Competitive Sport News
Basketball
Well done for another great round of competition. A few teams that needed wins, unfortunately, didn’t quite get there last week. Well done to those (regardless of the score) who kept on persisting and represented the College well once again. A big thank you to all teams for your commitment throughout the season. We had a few Year 9s (and one coach) turn up to play after being away for two weeks on camp!
Please note that for most teams, this week will be your last week of the season. Could all who are finishing up please return their uniforms asap. Players will need to bring them to Mrs Muir and sign them back as returned. Anyone who does not return uniforms may be charged a fee to cover the replacement cost.
There are a few teams who will be depending on this week’s results as well, so all the best to you. A special mention goes to the Intermediate B Boys, Junior C Girls and Intermediate A Girls teams who have all qualified to play semi-finals regardless of results this week.
SCISSA Rugby 7’s
Congratulations to all players again on another successful night of Rugby. It was exciting to see the high physicality and competitiveness shine through in all the games last night. Our U13 boys and girls had a fantastic opportunity to play on an immaculate Sunshine Coast Stadium field for their games last night. Our 13 girls are continuing to go from strength to strength, defeating both Matthew Flinders and Suncoast Christian College in some tight, hard-fought games. Our U13 boys started steadily, posting a draw against Matthew Flinders and following this up with a convincing defeat of Suncoast. Our U14 boys continued their successful run in their season defeating Good Shepherd and Nambour Christian College while achieving a draw against a tough St Andrews side. Finally, our U16 girls continued their undefeated streak in their season overcoming Glasshouse in what was a physical and skill-filled match and backing this up with a convincing win against Immanuel Lutheran College. Out of the 5 teams we have nominated in the competition, 4 of those teams have continued to remain undefeated, an incredible and successful feat! Well done to all the coaches, parents and players on their continued spirit and sportsmanship in all our fixtures.
SCISSA Tennis
Currently, we have 2 teams of Middle College students representing PLC in SCISSA Tennis Fixtures. Our students have competed to their best in their games, with players showing improvement as the term progresses. It has been a bit of an inconsistent start with some weather issues, but it is great that we had our games go ahead last night. Team 2 had a successful night at Matthew Flinders, taking the matches to a draw, but winning on points. Team 1 are playing well in a tough division coming up against a strong Senior students’ teams in fixtures. Best of luck to all.
Years 7-10 Friday Sport Week 6-8
Week 5 will see the conclusion of our regular Friday Sport program for Years 7-10 students and we will move into 3 weeks of alternate sporting activities. Students who have been involved in 2 or more PLC competitive sport teams throughout the year have been given the option to register their interest to participate in Beach Activities at Kings Beach in Weeks 6-8. Students need to have registered their interest on the Sport NAV Page by the 28th of October to be considered. Information and a request for parental consent will be sent out early next week to successful students. For students not attending the beach activities, we will be running rotational inter-house challenges during Friday Sport time for the remainder of the year.
