Paris Olympics
Congratulations to Sienna Green (Class of 2022) on winning an Olympic Silver Medal for the Stingers Water Polo team! We are all so very proud of this incredible achievement.
Touch
Well done to the following students who competed at the NSW All Schools Touch Finals that were held at St Mary’s on Tuesday: Bella Campbell (Year 9), Jaime Currell (Year 9), Olivia Davis (Year 10), Marni Hootman (Year 9), Lola Hush (Year 10), Sadie Juneja (Year 10), Summer McCarthy (Year 10), Helena O’Brien (Year 10), Rosie Pallett (Year 9), Alexa Silverton (Year 9), Chloe Silverton (Year 9), Annaliese Stackpool (Year 10), Lily Stafford (Year 10) and Ava Weekes (Year 10).
The team competed against some of the best teams for their age in NSW over 6 rounds and placed 3rd in their pool. They narrowly missed out on the finals after some close matches against Hunter Sports High and St John’s Dubbo in particular.
The team should be extremely proud of the effort, camaraderie, sportsmanship, and unwavering determination that everyone displayed. We can’t wait until the touch season starts in Term 4.

SCEGGS Around the Grounds
Students Driving to Sport
As more of our students are gaining their driver’s licences, it is timely to remind everyone that no student is to drive another student to or from school, sports training sessions or matches, or any other co-curricular event or activity.
Due to safety concerns, particularly those associated with inexperienced drivers, we strongly encourage all students to use the buses provided to and from sporting venues.
Please refer to page 18 of the SCEGGS School Diary.
