Trish Buckley Volleyball

Well done to the Year 11 PLC Girls Volleyball Team who competed in the Senior Trish Buckley competition on Friday night. The girls performed extremely well and won their first match against Matthew Flinders, two sets to nil. A fantastic effort to start the season in the leading volleyball competition on the coast. These girls have shown great commitment with both their training efforts and their enactment of rostered duties on the night.

SCISSA Volleyball

It was a shame that our fixtures were cancelled this week due to flooding and further predicted poor weather. We are very much looking forward to kicking off our season next Wednesday. Most Intermediate players have now come and collected their playing shirts, with a few teams to be sorted out early next week. Students will now be required to sign a register in the sport office when they collect and return their uniforms. As we end up missing numerous uniforms throughout the year, this process has been brought in to keep track of items. Students are to make sure they return their uniforms at the end of their volleyball commitments otherwise a $50 dollar fee will be incurred.

Basketball

Our Basketball Development sessions have begun on Monday and Friday mornings from 7am-8am. All students of all abilities are welcome. This is a great opportunity to gain skills in preparation for the 2022 All Schools’ Basketball season, as well as those who may be interested in further competitive basketball opportunities. Please contact Mr Mark Hauser or Mr Brad Burdon if your student is interested in attending.

Junior Sport

Water Polo

The Sunshine Coast Primary Schools Water Polo competition started on Monday evening this week at St Andrews. PLC played St Andrews in their first round of the competition and recorded a strong 15-4 win over our opponents.

Well done to all players who represented the College and thanks to Mr Crompton for coaching the team on the night.

Run Club

It was great to see a huge turnout for the first Run Club session for 2022. Approximately 70 students from Years 3 to 10 arrived at school bright and early on Tuesday morning to complete a time trial to see their level of running ability at the beginning of the season. Students will aim to improve their time when they complete a second time trial towards the end of the term.

This year students will also have the opportunity to work with a specialised running coach through the University of the Sunshine Coast.

We look forward to next Tuesday’s session, with students working towards improving their distance running leading up to our PLC Cross Country Carnival this term and the Independent District Cross Country Carnival early next term.

4-6 SCISSA Training – Monday Afternoons

SCISSA afterschool training continues next Monday afternoon from 3:15 – 4:15pm. All students will select their Term One SCISSA sport at the end of Thursday’s training session and will commence training in these sports in preparation for their Gala Day in Week 9.

If your child is unable to attend training, could you please send an email to PLCJuniorCollege@pacluth.qld.edu.au
