Mark in S1 had a phenomenal day too, he qualified for the final of the D boys Discus and had a masdove throw of 10m plus in the Shot Putt to secure the bronze medal! Our first boy and youngest medal winner at these outdoor championships! We had many successes on the day not just by finalists or medal winners but by pupils performing their absolute best and coming away with fantastic times in the process. What was most pleasing was the support all pupils gave each other! One staff member from another school said the SGG pupils were by far the loudest! Well done to you all!

Our senior girls team in the A race won the schools first set of team medals. They came home with the bronze medals! It was an absolutely fantastic performance from the team! Our senior boys nearly repeated this only to narrowly come 4th which in itself equals our best performance from a male team, next year guys for the medals.
