It was a delight to watch our three teams compete with good spirit and tenacity at the grand finals of the Monday Night Netball competition this week. We congratulate all of our netballers for a strong season. We celebrate with the three teams for reaching the grand final and the PLC Junior Yellow team who took out the championship in their Junior A reserve division. It has been a season of growth in skill and capacity for all of our netball teams and we thank Netball Coordinator Mrs Michelle Dufty and coaches Ms Leigh Finter, Mrs Emma Lendrum, Mrs Melissa Pietrala, Caity O’Keefe and Georgina Snelling.

We congratulate four Middle College students, Ben McCormac, Elizabeth Wegener, Dion Owen and Eden Williams, on their selection to participate in the State Honours Ensemble Program held at the Brisbane Conservatorium of Music. This experience last weekend provided a wonderful opportunity for students to extend their music skills as they interacted with talented students and leading conductors from across Queensland. We thank our Head of Instrumental Music Mrs Helen Williams for providing this opportunity.

 

Congratulations to our Year 7 da Vinci Decathlon team who achieved third place in the Art and Poetry event of the competition last week. Together, with the success of our Year 9 team who placed third in the General Knowledge event and our Year 6 team who placed second in the Science event and third in both the Engineering and Code Breaking events, this is an outstanding overall result for Pacific. The competition attracts the best and brightest students from around Queensland so we congratulate our teams on their success. Thank you to Mrs Jo Belchamber, Mrs Christine Doyle, Mrs Linda Sydes, Mr Andrew Block and Mrs Melissa Ousley for their leadership and support of our teams.

We wish our Year 6-9 Robotics teams all the best as they compete in the Sunshine Coast Robotics Competition this Saturday. We thank Mrs Janine Stone for her leadership and preparation of students.

We look forward to lots of laughter and fun as well as some outstanding golf at the Pacific and IBN Private Golf Day this Sunday. We thank our sponsors IBN Private, Mooloolah Valley Pharmacy, Forensix Group, Fowler Lawyers, Computercut Signs, Life and Love Photography, Shine Beauty and MTA Travel and our organisers Erin and Darren Carter, Teena Thompson and Jenny Lee. Hopefully there won’t be too many balls in the sand and the water!

We wish Middle and Senior College students all the best as they prepare for and undertake important assessments next week. Having a calm positive approach to revision is important.

May God enable us to always speak and act out of love for our fellowman and to have the courage to stand for this in all of our relationships.

Dr Bronwyn Dolling, Principal
