17 July 2025 marked 130 years since SCEGGS opened with one pupil, Mary Watson, one teacher, Miss Uther and our first Head of School, Miss Edith Badham. Since then, our school has enriched the lives of thousands of girls, imbued with a distinctive sense of worldliness, maturity, and leadership. To celebrate this momentous occasion, the festivities have been in full swing.
In addition to Foundation Day, held on 17 July, we held our 130th HOPE anniversary music concert at Sydney Town Hall on 23 June. It was an amazing evening of music and celebration, featuring the premiere of several new works commissioned specifically for the school’s birthday (including Trailblazer, sung by the whole school). Finally, we hosted our Back to SCEGGS Gala Dinner on the 6th of September.
With more celebrations to come, it’s a year of festivity for SCEGGS. Here’s to 130 years, and beyond!
