Student Recognition

A big congratulations to two of our students, Brooke Williams and Yasmin Richters for their recent achievements in Netball. Brooke Williams has made the USC Thunder Academy Programme and Yasmin has made training partner for the USC Thunder Ruby Netball team, which involved a very intensive selection process.

We want to celebrate our students’ sporting successes with the Pacific community so please let Mr West-McInnes know of notable achievements in sport as they happen throughout the year.

Swimming Carnival

A few important bits of information for our Yr 7-12 Carnival coming up on the 10th of February.

• Parent spectators are allowed to attend the carnival. Parents will need to sign in at the pool and there is a small fee to enter. Parents will be provided a tent area to set up chairs away from the students in the grandstand as per Covid Safety Plan.
• Students may purchase food from the Kiosk using cash or cashless payment methods. Students should make sure they have plenty of water with them for the day.
• Students not in competitive races will still have opportunities to participate in various events and get points for their house, and we encourage all students to find a way to be involved on the day.

Competition Sport

Competitive sport starts Wednesday10th February for SCISSA, Yr 7-10 Volleyball and 11-12 Soccer. Students who have signed up for these sports will have information sent through to parents soon. If there are any questions or concerns regarding how competitive sport afternoons will run, please contact Mr Cameron West-McInnes or Mrs Natalie Campbell.
