SGG Cross-Country Championships 2020

A huge congratulations to all our pupils who took part in the school cross-country championships on Thursday.

Glasgow Sports Awards

Here's some photos of SGG at the Glasgow Sports Person of the Year awards at the City Chambers. We received a trophy in recognition of the school receiving the Sportscotland Gold Award.

Glasgow Schools' Floor and Vault Gymnastics Championships

For the first time in the school's history we have won a Glasgow Schools' Gymnastics title! Our level 3 A team won the Level 3 competition which makes them the first team to do so in only our second year in the competition. The standard of this years event across all 3 levels was exceptionally high. SGG had four teams entered this year with one at level 1, one at level 2 and two at level 3. Our level one team of: Skye, Jenna, Lucie and Emma performed very well in both the floor and vault to secure bronze medals! Our level 2 team: Orla, Grace, Karis and Eilidh finished in 9th position and our level 3 B team finished in 5th. There were some great individual results too. Lucie in level 1 was 10th individual overall. In the level 3 individual event we had some great results: Emilly was 9th, Muireann 8th, Mirren 4th and Beth 3rd! Considering all these gymnasts only had 4 training sessions the results were very impressive. All the teams put in their best effort and have learnt a lot for next years' event. Congratulations to all our competitors. 

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. 

Netball fixtures next week

Good luck to the S1s and Seniors for their Scottish Cup Netball Fixtures next week.

S2 Netball Team

Good luck to the team for their next two Glasgow Schools’ League Games. 

S2/3 Netball Game

The S2/3 Netball Team are in the last 16 of the Scottish Gold Cup. This is a huge achievement for the school, we are after all the smallest school in the competition! We face a tough test against Eastwood High School next week. Good luck to the team. 

Cross-Country Race

Here’s a great opportunity to try out a cross-country race this month. Great for any age or ability. For anyone looking to do well in the SGG and/or Glasgow Schools’ Cross Country Championships then I recommend you do this race first. Entries will close soon!
