Inter-House Swimming Carnival
Last Thursday we were lucky enough to have fine weather for our Years 3-6 students to make their way out to the Beerwah Aquatics Centre for the Inter-House Swimming Carnival. It was fantastic to see so many students participating at the carnival and also the excellent student behaviour displayed throughout the day.
Congratulation to Bula house who were crowned the overall champion house at the end of the carnival. The final points standings for the day were:
Bula – 2578
Mumba – 2327
Wira – 1909

Independent District Swimming Carnival
The Independent District Swimming Carnival will be held on Friday 22nd February at Sunshine Coast Grammar Aquatic Centre (372 Mons Road Forest Glen). Students aged from 9-12 years will be notified this Friday if they have been successful in qualifying for this team. We have been waiting for the completion of the secondary swim carnival to finalise our Under 12 team before sending out information.
Please note that there is an earlier start this year with warm-up from 7.30 – 7.50am and the first event starting at 8.00am. A bus will be provided for students to and from the carnival and will depart from the school at 7.00am sharp. Please make sure your child is at school by 6.50am to allow us to depart on time. The carnival is scheduled to finish by 1.30pm so student will be back at school for normal afternoon dismissal.
Further information will be sent out through Care Monkey.
SCISSA Sport
Thursday SCISSA training starts this week with students already choosing two sports that they will have the opportunity to try this week and next week before committing to one sport for Semester One.
Students will then start Monday afterschool training for these sports on the Monday 25th February (Week Five). Afterschool training dates for each term can be found on the College calendar.
Athletics Training
This year Pacific is offering athletics training for students in the 9 – 12 years age group in preparation for the District Athletics Carnival in Term Two. The College has employed the services of Chris Brearley who is a qualified Level Two coach in sprints, relays and hurdles. Chris can also coach jumps and throws and is excited to work with our Pacific students to help improve in various athletic events.
Athletics training sessions will be run on Monday afternoons concurrently with our existing SCISSA program from 3.30 – 4.30pm.
These training sessions will only be offered to selected students who qualify by:
- Representing the College at the 2018 Independent District Athletics Carnival.
- Students who are aiming to make District selection this year.
