A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen must also be brought to the Carnival. If it is particularly hot, we would also strongly recommend a light long sleeve top for further sun protection when not swimming.<\/p>\n

Girls are to move to their allocated House area when they arrive at the pool.<\/p>\n

Attendance at the Carnival is compulsory. Girls unable to attend on the day are required to submit an explanatory note to their Form Teacher.<\/p>\n

The most important contribution on the day is each girl\u2019s support of her House.<\/p>\n

Girls must adhere to the pool rules \u2013 no running, pushing, bombing, unsafe or disruptive behaviour. The wading pool is out of bounds.<\/p>\n

Wet Weather<\/strong>

International Women\u2019s Day Run – # Unity in the Community<\/strong><\/h4>\n

SCEGGS kicked off International Women\u2019s Day with a fun run in Centennial Park last Friday. A crowd of girls, staff, parents and even the family dogs participated in a fun run around the park before an early morning “purple” muffin for breakfast. Thank you to Ms Thompson and our Cross-Country Captains Laura Roderick and Amelia Board for organising the morning which was enjoyed by everyone.<\/p>\n
