Vicki Wilson Netball

We have 4 teams representing the College at the prestigious Queensland Vicki Wilson Secondary School Competition.  The preliminary competition is held on Friday 17th May, where the top two teams in Vicki Wilson Cup and Vicki Wilson Shield divisions will represent Sunshine Coast Secondary Schools, playing in the final series at Nissan Arena in August. We wish our teams all the best in their preparations for this event. Thank you to Michelle Dufty for her incredible work with our players.

 

SCISSA Soccer and Volleyball

Senior Soccer:

Round 2 for our Senior SCISSA teams saw a night of mixed results. Our Senior B Boys travelled to Good Shepherd and went down 4-1 against a spirited opposition. The Senior Girls were competitive in their fixture and went down 1-0 in a tight tussle. Well done to our Senior A Boys for a strong 5-1 win.

Junior and Intermediate Volleyball:

It was a tough night for our Volleyball teams with many teams experiencing close matches in their fixtures. An honourable mention goes to the Intermediate A Boys who were only just pipped by Matthew Flinders in close sets. Congratulations to Junior A Boys for their second win on the trot as well as the Junior B Girls for winning in their first game of the season! We look forward to seeing all teams at training during Friday sport.

 

13-19 yrs. District Cross Country

A big thank you to the 55 PLC students who came and represented PLC at the Independent District Cross Country on Tuesday the 30th April. It was fantastic to take such a big team to the event and all of our runners competed to their best pushing themselves over a muddy course.

We improved our standings from last year and finished 6th from 11 schools. I am looking forward to seeing us improve again next year in this event.  A big congratulations to Logan Pohlner and Sofia Hutchinson for finishing 6th in their age groups.
