SGG Cross-Country Date Confirmed

Thursday 14th February (valentines day, because we all love Cross-Country) is the date for this year's school cross-country championships. The race is for all S1-3 pupils, this is what all your training in class has been for! Any S4-6 pupils are of course welcome to sign up too. The girl's race will take place period 1 and the boy's race period 2, both races will run all year groups at the same time so you will be able to see how you get on against older or younger competitors. The race will be 2.5km long (approx) and there will be medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd finishers in each of the year groups. We recommend that for the race you come to school wearing your PE kit. You will have time to get changed into school uniform after the race. It's important you come prepared as best you can for the conditions, that includes: PE Kit, warm clothes and/or waterproofs, old trainers or spikes to wear during the event, towel, carrier bag for your kit after the event and a spare PE kit if you have PE again that day. Good luck to all the pupils for the big day!

S1 Scottish Cup Netball Team

The S1 Netball team had a tough group stage in the Scottish Cup, losing both games to a very good Holyrood team and Balfron. As a result the team are now in the Bronze section of the Scottish Cup. They have a home game against Holyrood High School from Edinburgh. The girls have been very dedicated this year and I'm looking forward to seeing how their netball improves over the years if they keep up their excellent effort:

Layla MacFadyen

Emilly Haldane

Isla Thoms

Isobel Driscoll

Orla MacAskill

Rhuna McCartney

Scottish Schools' Indoor Athletics Championships

I can't really believe that it's almost time for the Scottish Schools' Indoors but it is, it's come around quickly. This year we have a smaller group entered, there are only two age groups, under 16 and over 16 so some people are too young for the championships so they'll be entered next year. 

Day 1 

Sarah Bonad - under 16 200m

Eilidh McDougall - over 16 200m

Day 2

Mirren Ward - under 16 60m

Sarah Bonad - under 16 60m

Eilidh McDougall - over 16 60m

Shona Carey - under 16 800m

Good luck!

S3/4 Glasgow Schools Netball Tournament Champions

Congratulations to the S3/4 Netball Team for winning the Glasgow Schools Premier Division Netball Tournament. The girls put a fantastic display of netball together in the 4 group games. Each game was 20 minutes long and with only one sub the girls new it was going to be a tough day physically and mentally. Considering this is a brand new S3/4 team the girls played exceptionally well. Due to the quality of players in the team there was some positional changes with players playing new positions never experienced before. This was a challenge the team relished and worked out exceptionally well in all 4 games. This is the first time the school has won the S3/4 Netball tournament and it was the best quality of teams for some years with ourselves, Holyrood S3 team who were Scottish Gold cup semi finalists last year and Hyndland S3/4 team who have a number or club and district level players in their starting 7, this made for some very competitive games. SGG came out on top with a narrow win in the last game to take home the medals. Well done girls, what a fantastic achievement!
