From the Head of Physical Education Ms Jodie Scheele
We certainly have some talented sporting individuals within our school. I am very pleased to inform you that Year 12 student, Eliza Griffin was not only awarded the ACC H-Division Champion Girl at this year’s ACC HDivision Athletics Carnival but she also made it into the 2020 ACC All Stars Athletics Team for the Open Girls 400m Race. The All Stars team consists of the top performer for each event from all the ACC Athletics Carnivals from A to J Division. This really is an incredible achievement. Eliza ran the 400m in 59:47 seconds, not too far off the ACC record of 56:53secs. Over her high school career, she has excelled in Athletics, Swimming and Cross Country and has done so in such a humble manner. Eliza’s contribution to Physical Education has been outstanding and we thank her for all her efforts at the ACC Carnivals and for playing a major role in putting St George’s on the ACC map. We wish you all the very best in your future endeavours, Eliza.
Ali Griffin is also to be congratulated as she entered the ACC Virtual Cross Country by sending her results taken from Athletics West, Little Athletics events where the results of these events were processed by “Bluchip” Timing into a virtual ACC Cross Country event. Ali placed third in the U/16 Girls. We look forward to Ali continuing to run for St George’s and wish her all the best with her heavy training schedule.
Another talented student is Year 9 Bonnie Baugh who competed in the 2020 “Groundswell Festival” which took place on the 4 October. Bonnie drops into the Scarborough Snake Pit bowl and her skating skills earnt her a win in the State round, where she won cash and a new board for herself. With the Tokyo Olympics offering skateboarding this year, there are exciting opportunities out there for our skating community and Bonnie has the potential and the attitude to go far in the sport.
