Connecting College and Community

Career Conversations with our Resident Dreamweaver

We were extremely privileged to have Head of Career Development Mrs Wanda Hayes share her passion and vision for Pacific students at our meeting on Tuesday night. Wanda, a highly regarded educator, spoke about how career conversations happen every day from a very young age, often without us even knowing. She shared research that indicates parents are the greatest influencers in a child’s future career choice and sees the role of parents as encouraging supporters. At Pacific, students are urged to dream big and challenge gender-stereotyped roles in the workplace. We thank Wanda for taking the time to share these insights with us during her busy schedule.

Volunteering Opportunities

We are looking forward to supporting the All Schools Triathlon this Sunday at Lake Kawana. If parents and/or Middle and Senior College helpers (Year 6-12 students) are able to help out at this event and/or the Noosa Triathlon in November, please make contact with Allyson Sarvari on 0402 276 988 or email: fop@pacluth.qld.edu.au.

• All Schools Triathlon – Sunday 27^th October from 6.00am – 11.00am at Lake Kawana
• Noosa Triathlon – Sunday 3^rd November from 9.30am – 2.00pm
   

Volunteers receive a t-shirt and a cap and will generally be helping on drink stations. Pacific will receive a donation for every volunteer we provide, which will help us raise funds for the installation of additional water coolers at the College.

Car Park Winner

At our recent Blockbuster Trivia Night, the Wilke family won the live auction bid for the Pacific car park space. We ask all families respect the generosity of the Wilke’s and refrain from parking in their clearly designated parking bay.

Next Meeting

The Friends of Pacific Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Tuesday 19^th November at 6.30pm in the College Boardroom. We encourage you to consider supporting Friends of Pacific by nominating or expressing your interest for the 2020 volunteer committee. It’s a wonderful way to connect with fellow parents and staff, learn more about what is happening on campus and support events that bring much joy to our student body. The AGM nomination form is available here.

The next Friends of Pacific General Meeting will be held at Pacific Lutheran College on Tuesday 19^th November, commencing straight after the AGM. Please join us for Christmas drinks afterwards.
