. You can access all the results, ladder, and fixtures via the IGSA website.
Please arrive 30 mins prior to the start of each match. All students are to wear only SCEGGS sports clothing. Students will be asked to remove any non-SCEGGS clothing.
A final reminder that any requests for absence from Saturday sporting matches need to be submitted in writing by a parent to Ms Allum.
NSW All Schools Cross Country
Well done to our SCEGGS competitors who produced outstanding results at the NSW All Schools Cross Country Championships that were held at Eastern Creek.
A special congratulations to Nancy Newton (Year 9) who placed 2nd in the 15 years age group and Ruby Fry (Year 10) placed 4th in the 16 years age group.
Congratulations to Lily Cooney (Year 9), Matilda Emanual (Year 9), Ruby Fry (Year 10) and Nancy Newton (Year 9) who will all be representing NSW at the Australian Cross Country Championships to be held in Canberra on 26 August.
FIFA Women’s World Cup
As the Matildas have progressed through the round games, the SCEGGS “live” site in the Old Gym and is proving to be very popular. Students from both Primary and Secondary year groups have been enjoying watching the matches in live time, and some exciting replays. The Foosball and Table Tennis tables have also been getting a good workout during this time.
The SCEGGS World Cup Knockout Challenge will start next week during lunchtimes. We have teams signed up across Years 7 -11. Look out for an email from Mr Crawford regarding the match schedule.
Please send in any “selfies” from attending any World Cup matches, live sites, or showing your support from your lounge room, to be included in the Green Gate and on the Sport TV.
Beach Touch Skills
This term we have 35 students enrolled in Beach Touch skills. Students meet with Ms Thompson at North Bondi Beach on Tuesday mornings and the sessions are proving to be a real hit. As well as an early morning fitness session, students are brushing up and improving their Touch Skills in preparation for the Term 4 Easts Touch Competition. Check out the gallery below and this video.
Do you have any sporting news or photos to share in the Green Gate?
We love seeing our students being active and want to celebrate their passion and enjoyment amongst the SCEGGS community. Please send in any action shots from the weekend and any other interesting sporting highlights to Alison Gowan (Please ensure that photos are of your daughters only. We are unable to publish photos of non SCEGGS students without parental permission).
