Their effort and determination in every game were exceptional and reflected their growth throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p>The Year 4 team has provided great hope for the future of SCEGGS Hockey. While there were many impressive individual performances, the most pleasing aspect was the development of a strong and supportive team culture that grew throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p>A sincere thank you to our dedicated coaches, Luella, Maddy, Stella, Hannah and Anna, for their enthusiasm, expertise and passion toward supporting the girls each week.<\/p>\n<p>We are incredibly proud of all the players and cannot wait to see everyone back on the hockey field again soon!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sarah Carter<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>PDHPE Teacher<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25914 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-2-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-2-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-2-145x109.jpeg 145w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-2-290x218.jpeg 290w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-2-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-2-200x150.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-2.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25915 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2026\/06\/IPSHA-Hockey.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong><a id=\"Netball\"><\/a>IPSHA Netball <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Congratulations to all students on a highly successful IPSHA Netball season.
