Year 7 - 12 Sport

Competitive Sport News

We encourage students to consider participating in Pacific Representative sport options available this year. These are separate activities to Competitive Sport options as they are either short tournaments or one-off carnivals. Please note that some representative options such as CBSQ Basketball, Senior Schools Cup Volleyball, Vicki Wilson Netball and Sunshine Coast Secondary Indoor Netball are not included in this list as students will be invited from inside current competitive sport groups.

If any students have questions about opportunities, they are encouraged to contact ljacka@pacluth.qld.edu.au

SCISSA Junior and Intermediate Soccer

As we draw close to the end of the season, it was great to see our teams push forward with the focus on a potential finals berth. Our Intermediate Boys and Junior Girls played extremely well in very close games. Both Junior Boys teams took to the field this week with confidence and both teams displayed great skill to come away with wins. Junior Boys Team won 3-2 against Matthew Flinders and Junior Boys Team 2 were able to score 6 goals to 1 against Matthew Flinders’ Team 2. Well, done to Lucas von Plessen and Marcel Patullo who both scored hat tricks in the 6-1 win. Congratulations to the Intermediate Girls who continue their good form with a win, pushing strongly for a finals berth.

SCISSA Senior Volleyball

Well done to our Senior Volleyball teams for another competitive round in the SCISSA Competition. Special mention to both our Senior Boys and Girls teams for their wins this week. Our Senior Boys were down after losing their first set 13-25 and came back in the next two sets in an exhilarating win. It was a great display of determination and teamwork. Congratulations to all players and coach Mr Paul Brace. While the result did not go our way for our Senior B teams, we congratulate them on the fantastic effort as both teams took their matches to the deciding third set. Our teams are gearing up for one last strong performance as we head into the last round competition before the finals.
