Connecting College and Community

Blockbuster Trivia Night

Like the Star Wars trilogy all rolled into one, the Pacific Blockbuster Trivia Night proved to be EPIC in length and laughter. We sincerely thank all who attended and ensured the event was a Titanic success. The effort that went into the planning of team tables, costumes, playing the games and of course, answering the trivia was absolutely heart-warming. That’s what makes our community so great! Of course, the night would not have been possible without the behind-the-scenes work from the Quiz Master herself, Mrs Leah Croke and trivia marker, Mrs Rowena Marshall. Thank you! We also thank our magnificent MC, Mr Russell Ousley and Poison Ivy Penny, from F45, who coordinated the games. A big congratulations also to Mrs Shannon Russell, who superbly coordinated the table, wall and popcorn decorations and Liam Russell who ran the audio and visuals for the evening. We also thank the Friends of Pacific team of Zane, Bron, Teena, Lisa, Allyson, Tracey, Penni, Deni, Rita, Louise, Erin and other helpers for their time on setup, pack up, running the bar, financials and prize gathering and wrapping. We also thank Frank and Louis for the fabulous entertainment they provided to open the night and in between trivia rounds!

Our Diamond Raffle and Live Auction were both huge successes, with prizes generously donated by Sunstate Jewellers, F45 Training, Ramada Resort Golden Beach, Harry's on Buderim, Scratchy Nails, Sunshine White,  KISS Photography, Shine Beauty, Zarraffas Currimundi, Anaconda Kawana, Kathmandu, Mr Jarrod Bleijie MP, the College and the Fowler family.
