Weigall Canteen Saturday Sports Days
|
During the Winter Saturday sports season, SGSWA run the Weigall canteen when games are played at our home grounds at Weigall oval.
Donations of cakes, slices and other baked treats are always welcome. They can be dropped off at the canteen anytime during the morning. We also need mothers and fathers to help in the canteen. If you have any spare time please join us. It is always relaxed and good fun as well as a wonderful way to meet other parents. We are particularly busy around lunchtime between 11am and 2pm. |

Cooper Rice-Brading Foundation
On Sports Day Wednesday 20 November 2019, the Womens' Association was proud to make a donation from our Weigall Canteen Day proceeds to the Cooper Rice-Brading Foundation in the amount of $1,000.
Cooper Rice-Brading was a junior elite AFL player, representative cricketer and talented rugby player, heading toward his HSC year at Sydney Grammar School. On his birthday in late January of 2016, Cooper was on a father son trip to the Australian Open, and was lifting some light weights in the hotel gym. He complained of soreness in his bicep/tricep region, which he, and the medical professionals engaged to care for him later that week, attributed to a possible muscle tear. He was after all, a devout sportsman, and like most other sport mad sixteen year olds, prone to a range of minor injuries. After being referred for a routine MRI, seemingly healthy, sport-loving who had by then just turned seventeen, learned he had an aggressive and rare osteosarcoma or bone cancer.
The Cooper Rice-Brading Foundation aims to provide the long-term funding required to find a cure for sarcoma, whilst improving quality of life throughout treatment and beyond, for young sarcoma patients, and their families.

Buy A Bale - Thank you
On Saturday 4 August 2018 Grammar hosted The Armidale School (TAS) at Weigall. To support our extended rural community, it was decided that all proceeds raised on the day would be donated to the buy a bale initiative in support of our farmers.
Thank you to all the parents that assisted with the Weigall Canteen and the Weigall BBQ and to all the boys and their families that donated baked goods or their time or made purchases or donated money.
The SGFA is very pleased to donated all $3,176 and the SGWA all $2,597 takings from the day.
We would also like to extend a thank you to Mr Fear for co-ordinating the day and share the acknowledgement of your efforts by the TAS 1st XV.
Firstly, I would like to thank you for the effort and willingness to show support towards the Australian farmers currently affected by the drought.
Your support was suitably acknowledged in the after-match function which was extremely well received. This was followed up by the TAS 1st XV Captain bringing to life some of the struggles his team mates are currently enduring. The perspective he spoke about not only provided a stark reality for our city boys but also highlighted the value of your support.
Thank you once again for your great support to the school and in particular to our boys. Initiatives like these give a great sense of community spirit and are strong lessons for our boys.
