As we head into the season, a quick reminder for all parents and supporters taken from the IPSHA rules.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Focus on the efforts and performance of the children rather than the result.<\/li>\n
- Children play organised sports for fun. They are not playing for spectators\u2019 entertainment, nor are they miniature professionals.<\/li>\n
- Applaud good performances and efforts from each team. Congratulate all participants upon their performance regardless of the game\u2019s outcome.<\/li>\n
- Respect the officials\u2019 decision.<\/li>\n
- Never ridicule or scold a child for making a mistake during a competition.<\/li>\n
- Positive comments are motivational and encourage continued effort.<\/li>\n
- Show respect for your team\u2019s opponents. Without them there would be no game.<\/li>\n
- Encourage players to follow the rules and the officials\u2019 decisions.<\/li>\n
- Demonstrate appropriate social behaviour by not using foul language, or harassing players, coaches or officials.<\/li>\n
- Comments should not interfere with the running of the game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Student Achievements<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Congratulations to all SCEGGS students who were involved in The Little Athletics Inner City Zone Championships which were held on December 6 and 7 last year, with some students progressing to the Region 8 Championships, which were on last weekend. Quite a few SCEGGS girls participated from the Primary school, including Charlotte Willis (Year 6), Ines Allen (Year 5), Edith Herceg (Year 4) and Romy Allen (Year 3) who were all representatives of Eastern Suburbs Little Athletics Club. Special mention to Charlotte at her first ever season doing Little Athletics and well done to all competitors.<\/p>\n
