Sport News
It was very pleasing to see Saturday sport resume last weekend. Thank you to all families for following all the guidelines and supporting the various competitions so well. Whilst not ideal, this appears to be the “new normal” for now. We are just grateful to have some form of competition running presently. We will update you if there are any changes as the competition progresses.
Each school is different in how they operate so please be respectful of staff from other schools as they implement their school procedures. Some schools may have additional rules in place, particularly for larger venues e.g. drop off zones. Could I also ask all parents to keep their phones handy in case of injury or any emergency and we need to contact you urgently.
We are looking forward to the Primary School commencing their competition this weekend and wish everyone well in their respective matches.
Absent from Sport
A reminder that if any students are planning to be absent from Saturday sport, parents are required to request permission from Ms Allum (Secondary) and Mrs Dempsey (Primary). Students are expected to notify their coach and Sports Co-ordinator if they will miss training at any stage.
SCEGGS Long Weekend – August 17
A reminder that all students are still expected to play their Saturday morning sports fixtures over the SCEGGS Long Weekend. It is the school expectation that all girls will honour their commitments to their teams.
Netball Specialist Training Sessions
We have started specialist Netball training sessions with some of our elite level coaches every Friday morning from 6:45am – 8am in the Sports Hall.
These sessions are in addition to the regular team training sessions. This week will focus on MID COURT PLAYERS so if you play C, WA or WD we would love to see you all attend. Mrs McAllan will send out the link each week for everyone to sign up so students are asked to check their emails.
It was great to see several our Shooters attending the specialist session on Friday, they worked very hard and found the session most valuable.
