Last Thursday, students from Years 4-6 enjoyed their last SCISSA Gala Day for 2022. Students had the opportunity to represent the College in a wide range of sports and it was great to hear many positive stories from both students and staff who enjoyed their day or friendly inter-school competition.
Congratulations to the following teams who were overall champions of their division at the end of the day:
Under 12 Boys AFL

Ballinger Cup Primary School Hockey Carnival
On Tuesday this week, a mixed team of boys and girls from Years 4-6 represented PLC in our first interschool hockey competition, The Ballinger Cup. Held up at the Sunshine Coast Hockey Centre at Buderim, the carnival involved primary school students from six schools within the Sunshine Coast
Our PLC team played seven matches on the day and qualified for the third vs. fourth playoff against St Andrews. PLC was able to win this playoff 2-1 which meant we finished in 3rd place at the end of the carnival. Well done to all players who represented the College and a big thank you to Mrs Fiona Schefe and Mrs Kim Kiernan who coached and managed the team on the day.
