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

Monday Night Netball

It has been wonderful to see all Pacific teams develop their netball skill and work as a team this term. Overall, all teams are sitting in very promising positions in their respective competitions. We wish all the players and coaches a relaxing break and look forward to seeing the teams continue their good form next term.

Monday Night Netball

Information regarding the 7–12 Cross Country Carnival was sent out via email to families last week. A reminder that the event is on the first Friday back in Term Two – Friday 19th April. See details below.

Date:              Friday 19th April 2024.

Time:             1:30pm.

Venue:           Pacific Lutheran College and Meridan Plains Sports Fields.

Uniform:         House sports uniform and hat. Hats are required to be worn whilst cheering but are not required when running. Students must also wear suitable running shoes and not bare feet.

Required:       Water bottle, spare shoes / uniform to change into after event if conditions are wet.

From the weather we have had this term the course has a high potential to be muddy and I would encourage students to wear old runners and bring a plastic bag, towel and a spare sports uniform to change in to after the race.

Spectators are welcome to come along and support at the carnival.

Term Overview

Well done to all students who engaged in competitive sport this term. There were some fantastic results amongst the SCISSA Soccer and Volleyball competitions, along with the Monday Night Netball and Trish Buckley Competitions. I would also like to thank all the parents for supporting and encouraging Pacific students to get involved in sport. Sport is a fantastic way to strengthen friendships and form new ones. Student engagement in sport is currently at its highest, and we thank Pacific parents for your valuable encouragement in making this happen.

I would also like to thank all our sport coaches for their commitment to training and games and for supporting students through their skill development and general passion for sport.

Acting as Head of Sport in Mr Cameron West-McInnes’s absence has been a fantastic experience. This opportunity has continued to illustrate the importance of providing avenues for students to be involved in sport. Please continue to encourage your children to be involved in sport at Pacific. Sport provides our young people with the opportunity to experience all Pacific has to offer. It allows students to continue to develop a sense of personal wellbeing, physical prowess and confidence as they become young men and women.

Student Achievement

We congratulate Gemma Bryce, Year 7 student, who was elected in the Sunshine Coast Regional Touch team who will compete in Rockhampton this June. Gemma also recently competed in the QLD Surf Lifesaving titles over the weekend in the Ironwoman, Sprint, All Aged Relay, U12 Mixed Relay, Board Rescue and Cameron Relay events, finishing with some great results. Gemma, best result however, was in the U12 Swim Team event where she claimed 2nd place. Fantastic effort Gemma.
