Sunshine Coast Primary Schools Water Polo Competition

The Sunshine Coast Primary Schools Water Polo Competition wrapped up on Monday night at St Andrews with our PLC Team 2 taking out a nail-biting win in their grand final match against St Andrews. Pacific trailed 5-3 at halftime with St Andrews dominating most of the first half. Pacific fought back with a few early quick goals in the second half to lock up the scores at the end of the third quarter. During the final quarter both teams traded goals with scores locked with less than a minute to play. Pacific managed to move the ball wide and down the pool, scoring the winning goal with less than 20 seconds remaining to take win the grand final game 8 -7.

Team members who played in the grand final - Ayla Robson, Indie Hooper, Cooper Fry, Harvey Fry, Charlie Taylor, Leah van den Hurk and Layla Jackson. Special mention to Scarlett van den Hurk who jumped in the pool for the second half of the final after the team were a player down for a short period of time. Charli Guinea and Louise Greene were part of the team but were unable to play in the final game of the season.

Our other Pacific team - PLC Team 1 finished their season last week, finishing in 6th position in a very strong A Division competition.

A big thank you to all families from both Pacific teams who made the commitment to travel to St Andrews each week for games as well as Mr Scott Crompton and Mr Sam Irwin for coaching these teams each week. Commitment from Pacific families and coaches was greatly appreciated.

3-6 Interhouse Cross Country

Information regarding the 3-6 Cross Country Carnival was sent out via email to families last week. A reminder that the event is on the first Friday back in Term 2 – Friday 19th April. See details below:

Date:              Friday 19th April 2024.

Time:             10:45am.

Uniform:         House sports uniform and hat. Hats are required to be worn whilst cheering but are not required when running. Students must also wear suitable running shoes and not bare feet.

Required:       Water bottle, spare shoes / uniform to change into after event if conditions are wet.

From the weather we have had this term the course has a high potential to be muddy and I would encourage students to wear old runners and bring a plastic bag, towel and a spare sports uniform to change in to after the race.

Spectators are welcome to come along and support at the carnival.
