Rhythmic Gymnastics
Congratulations to:
- Candice Li (Year 4, level 4)
- Natalia Adrian (Year 7, Level 4)
- Eloise Switajewski, Olivia Hung and Catherine Skamvougeras (Year 7, Level 5)
for their participation at the Aurora Winter Cup held on 9 August at Aurora Gymnastics in Kirrawee.
Their performances showed determination whilst competing alongside talented rhythmic gymnasts from several schools and clubs in Sydney. It was a great experience for all to grow in their competition experience.
Head Coach Rachel, Coach Madison (SCEGGS old girl) and the Rhythmic Gymnastics coaching team were very pleased with the gymnasts’ resilience performing on the floor with their hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon routines!

Commitment to SCEGGS Co-Curricular Activities
Regular physical activity is an essential part of promoting positive health and well-being. Building relationships, fostering sportsmanship and teamwork is another element to co-curricular sport. We expect full commitment to all co-curricular sporting activities at SCEGGS. Students should be respectful of the impact that any absence has on team sport: their teammates, the opposition, the coach, and the reputation of the school.
Students are expected to be fully committed and attend all scheduled training sessions, trials and matches.
All absences must be communicated to the relevant department using the following guidelines:
- Parents and guardians are to request written permission for leave from Ms Gyton (Secondary) or Mrs Dempsey (Primary) at least a week in advance from a sporting fixture or Saturday trial e.g. Year 12 student attending a University Open Day
- If a student is sick on a Saturday, a parent/guardian must email or message the relevant coach and Sport Coordinator, or Director of Sport, prior to the match explaining the absence.
- If a student is unable to attend a weekday training or trial session, the student, or a parent, is to notify the relevant Sports Co-ordinator as soon as possible on the day.
- In case of a clash with school co-curricular activities e.g. Musicale, Sports Training, Duke of Ed Hike, the student is to liaise with both Co-ordinators to negotiate an acceptable outcome.
Failure to adhere to the above guidelines in the secondary school will result in:
- A detention for any unexplained absences from a competition match.
- A penalty point for any unexplained absence from training or trial sessions.
- A penalty point for late arrival to more than 2 training sessions or matches in the same term.
- If a student’s attendance is deemed unsatisfactory, they will be ineligible for house points and recognition on reports.
