Competitive Sport News:

Well done to all our College teams who played in their first competitive SCISSA sport fixtures this week.

Please note that fixtures for the rest of the SCISSA Volleyball and Soccer season will be entered into Clipboard and emailed out to parents by the end of the week. Information regarding venues and bus departures and arrivals will be found in this fixture information.

SCISSA Junior and Intermediate Soccer:

The weather just held out for our first afternoon of Junior/Intermediate SCISSA Soccer. It’s always a tough first round after only having a short time to run trials but it was pleasing to see many students at the right spots, in the right uniform, and ready to play. Our Junior A and Intermediate A Boys went down in their first fixtures and will look to bounce back next week when the teams are settled. The Junior B1 Boys fought out a gritty draw in our first home game for the year. This turned out to be the highlight of the afternoon at home after the Intermediate Girls accepted a forfeit win in their game. A big congratulations goes to the Junior Girls team for a brilliant away win. We look forward to another great round of games next week.

SCISSA Senior Volleyball:

Well done to our Senior Volleyball teams for the spirit and tenacity they demonstrated in their first round matches. Our Senior A Girls and Boys were competitive in their fixtures but unfortunately went down in consecutive narrow sets. Congratulations to both Senior B Boys teams who picked up handy away victories to start their seasons strongly. All teams have plenty to work on for next week and we look forward to hosting our first games for 2025!

Run Club:

Run club started up this Tuesday with a fantastic turn out of students from Year 3 through to 10. It was a hot, humid morning but the students bought into the run and students ran some strong times for their first run club session of the year. Consistent attendance at these sessions is recommended for students to maximise progress in their cardiovascular endurance. Please email me at cwestmcinnes@pacluth.qld.edu.au or Mrs Lisa Muir lmuir@pacluth.qld.edu.au  if you are looking to attend any future Tuesday morning sessions.
