Scottish Schools' Indoor Athletics Championships

 Well done to all the athletes that took part in the Scottish Schools' Athletics Championships. Everyone performed very well, especially considering it was the first time competing indoors for two years. Some of our athletes were competing indoors for the first time ever. The highlights of the two day event were Maisie getting a personal best and a bronze medal in the u16 pole vault. She was agonisingly close to 2.30 but the pole knocked the bar down at the last second. Still what a fantastic achievement. Maisie is our first ever medalist at the Indoor competition. A big well done! 

Finlay ran a school and personal best in the 1500m. He ran 4.20 which smashed the old school record by 11 seconds. It was an outstanding performance. Isla got to the final in the Shot Put which was a very tough ask with the number of entries in the field. She finished 6th overall after the final round of throws. Special mention to Lois who has never taken part in the indoors before, was unable to train for it but ran the 5th fastest time from an SGG girl in the 60m. From a standing start! Lots more to come from her. 

Scottish Schools Netball

Our S2/3 Netball team won 2/3 of their Scottish Schools Netball Fixtures and showed great progression this year. They were unfortunate to lost their first game, missing 4 players but these things happen to teams occasionally and the S2 players really stepped up for that game. 

Our Senior Netball Team won all their games and are through to the next round. Good luck into the next round girls. 

SGG Cross-Country Championships 2022

It’s almost here, the 2022 Cross-Country Championships.

This years event will be split into 3 races:

Period 1 - S3s and S4s

Period 2 - S2s

Period 3 - S1s

For this event you should come dressed ready to take part and bring your school uniform. As it’s winter time you will need warm clothes, black socks are a good idea, old trainers, football boots or spikes to wear during the event and a carrier bag for all your kit for afterwards. We are really looking forward to seeing how you all do on race day after all your excellent work during this block! 

Keep working hard!

S1s Watch Scottish Thistles

What a great first game of netball the S1s got to watch at the Emirates last week. A party of 12 went to see Scotland Thistles vs Barbados st the Emirates Arena. Scotland were on fire from the first centre pass and they went on to win convincingly. All the girls enjoyed watching the game and we hoped they learnt some new moves to take to the court for their next game.
