Scottish Gold Cup Quarter Finals

For the first time in the schools’ history we have two netball teams in the Scottish Gold Cup. Both teams have done exceptionally well to not only get into the Gold cup but to progress to the quarter finals (final 8) of the competition. First up are the seniors who are playing Holy Cross high school on Thursday. Our seniors are made up of 5 x S4s and 4 x S5s so the future is bright for this new team regardless of the result as all players will be back for more Scottish Cup action next year. Our S2/3s are away to Aberdeen Grammar on Friday, we have a reduced squad available for the match with the ski trip but the players available will be looking forward to a tough game all the same. This team is gaining good experience together as they will be entered as a squad next year for the Glasgow Schools’ S3/4 league campaign. Good luck to both teams.

Glasgow Schools’ Floor & Vault Gymnastics Championships

We have a huge Gymnastics squad heading to the Glasgow Schools’ Floor and Vault Championships on Tuesday. Last year we entered the competition for the first time with one team and we went on to finish with the silver medals at level 3! We then placed 7th at the Scottish Schools’ Championships in Perth. This year we have a team at level 1, level 2 and two at Level 3! Good luck to all our teams!

SGG Cross-Country Championships 2020

Our annual school cross-country championships takes place on Thursday 13th February. The girls race will take place period 1 and the boys race period 2. All pupils are to come into school ready to run but make sure and bring your school uniform with you to change into afterwards. The course is likely to be muddy, you can wear spikes if you have them, if not we recommend you wear old trainers. In addition you should bring a carrier bag for your shoes and muddy kit and a complete change of kit if you have PE later that day. Text reminders will go out beforehand. The championships is for all S1-3 pupils but any seniors wanting to sign up can do so with the PE department. Good luck to all those taking part.
