From Ms Gyton

This week in Assembly, we watched a Bluey episode called Cricket – it is one of my favourites! If you haven’t seen it, I encourage you to take seven minutes out of your day to see what it’s all about on ABC iView. This episode is a story about a kid called Rusty and some of the challenges and experiences he has on the way to being a good cricketer.

In one part of the episode, Rusty receives some advice from his dad about a particular challenge he is facing:

” … As you grow up, you’ll face harder things than a cricket ball and you’ll have two choices: Back away and get out … or step in front and play a pull shot.”

Parents play such a big role in helping their children to make this choice and helping them develop the courage to take a deep breath and try something challenging or new. And so do teachers!

So as we approach World Teachers’ Day on Friday, I wanted to say thank you to all the teachers, near and far, who helped us all learn just how to step in front, face the challenge and play that pull shot!

Perhaps I am a little biased here …. But I think teaching is one of society’s most important professions. Behind every other profession, entrepreneur or artist sits a group of teachers who helped that person learn, grow and believe in themselves. This impact extends far beyond the school years in ways that are impossible to measure.

Great teachers work little by little and as a team, to inspire curiosity, build confidence, nurture character, and help young people grow. Every day, they balance the intellectual, emotional, and social needs of their students, striving for classrooms that help all students experience both challenge and success.

Are they perfect? Of course not – there is no such thing in human beings! And teaching, just like parenting, is the work of one generation of human beings growing the next one … it requires expertise, patience, energy and creativity. It requires persistence and a vision for the long term, not just the here and now. Much of what teachers do happens quietly and often unseen: the careful preparation, the thoughtful feedback or the countless small acts of care.

For me, that is why saying “thank you” matters. So thank you to all the great teachers out there! Thank you for all the work that is visible and invisible. Thank you for the time, energy and care you put in each day. And a special thank you to my Maths teacher, Chris, all those years ago (who even made me bring my homework to the swimming carnival to make sure I caught up under her watchful eye).

Next time you’re stuck in the traffic, or waiting to pick up a coffee, pause for a moment and think back to your time as a school student. Who was that teacher for you? Perhaps they were the one who recognised your potential before you saw it yourself, or kept encouraging you when you really struggled, or changed your mind about how much you loved a subject … or had some magic words at just the right moment. Long after we have forgotten an exam result, a tricky assignment or a busy calendar, we remember the teachers who were there with us and helped us along the way.

Thank you to all the teachers out there on World Teachers’ Day!

SCEGGS Annual Giving Day, 12 November 2026

Now in its fifth year, Giving Day has become a valued tradition within the SCEGGS community and an important part of the Light Her Path campaign.

This year, funds raised will support the expansion of the SCEGGS Scholarship Program into the Primary School, including the development of the Jenny Allum Scholarships, which will create Indigenous and Equity Scholarship opportunities for local students. 

As part of our celebrations on Giving Day, all students K-11 are invited to wear plain clothes and are asked to bring a gold coin donation. A BBQ lunch will be held for all students and staff in their Houses to continue the celebrations!

If you would like to hear more about how you can support our scholarship program on Giving Day 2026, please contact the Development Office.

From the Chaplain

There is lots of stuff happening as we get closer to the end of the year. There is a large amount of information but I would rather you be aware and I will leave it up to you what you do with it all!!

• Festival of Lessons and Carols
• Christmas Gifts Collection
• “Mr Lee-Lindsay needs NEW socks and undies”
• Christmas Hampers
• Monday Food Delivery

Festival of Lessons and Carols

If going to a carols service is part of your Christmas planning then have I got something for you! Our Festival of Lessons and Carols is being held this year on Thursday 26 November at 7:00pm in the Great Hall.  Everyone in and connected to our community is warmly invited as we celebrate the joy and meaning of Christmas. We take a collection at this service every year and the money donated always goes towards a local charity (which we will be announcing next week). I hope to see you there!

Christmas Gifts Collection

As part of our annual school Christmas service, we ask each student to contribute towards a gift for either a boy or a girl, wrapped in cellophane, to donate to the Vinnie’s Community Centre in Redfern. These gifts will be distributed to children who may not otherwise receive anything at Christmas due to poverty or other family issues. Unfortunately, we have seen a greater demand each year due to the unsettling times that many families face due to financial pressure and housing stresses.  The feedback that we receive is that these gifts make a huge difference to children throughout our city, giving them the message that they are loved and cared for. We will be receiving those gifts up until Friday 27 November. More information will be delivered to students via their Form or class teachers.

“Mr Lee-Lindsay needs NEW Socks and Undies”

For those new to our community I would like to introduce you to our socks and undies drive. There are a number of welfare organisations that are always asking for NEW socks and undies for their clientele. This is a serious issue amongst the homeless in terms of hygiene and good foot care. It is a whole school activity and we would love to receive a variety of sizes for boys and girls, men and women. There is a basket outside the Chapel where all donations can be delivered. I will be taking the items to various locations in the last week of school. 

Christmas Hampers

This year we have been asked if we can provide Christmas hampers to two different organisations: Lou’s Place (a daytime drop in centre for women in crisis) and the St Vincents Hospital Drug and Alcohol Service. For Lou’s Place, Year 8 are collecting toiletry items to create their hampers. These can include products such as (but not limited to):

• Body wash/lotion
• Deodorant
• Shampoo
• Conditioner
• Tissues
• Tampons
• Pads
• Hand wash
• Hand sanitizer
• Toothpaste
• Toothbrushes
• Sunscreen
• Hairbrushes
• Hair ties
• Perfume/body spray
• Band-Aids 
• Lip balms

For the Drug and Alcohol Service, we are creating hampers with small food items (Christmas pudding or cake, cup of soups, fruit cups, small packets of biscuits or crackers). Food that can melt (e.g. chocolate) is not recommended as many of the clientele are homeless. All of the items for both collections can be placed in the basket outside of the chapel or dropped into my office. We will be putting the hampers together in the second last week of school.

Monday Food Delivery

And finally, a massive thankyou to all of those people who have continually prepared and brought in food for our Monday food delivery. Its very hard for me to explain how much of a difference this makes to many people’s lives. There are still a few spots that need to be filled for the rest of the term and I would like to try and stock up a few of the places that I deliver too to see them through the summer period. Here is the link with all of the information. We are receiving 100 meals each month from “My Muscle Chef” to donate to local charities. Their support is also making a big difference within the current food shortage of the underprivileged.

Many Thanks
Rev. Garry Lee-Lindsay
School Chaplain

Festival of Speech 2026

As the jacarandas bloom, SCEGGS’ public speakers and debaters prepare for the IGSA Festival of Speech and this year was no exception.  This year’s festival was large, with debating and a range of public speaking events being held. 

Friday night debating was hosted at Meriden and our two teams proceeded to the quarter finals on Saturday.  The Junior Team made it to the Quarter-Final where they were unfortunately knocked out, but spoke excellently.  The Senior Debaters were runners-up in the Grand Final, an outstanding result!

Saturday’s events were held at PLC Sydney. Our Junior speakers (Years 7-9) were:

• Charlotte Randall (Year 8) – Soapbox
• Violet Pendlebury-Simmons (Year 7) – Poetry
• Siena Walsh (Year 8) – Public Speaking
• Sarah Yun (Year 9) – Reading

The Junior Team won their division, placing first overall in each section listed above. Individual results were:

• Siena Walsh – third
• Sarah Yun – second
• Violet Pendlebury-Simmons – first.

Congratulations to our Junior Speakers – we very proud of you all!

Over in the Senior Division we were represented by:

Individual Sections

• Jessica Gallie (Year 11) – Public Speaking
• Josie Grayden (Year 11)  – Soapbox
• Olivia Phillips (Year 10) – Poetry
• Isha Singh (Year 11) – Reading 

Religious and Ethical Questions Team

• Ava Dua (Year 11)
• Giulia Peroni (Year 11)
• Harriet Christie (Year 11)

Current Affairs Team

• Isobel Weston (Year 10)
• Josephine Hatherall (Year 10)
• Scarlett White (Year 11)

Jessica Gallie and Josie Grayden both placed third in their divisions. 

Overall, SCEGGS came a close second to Abbotsleigh. 

The Festival of Speech is a team event and every speaker, whether they place or not, contributes to the overall result so thank you and congratulations to all. 

A huge thank you to Dynielle Whitney, Suvini Kottegoda and the debating coaches for preparing and organising the Debaters and Religious and Ethical Questions teams.  It is a huge amount of work and without everyone coming together, we wouldn’t be able to do it.

Debating Trials for Years 8-10 (2027 Teams)

With growing interest in debating at SCEGGS, we are bringing the Year 8-10 debating trials forward to Term 4 to support team selection ahead of the 2027 season. Trials for Year 6 and Year 7 students will continue to take place in early Term 1, 2027.

These trials are for students wishing to represent SCEGGS in debating competitions during 2027, including ISDA, Eastside and Archdale.

This means:

• Current Year 7 students will be trialling for Year 8 teams in 2027
• Current Year 8 students will be trialling for Year 9 teams in 2027
• Current Year 9 students will be trialling for Year 10 teams in 2027

We warmly encourage all interested students to trial, whether they are completely new to debating or already have experience. Debating is a wonderful opportunity to develop confidence, critical thinking, public speaking and teamwork skills, and we welcome students of all abilities to get involved.

Trial Dates

Current Year 7 students (Year 8 in 2027)
– Monday 9 November, 3.15pm-5.00pm (W34)

Current Year 8 and Year 9 students (Years 9 and 10 in 2027)
– Monday 16 November, 3.15pm-5.00pm (W34)

Students should attend the trial date for their year group. If your child is unable to attend, please contact the Debating Coordinator.

Registrations

Registrations are completed by parents and carers through Clipboard and close at 5.30pm on Monday 2 November.

The registration can be found in the Activity Selection tab on Clipboard.

Competition Preferences

As part of the registration process, parents and carers will be asked to nominate their preferred debating competition(s) for 2027. While every effort will be made to accommodate preferences, placement in a particular competition cannot be guaranteed. Information about each competition is included below:

ISDA (Independent Schools Debating Association)

ISDA is a  highly competitive competition involving independent schools from across Sydney. The competition begins in February 2027 and offers students the opportunity to debate against a wide range of schools and opponents.

Eastside Debating

Eastside is a local inter-school competition involving schools from Sydney’s eastern suburbs. Commencing in late February 2027, Eastside provides a competitive debating environment within a smaller and more localised competition structure.

Archdale Debating

This is a girls-only competition held on Tuesday evenings, involving independent girls’ schools from across Sydney. Archdale offers students the opportunity to compete against a broad range of schools within a female debating environment.

Transport and Logistics

For all competitions, buses are provided for students to depart SCEGGS after school and travel to the host school.

• Return buses are generally provided for competitions involving schools outside the Eastern Suburbs.
• Eastside fixtures typically provide a one-way bus only, with parents and carers responsible for collection from the host school.
• Students travelling on return buses generally arrive back at SCEGGS between 8.30pm and 9.00pm, depending on traffic and venue location.
• Parents and carers are welcome to collect students directly from venues.
• Fixture information, venue maps and travel details are published on Clipboard throughout the season.

What to Expect

Students will be placed into teams on the day and will receive their debate topic at the beginning of the preparation period, so no prior preparation is required.

The afternoon will include:

• A preparation period with teammates
• A formal debate adjudicated by experienced debating coaches
• Opportunities for students to demonstrate their reasoning, communication and teamwork skills

The Selection Process

To ensure a fair and consistent process, each debate will be adjudicated by a panel of coaches using standard debating criteria. Following the trials, results will be reviewed carefully before teams are selected for the 2027 season.

Students who participate in the trials may also request individual feedback after teams have been announced.

Important Information

Students should bring:

• A pen and paper
• A water bottle

Please note that this is a no-devices event, and mobile phones and laptops should not be used during the trials.

We look forward to welcoming students to the trials and wish all participants the very best.

Drama News

Twelfth Night – Week 6

“If music be the food of love, play on” is but one phrase we readily associate with the iconic works of William Shakespeare. His dialogue is so much a part of our lexicon, whether we’re aware or not. It can be most surprising to discover that an everyday expression we use was first uttered in a play penned by the Bard of Stratford on Avon. We have much to celebrate in the gift of his repertoire of plays – language, lessons and the most vivid of characters and narrative.

In choosing a Shakespeare offering for our second production of the year, we didn’t have to ponder for long. Twelfth Night is one of his most endearing works, with its mix of madness and mayhem, mistaken identity, broad comedy and touching pathos. It is a perfect project on which to unleash the imaginations, talents and wit of our young band of actors.

At the top of the play, Count Orsino waxes lyrical of music, love and play in his poetic musings. He, and Shakespeare are signalling to us the story to unfold; a narrative made from the good things in life … especially the food!

Mr Stephen Colyer is our esteemed director, and he leads a phenomenal creative team who have guided the company with such joy and talent as theatre-makers.

We’re thrilled too that our production will feature the “food of love” in the guise of the Emma Pask Jazz Band, led by Mr Matt Moore. These music students are a wonderful addition to the talents on board in this show. Gee we are fortunate at SCEGGS!

Twelfth Night plays St Peter’s Playhouse on:

• Wednesday 18 November @ 7pm
• Thursday 19 November @ 7pm
• Friday 20 November @ 7pm
• Saturday 21 November @ 1pm

Bookings open Monday 9 November.

See you in Illyria!

Music Matters

Congratulations to Caitlin Cameron

Congratulations to Caitlin Cameron (Year 11), who has been awarded her Associate in Music, Australia (AMusA) diploma in piano.

Awarded by the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB), the AMusA is a prestigious qualification recognising musical achievement beyond Grade 8. It requires advanced technical skill, expressive and stylistically informed playing, and a sophisticated understanding of the music performed.

Guest Musicians working with Amati Strings

Amati Strings was incredibly fortunate to work with violinist Harry Bennetts, Associate Concertmaster of the Sydney Symphony and cellist Eliza Sdraulig from the Australian Chamber Orchestra in rehearsal last week.

Miranda Lin in Year 10 will be a featured soloist accompanied by Amati Strings performing Summer from The Four Seasons by Vivaldi for the Festival of Lessons and Carols services later this term. This beautiful piece features a busy continuo part.

Year 10 cellists Elizabeth Teoh and Georgina Auld worked closely with Eliza and Ms Stephanie Holmes to learn this. Harry and Eliza have a wealth of experience in performance with both symphony orchestras and chamber music.

It was wonderful for the Amati Strings musicians to sit alongside these virtuosic professional musicians and be guided and inspired by them! Harry and Eliza play in Chroma String Quartet, and they look forward to returning to SCEGGS in 2027 with the other two members of the quartet to perform to and play alongside our secondary string players.

Year 9 SCEGGS and Sydney Grammar Trivia Night

Last term Year 9 had the opportunity to participate in a Trivia Night with Sydney Grammar School. SCEGGS and Grammar students came together to test their knowledge, work as teams and enjoy a memorable night with friends from across the schools. There were 13 mixed gender teams with about 10 students in each allowing us to get to know each other.

The night was full of exciting trivia questions that challenged everyone’s knowledge and encouraged students to work together. There were plenty of laughs, great teamwork and some interesting answers along the way. The variety of questions meant that everyone had the opportunity to contribute something, whether it was knowledge of music, sport, pop culture or general knowledge.

Everyone enjoyed a range of tasty food options throughout the evening, including pizza, fruit salad and Callipo ice blocks. The food was a great addition to the night and helped keep everyone energised and ready for round two of trivia.

One of the highlights of the evening was the no-phone rule. With phones put away, we had the chance to connect with one another and enjoy being fully involved in the trivia without distractions. This encouraged more conversations and funny moments between everyone.

During table discussions there were some debates on the right answers which was fun to hear from everyone about their ideas and opinions. These moments added to the excitement and made the competition even more entertaining, especially when teams were convinced, they had the right answer!

One of the trivia questions asked, involved a make-shift Zara Larsson concert which was performed by the Grammar prefects including the viral Lush Life dance. This was definitely a moment to remember from the night involving lots of laughs and mild second-hand embarrassment on our part. It brought plenty of energy to the room and was a great example of how the night went beyond simply answering questions.

Our trivia night was a fantastic evening filled with fun, laughter, teamwork and friendly competition. A big thank you to everyone who helped organise the event and made the night so enjoyable!

Secondary Sport

In Secondary School sports news this week read about:

• Term 1 2027 Sports Nominations
• Sport During Exam Week for Years 7-10
• Benefits of Exercise and Physical Activity
• IGSA Gymnastics
• Touch
• Water Polo

• IGSA Fixtures, Results and Wet Weather

Term 1, 2027 Sports Nominations

Activity Selection for Term 1 2027 Sport will open at 12:00 pm on Friday 30 October, in Clipboard.

To assist in the planning of all Sport for Term 1, we ask that current parents / carers sit down with students to submit the online form by Sunday 8 November. New families will have until Sunday 15 November to complete selections.

A reminder that all parents / carers must submit activity selections. Secondary students are not permitted to make their own co-curricular sport selections via Clipboard.

Please click here to enrol students for Term 1 2027 Co-Curricular Sport.

Exam Week for Years 7-10

All training sessions for Saturday/Competition Sports are compulsory to attend as usual.

These include Easts Touch, Santa Sabina Volleyball, Sydney Indoor Hockey, IGSA Tennis & IGSA Water Polo.

All other co-curricular sport sessions (e.g. Swimming, Pilates, S & C, Fitness, Tennis Lessons, Gymnastics etc) will be optional to attend.

Remember… if there are extreme extenuating circumstances that would prevent you from attending training next week, the expectation is that you communication directly with your Sport Coordinators.

There will be consequences for students who do not turn up to training and who do not communicate, as in any usual week.

Please re-familiarise yourself with the Sport Commitment Policy. Minimum attendance across the term is required for students to receive a House Point for participating in these sports, and for the sport to appear on your Semester 2 Report.

Benefits of Exercise and Physical Activity

• Promotes better sleep
• Increases cognitive function (how your brain works and recalls information – extra important in exam week)
• Improves mood (exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good – what a great start to the day before your exam, or afternoon break before more study)
• Boosts energy levels (for extra focus during your exams)

“Research shows that physical exercise releases proteins in the brain that can actually help improve your memory and increase your cognitive performance. This is because the hippocampus, the area of our brain that is involved with retaining information is incredibly responsive to these proteins. So whether you’re revising for an exam or listening to a lecture, you’ll be able to take in and retain what you learn much more easily if you have been doing some regular exercise”. – University College London Study, UK

“Even small amounts of physical activity can improve your mood and cognitive function, alleviate anxiety, and decrease your risk of diseases and other medical conditions. Studies have also found that physical activity helps people sleep better”. – Sleep Foundation (Australia)

“Exercise causes your brain to release ‘feel good’ chemicals like endorphins and serotonin that help improve your mood. It also improves your fitness, which can help lift your mood”. – Health Direct (Australia)

IGSA Gymnastics

Primary Sport

Around the Grounds

Round 2 of Year 3 Football, IPSHA Basketball, and IPSHA Tennis took place last weekend. Despite no Year 6 teams playing, it was a wonderful morning of Primary sport.

In IPSHA Basketball, the 4A team came up against a very strong Kambala team. It was a physical game and the SCEGGS girls showed grit and determination, but Kambala were just too strong on the day. The 5A team played against Wenona and, despite some exceptional dribbling by Cleo Norman and Ines Allen, Wenona were just too strong. The 4C team had an excellent game at Santa Sabina. It was a fast-paced game and the team had many chances to score but narrowly went down 18-10. What an excellent game it was to watch!

In IPSHA Tennis, our Year 4 girls played against Ascham, who were made up of Year 6 girls. Despite the age gap, our team put up a strong performance through some powerful shot-making by Isabelle Chirakis and accurate serving by Trinity Zheng. The future of Tennis is looking bright for SCEGGS!

In Year 3 Football, SCEGGS White were standout performers, coming away 8-5 winners against Ascham Blue through their teamwork and hard work on the field.

Good luck to all teams for Round 3 this weekend and a reminder to all teams of the second ‘G’ in the Sports Values…..Grit! This means persevering and being resilient, even when you’re not winning.
