Wow! Congratulations to the S1 Team for winning the Toryglen League which ran from Autumn to Christmas time. This was a superb effort from all the players involved! You’ve put SGG on the football map! More to come in 2025 with the Spring League! 

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. 

Christmas Quiz

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. 

S1 Netball Team

Our S1 Netball Team have also made it into the Scottish Cup last 16! The girls had a very good second half performance in their knockout match showing maturity in the way they transitioned the ball from defence to attack. Everyone got court time again and it was great to see Rhona and Lexie take part in their first match for the school team! Well done to the S1’s. 

Senior Netball Team

A huge congratulations to our Senior Netball Team for making it into the last 16 of the competition. We probably have the youngest squad in this year’s Scottish Cup with 4 x S3s, 3 x S4’s and 3 x S5’s the team will all be back for more next year. Well done team!

Daibhidh

A huge congratulations to Daibhidh Kinnaird who finished 4th at the recent Scottish u17 Short Course Cross-Country Championships. Daibhidh a first year in the u17 event performed exceptionally well in this race against older more experienced runners. Good luck for the rest of the season!
