District Cross Country Carnival

Well done to all students who represented the College on Tuesday at the Independent District Cross Country Carnival out at the new Fisherman’s Rd Sports Complex.

Our PLC Primary team finished in sixth place overall out of the eleven schools competing with several great individual performances from students on the day.

Congratulations to the following students who finished in the top six places at the carnival:

• Leah van den Hurk – 2nd place (9 years old girls)
• Kyle Huxley – 4th place (11 years old boys)
• Scarlett van den Hurk - 1st place (12 years old girls)

Scarlett and Kyle have now qualified for the Independent District Cross Country team to compete at the upcoming 10 – 12yrs Sunshine Coast Regional Cross Country Carnival.

Thanks to Mrs. Kim Kiernan who was team manager at the carnival and has supported students along the way with Run Club training sessions in Term One and Two. Thank you to Mrs. Lisa Muir who spent many hours in the lead up to the carnival emailing and organising the team prior to and during the carnival.
