Pacific Paddle Excellence

Pacific Paddle Excellence is striving to build on its strong legacy of being one of the most successful kayaking and canoe programs on the Sunshine Coast. Kayaking has been a part of Pacific sport since the College’s early days. Our Kayak team competes at the QLD Schools State Kayaking Championships each year and have won numerous state championships in marathon and sprint events. Students who are part of Paddle Excellence have the opportunity to compete at these Championships which are held in Term 4.

Pacific Paddle Excellence runs three times a week outside of school hours during Terms 1-4. The program will commence in Week 6, Monday 3rd of March 2025 - 

•          Students in Year 8-12 train on Mondays, commencing Monday 3rd March

•          Students in Year 4-7 train on Thursdays, commencing Thursday 6th March

This program provides an opportunity for students of all skill levels to experience an Olympic sport and progress through the different stages of kayaking development. Committed and talented student kayakers will be invited for extra kayaking training and exposure to the Canu32 Olympic Pathway program.

Our Paddle Excellence Program has access to experience and skilled coaches on staff and we link with local, state and national kayaking organisations to provide elite development sessions throughout the kayaking season.
