Principal's Log

It was great to be part of the Dad’s Breakfast last Friday where a very large group of men enjoyed coming together with their families to celebrate the important role they play within their families and within community.  The conversation was convivial and energetic, the food tasty and sustaining and the talented musicians added to the ambience of the morning.  We thank Pastor Tim for his reflection, Mrs Leanne Bevis and Mr Brendan Delaney for their organisation, Mrs Colleen Beattie, Mrs Rhana Holt, Mrs Michi Hauser and the hospitality students for the preparation and service of food, Flooke (featuring Ryan Smart) and the music staff for the entertainment and the ground staff for their support.  We thank all of the dad’s for making the time to celebrate the important role they play in their families and in our community.

We congratulate the U10 Pacific Eels team who won the Sunshine Coast Churches Soccer Association Fair Play Award.  The award recognises the team in the Association that best exemplifies the way that soccer should be played which includes respect for the umpires and opposition, good team spirit and teamwork.  This is an achievement of which they can all be proud.  As the season draws to a close, we thank all coaches, players and parents for their support of Club PLC Soccer and for making the season another great success for our young people.  A particular thank you to the Pacific Soccer Committee of Mr Ian Barnes, Mrs Jenny Lee, Mr Chris Friend, Mrs Louise Currey, Mrs Lisa Ackerman, Mr Ben Creamer and Mr Zane Russell.

The PLC Blake Prize provides a wonderful opportunity for individuals and groups to explore their creativity and spirituality as they produce art works that reflect their understanding of their relationship with God.  The winning artworks are framed and displayed around the college to stimulate ongoing thinking and reflection as well as celebrating the talent of the people who produced them.  We congratulate all those who participated and celebrate with those who were awarded prizes.  This is a wonderful experience for young people and we thank Miss Michelle McMillan and Mrs Denise McMahon for providing this unique learning experience.

We wish the following teams competing in Grand Finals all the best over the coming week and encourage people to support them where possible:

• PLC Fillies Netball - this Saturday 10^th September at 10.00am, Court 4.
• Year 7 Girls Basketball – this Friday 4.00pm at Caloundra.
• Senior Girls Touch and Senior B Boys Touch – next Wednesday 6.00pm at the Peregian Fields.

We thank God for the richness He gives us through words and literature and particularly His Word contained in the Bible.
