Rugby Finals:

Last night, we had two PLC teams compete in the SCSSRU finals at Maroochydore. Our U14 Gold team kicked off the night, unfortunately going down to Grammar in the Division 2 Semi-Final. The girls have done a fantastic job improving their skills across the season and should be proud of their efforts and sportsmanship.

Our U14 Blue team had the opportunity to compete in the Division 1 Semi-Final against Siena Catholic College. The girls displayed an incredible defensive effort, keeping the opposition in their own half for the majority of the game and coming away with a convincing win of 27-5! The girls had then had the opportunity to play Flinders in the Division 1 Grand Final, a first for any PLC team. The girls again left it all on the field and showed their grit and determination against a very strong opposition. Although the girls weren’t able to come away with the Grand Final win, they should be incredibly proud of the way they represented PLC Rugby, an incredible effort.

I extend my thanks to coach, Jack Packer and am grateful for the constant support of our parents. I look forward to continuing to work with both groups of girls as they continue to grow their confidence and skill in the game.

Mr Josh Cummins, Head of Rugby

Basketball:

Congratulations to our Senior Boys 2nds Team for winning their division grand final on Friday! The boys played exceptionally well and pushed through a tight few quarters before running away with the game. A well deserved win for the players and coach Mr Hauser.

In other basketball news, we wish our Senior CBSQ Boys and Girls all the best in their competition over the next 4 days. A big thank you to Mr Burdon and the tremendous efforts he has put into the basketball program this year.

A quick reminder that there are still basketball fixtures this week so please make sure you check Clipboard and advise Mr West or Mr Burdon prior to Friday if players are unable to attend.

Currimundi Schools’ Aquathlon:

Well done to our small group of athletes who competed at the 2024 Currimundi Schools’ Aquathlon last week. This partial Triathlon run by AUS Triathlon was a great challenge for students to push themselves against competitors from other schools. Our PLC Athletes did themselves proud with many of our students finishing in the top 5 in their age groups. We are looking forward to being a part of this competition as it continues to grow in 2025 and beyond.

Competitive Netball Trials:

In Term 4, Michelle Dufty and Ash Ervine will be running trials for our 2025 Netball Season. We are looking forward to seeing all keen netball players attend these trials in order to help us prepare for next year.

Please see the following dates:

21st October (3:30-4:30pm): Intermediate Girls Trials (Current Year 8 and 9 students)
