Principal’s Log

Thank you to those families who have completed their MMG survey. The conducting of the survey is a major investment of the College every 3-4 years. We strongly encourage all families to take the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing growth and development of the College through completion of the survey.

We are pleased to announce the 2025 College and Pacific Action Group Captains. In accepting these roles, these students are making a firm commitment to use their talents to serve their peers and this community. We congratulate and pray for each of them as they make the transition into senior leadership roles.

2025 Pacific Action Group Captains

It was exciting this week to walk through the Year 7-9 science classrooms and listen to the students confidently explain the learnings they had gained through their science investigations which included the construction of working models and gathering and analysis of data.  Students are to be congratulated on the learnings they have gained. We thank Head of Science Mrs Claire Richards and our science team for providing this rich opportunity for students to engage as scientists.

This week we celebrate our teacher aides who do an amazing job in the support of our students and staff. We are blessed to have very talented teacher aides who work closely with students to encourage, nurture, and guide learning. We are also deeply appreciative of our teacher aides who bring high levels of skills to assist in the organisation and preparation of learning and co-curricular experiences.

We wish our two netball teams, the PLC Mavericks and PLC Fireballs playing in the netball grand finals all the best this week. We encourage families to take the opportunity to cheer them on as they take the courts this Saturday at the Caloundra Indoor Stadium.

Well done to the Intermediate A and Junior A Boys Touch teams who reached the SCISSA touch grand finals. In closely contested games the Junior Boys A team won by scoring a try right at the end of the match and the Intermediate A team lost in the drop off time after having drawn the game at full time. We thank all of our touch football coaches and congratulate all of our students on a strong season of touch. We wish the Girls U14 Gold and U14 Blue rugby teams all the best as they compete in finals next week.

We are also looking forward to celebrating the creative talents of our students at the Art and Film Night tonight. It promises to be a thoroughly entertaining evening and we strongly encourage families to take advantage of this opportunity to have a night out and be inspired as they engage with the visual art and media works of the students. We thank Pacific Action Group Captains Ayrisa Jones and Mitchell Pyke and our Visual Art and Film and TV team for their leadership.

We give a prayer of thanks for our teacher aides and the gifts they bring into our community. We pray that God will enable us to grow in wisdom and discernment.
