Glasgow Schools Swimming

Congratulations to Eilidh O’Henley for finishing with the bronze medal at the Glasgow Schools’ Swimming Championships. Eilidh was competing in the 100m Backstroke. Well done Eilidh! 

Netball Friendlies

A huge well done to our S1s who played some friendly  netball matches against an S1/2 Hillhead team! It was a thoroughly enjoyable day with 27 SGG girls getting experience or playing the sport against another school  which is hugely important for their development 

. 

Christmas Cup

A huge well done to the S1/2 Girls football team for finishing 2nd at the Glasgow Football Christmas Cup. 16 teams took part and the girls finished 2nd after a nerve wracking shootout. Myla was our player of the day and her experiences with Celtic have made her into the most exciting football player the school has ever seen.

Thanks to all the pupils and staff who took part in our Christmas Quiz! We had lots of fun and it was a great way to end term!

Glasgow City State Schools Road Relay

Well what a race it was. This year all schools who had entered previously had improved their times compared to previous years. This was one of the aim when I set up the state schools track and field that pupils would get the opportunity to participate in road, athletics and cross country events but also that the standard would improve for all schools. A big well done to all the schools who took part and made this years event a brilliant one to spectate. SGG Red made it 4 wins in a row. Something which they had to work extremely hard for.
