Primary Independent District Athletics Carnival

On Thursday, Pacific was represented by a team of 70 enthusiastic students from Years 3 -7 at the annual Primary Independent Athletics Carnival held out at the University of the Sunshine Coast. Many students had taken up the opportunity to participate in athletics training throughout Term One and Term Two each Monday afternoon from 3:15 – 4:45pm. After working with our athletics coaches the team were looking forward to testing themselves on the day.

The level of competition was very high with PLC students recording some exceptional results throughout the day.

PLC finished in 6th place out of 11 schools at the end of the carnival. This year was one of the closest finishes in points with only thirty points separating 6th place to 4th place at the end of the day.

Whilst all PLC students tried their best on the day, I would like to recognise some outstanding individual results from the carnival. Well done to the following students who finished with top three places for their events on the day.

Well done also to the following PLC age groups who finished in the top three places in the team rankings:

PLC 10 Years Girls – 2nd place

PLC 11 Years Girls – 3rd place

PLC 12 Years Girls – 1st place
