Inter-Lutheran Athletics Carnival

On Tuesday, a team of 43 students from Years 3-7 represented Pacific at the annual Inter-Lutheran Athletics Carnival held at USC. The quality of speed, skill and athletic performance on display was outstanding with a number of records broken during the carnival. Some of these records have stood for more than a decade.

I am pleased to announce that Pacific was crowned the overall champions at the end of the carnival, which is a fantastic result. It was a team effort on the day, but I would also like to recognise some outstanding individual performances. Listed below are students who finished in the top three places for their events on the day:

Congratulations also to Jaz Edmondstone and Danica Cockburn who broke records at the carnival. Jaz and Hamish Carroll were also named Pacific’s champion athletes, well done!

Afterschool SCISSA training for Term 3 commences next Monday 4^th August. Afterschool training is from 3.15pm – 4.15pm and the training dates can be found on the College calendar.  

Please note that if your child has selected water polo for their SCISSA sport, they will train each Monday afternoon at the Kawana Aquatic Centre. Students will be transported to training by bus, but parents will need to pick up their child at the end of training at 4.15pm. 

Students who have selected AFL or water polo as their sport will also need to purchase a mouthguard. As per SCISSA rules, students must wear a mouthguard whilst participating in these sports during trial games and Gala Days. Students without a mouthguard will not be permitted to play.

The Prep – Year 2 Athletics carnival will be held in Week 8 on Monday 2^nd September. Please note that there has been a slight change to the start time listed on the College calendar, with the first events starting at 1.00pm. The carnival will conclude at 3.00pm and families are welcome to come along and support their child on the day.
