3-6 PLC Cross Country Carnival

The 3-6 Inter House Cross Country carnival will take place tomorrow from 10:45am - 1:00pm at Meridan sports fields, adjacent to the College. Students will need to wear their house shirts to school tomorrow. Buran students will need to wear their normal sports shirts due to their house shirts being delayed.

Parents, please be aware the course will be muddy and wet in some locations due to the rain earlier this week. Students will need to make sure they have spare shoes and possibly a spare sports shirt to change into after their race. A plastic bag to place wet, muddy gear into after the race is also recommended.

Year 5 /6 Sunshine Coast Primary School Water Polo Competition

On Wednesday evening our PLC Primary Water Polo team played in the finals of the Sunshine Coast Primary Schools Water Polo Competition. This competition has grown over the last few years and includes Independent, Catholic, and State Schools from around the Sunshine Coast. PLC had played strongly throughout the regular season rounds and qualified for the semi-finals.

A strong performance in their semi-final allowed PLC to progress through to the gold medal game later in the evening.

PLC played a very strong and experienced St Andrews team in the grand final. St Andrews started strongly and were able to score some quick goals early in the game. PLC fought back strongly in the second half defending with much more vigour and scoring a couple of early goals. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough, and PLC finished runners-up this year which is a fantastic achievement for these students.

Thanks to all parents who travelled and supported the team during the season and Mrs Fiona Schefe and Mr Tom Friend who coached the team on Monday night.  

4 – 6 Gala Day

Last Thursday, students in years 4-6 participated in their first SCISSA Gala Day for 2022. Students had the opportunity to represent PLC in one of many sports on offer this term. This year Olympic Handball has been a new addition to the sports choices. Handball is an Olympic pathway sport and gives students the opportunity to play a sport that will be on offer at the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.

Congratulations to the following teams who won their division on the day:

  • 5/6 Netball Div A (Champions)
  • 5/6 Netball Div B (Champions)
  • 5/6 Boys T20 Cricket Div A (Champions)
  • 5/6 Girls Touch Football Div B (Champions)

There were also several teams who were runners-up in their division on the day, which was pleasing to see.
