Competitive Sport News:

Basketball:

Last Friday saw the beginning of the Senior Friday Night Basketball Competition. Congratulations to our Senior A Boys and Senior D Boys for their strong wins. While our Senior D Girls and Senior F Boys went down in tight games, both teams competed strongly in their first games together. Thank you to all coaches for working with their teams. It won’t be long until our Juniors and Intermediates start and we will begin passing on team information to these players soon. We have an incredible 16 teams representing PLC in the competition this year and we look forward to seeing our players and teams develop across the season.

Touch Football:

PLC had 10 teams on the field to kick off a very chilly Round 1 of SCISSA Touch Football. It was great to see the commitment from our students considering the cold weather (and State of Origin). Well done to our Intermediate A Boys, Junior A Boys, Junior B Boys and Intermediate B Girls on their wins. Our teams will be working hard again at training before our next games to aim for improvement. A quick reminder for students to check the game details on PLC Nav Calendar or Clipboard to make sure they are at meeting places on time.

Student Acknowledgements:

 Well done to the students listed below for their outstanding achievements in sport:

• Jared Moss for his selection in the QLD team based on his performances in the recent AFL national championships representing the Brisbane Lions Academy. Brisbane Lions Academy finished 3rd overall in the championships, which is a fantastic result.

• Thomas Ackhurst for his ski performances when representing PLC in the Interschool Regional Ski Championships. Tom competed in 2 events, Alpine where he received a gold medal result and Ski X where he received a silver medal for Queensland. Tom has now qualified to compete in the Australian National Interschool Ski Championships to be held in September this year at Perisher.

 • Danica Cockburn for representing the Sunshine Coast at 17-18yr QLD state Championships at the end of last term. This was Danicas third year making the team, which is notable considering the amount of interest in the trials and the small number they can allow in the team.
