Sailing
Well done to Isobel Payne (Year 11) who participated in the John Messenger Regatta at the CYCA recently. Held over three days, this is also the Australian Sailing Women’s Match Racing National Championships, and the field included two teams from New Zealand.
Isobel was “trimmer” with a young RSYS team. They had many close finishes in a variety of conditions and placed 6th overall. Isobel’s sister Gretel also competed (Class of 2021) and her team finished 2nd overall in a thrilling grand final series.
You can see some of the action with footage from the Cruising Yacht Club here.
Good luck to Isobel who will now travel to Tasmania to compete at the Open National Match Racing Championships.

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.
