Basketball

Well done to all teams for their effort so far this season. The Junior and Intermediate Girls seasons begin this week! We have four out of our six senior teams through to semi-final matches this week. Good luck to all these teams and we hope to see them all progress to the grand finals in Week 9. Well done to the Senior A Boys and the Senior B Girls for their efforts. Unfortunately, both of their seasons have now finished. If those players could please return their uniforms to Mrs Natalie Campbell this week.

It was a tough round for us last Friday with only one team recording a win (Senior A Girls) and one a draw (Senior D Girls). It was great to see the enjoyment from all and the ‘never-give-up’ attitude displayed out on the court.

Rugby

Our three teams played again on Wednesday evening at various locations around the coast. The Under 16 Girls unfortunately lost against Sunshine Coast Grammar School. The Under 14 Boys continued their winning streak against Mountain Creek, recording a 36-19 win. The Open Boys played their first home game in a number of years at Pacific in a Lutheran grudge match against Good Shepherd. After being down at half time, the team fought back to be within one point of Good Shepherd at the end.

Water Polo

On Monday evening our Intermediate A Boys and Girls teams played Good Shepherd. Students were very happy to play in the newly designed Pacific water polo caps for the first time. Unfortunately, both teams were unable to come away with wins on the night. Special mention to Romola Frazer who was MVP for the Intermediate A Girls and Liam Hague who played with plenty of courage against a much larger and physical team in the Intermediate A Boys.

Touch Football

The Junior A Girls recorded their second win in a row over Suncoast Christian College on Wednesday afternoon. Locked at 1-1 with only seconds remaining, Zara Grant intercepted a Suncoast pass to sprint 40m to score to snatch victory. This will most likely be the final game of the season, as the girls with just finish out of the top four on the table for semis.

Unfortunately, the Intermediate A Girls went down 7-1 to Immanuel Lutheran College (ILC). With a number of the girls out due to injury, the team played strongly but were unable to stick with ILC for the entire game. The intermediate girls will play their final game next week against Sunshine Coast Grammar School. Good luck girls.

Prep – Year 2 Athletics Carnival

Well done to all Prep – Year 2 students who participated in the athletics carnival on Monday afternoon. It was fantastic to see so many smiling faces having a go at the various athletic events. It was also exciting to see the level of athletic ability in our youngest students. Congratulations to Mumba House who were crowned the 2020 champions. The final scores at the end of the carnival were:

• Bula – 987
• Wira – 1065
• Mumba – 1094

Year 4-6 SCISSA Gala Day

The Term 3 Year 4-6 SCISSA Gala Day is next Thursday. A parent information letter was sent out this week with details regarding this event. A reminder that students need to be at school by 8.15am on that morning and need to meet out on the front gym oval to mark rolls and be ready for departure.

Due to COVID school sport restrictions, no spectators are allowed at any of the sporting venues.

Good luck to all teams that are competing next Thursday.
