Basketball
It is with great pride I write this article to let you all know that Term 2 of SCEGGS Basketball has concluded with our girls achieving one of the most successful seasons in SCEGGS history!
Across 11 teams, we achieved an outstanding record of 54 wins, 17 losses and 2 draws. Five of our teams (SCE04, 05, 06, 07 and 08) secured championships all finishing the season undefeated! This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our players and the exceptional guidance of our coaches.
We extend a special mention to parents and supporters whose enthusiasm and unwavering support have strengthened the bond within our community.
As we turn our focus to Term 3, we anticipate more demanding competitions ahead as all our teams progress to higher grade divisions. Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday break and looking forward to seeing you all in July.

Touch
On Tuesday, 18 June, six Year 11 students participated in the NSW Touch Mixed Tournament at Waterworth Park, Earlwood, alongside eight Cranbrook students. This regular event in our Touch calendar offers a valuable opportunity to play touch in a different format and to foster relationships with other local schools, promoting mixed sports opportunities.
The students enjoyed a day of play and improvement with each game, despite having limited time to gel as a team. Although missing out on the quarter-finals was disappointing, everyone had a fantastic day. Sport fosters a unique bond, and we witnessed the team grow more connected as the day progressed, enhancing their skills, confidence, teamwork, and communication. The team effectively played to their strengths, and we must say, the girls certainly showed the boys a thing or two about touch!
Gymnastics
Well done to Alexa Falzon (Year 8) and Annalise Zimmerle (Year 9) who competed in the Level 7 WAG at the Inner-City Regional Gymnastics Competition on the weekend.
Alexa placed 1st overall after coming 1st on vault, 1st on beam, 2nd on floor and 3rd on bars.
Cross Country
Well done to Annabelle Jessup (Year 8) who competed at the NSW Cross Country Championships in Nowra last weekend. Annabelle finished the 4km course in 7th place so has now qualified to represent NSW at the Nationals in August in Tasmania.
Snowsports
Good luck to the SCEGGS Snowsports team who will be competing at various ski races over the holiday break. SCEGGS has 42 students who will contest the Redlands Cup, Scots Cup and Sydney Region Interschools races that will be held across Thredbo and Perisher.
Hockey
Well done to Audrey Rivers (Year 9) who represented Lithgow at the NSW U’16 Girls Hockey State Championships in Bathurst on the weekend.
Jess Weatherall (Year 10) represented SEHA who placed 4th in div 1 – after a heartbreaking 0-1 loss in the semi-final.
