Rugby:

Congratulations to PLC students Louie McCormac, Jairus Patelesio and Hayden Cole who recently represented the Sunshine Coast District team at the U15 Rugby State Championship in Brisbane. The three boys were selected from a highly competitive trial that consisted of schools from the North Brisbane and Sunshine Coast Region, with only 23 players selected. At the state carnival they came 6th overall, from 12 regions that were represented from across QLD. It is fantastic to hear that the boys played with excellent spirit, formed good bonds with team mates and represented PLC and Sunshine Coast Rugby exceptionally.

Senior Schools Cup Volleyball:

Over the weekend, we had 2 teams represent PLC at the Queensland wide Senior Schools Cup Volleyball Tournament held at the Gold Coast. Our Boys and Girls teams had been training all year to prepare for this event. Both teams performed admirably at the competition, winning their first round matches and then going down in nail biters in the second. The Senior Girls ended up 3rd in their pool and won their cross over on Saturday Night. The Senior Boys ended up 2nd and won their cross over to give them a shot at a medal match for the final day. The Senior Girls ended up 6th and the Boys 4th in their divisions after the 3 days of competition. This trip was a good finish for our Year 12 Girls players who have been playing since Year 7 and had already been on 2 representative trips beforehand. This was our Senior Boys first experience at a tournament, and they exceeded expectations playing their way into a potential medal match.

A big thank you to the staff who went with the teams, Miss Sarah Ashdown, Miss Georgie Snelling, Mr Brace and Mrs Croke. Special mention goes to Mrs Croke who continually goes above and beyond to make sure the teams are looked after down at these volleyball trips.  Preparations for our 2025 Senior Volleyball Squads are beginning soon!
