Years 7-12 Sport
Competitive Sport
We have hit the ground running with our competitive sport and several teams will be beginning their fixtures next week. Please see further information below regarding our different sport options:
SCISSA Soccer and Volleyball
Letters will be emailed out to parents in the coming days regarding students who have expressed interest in competing in either Yr 7-10 SCISSA Soccer or Yr 11-12 SCISSA Volleyball. It is important that parents read the information letter and then provide consent in Parent Lounge. This Friday will be used to finalise teams and to confirm who will be on which teams. It is important that once a student has committed, they do not withdraw part way through the season as this can become a huge challenge for their teammates, coaches and myself.
Game schedules for Round 1 this coming Wednesday 7th February will be released to students and parents once the draw is completed on the weekend. Due to the tight turnaround between determining teams and fixtures starting, we may not be able to have all teams in their playing shirts before the first round. We will advise students of this and will ask teams to play in their PLC sport shirt if need be. If you have any questions at any stage, please contact me at ljacka@pactluth.qld.edu.au
Monday Night Netball
We have had an overwhelming response with netball sign-ups for 2024 and after having 9 teams in the competition last year, we will have another 9 this year. Coaches will be in touch with students over the next week with details regarding training and fixtures. Game schedules for teams will be visible from the PLC NAV calendar once the draw is released. After all teams have been confirmed, students will be advised when to go to Sport Office in their teams to collect the netball dresses.
If parents have any questions about the PLC netball program, please contact netball coordinator Michelle Dufty at mdufty@pacluth.qld.edu.au
