Competitive Sport News

Well done to all our teams who played in their first competitive SCISSA sport fixtures this week.

Please note that fixtures for the rest of the SCISSA Volleyball and Soccer season will be entered into Clipboard and emailed out to all parents by the end of the week. Information regarding venues and bus departures and arrivals will be found in this fixture information.

SCISSA Junior and Intermediate Soccer

It was fantastic to have all our soccer teams competing in the first round, with the Junior Boys team 1 and Intermediate Boys travelling to Glasshouse Christian College while the Junior Girls, Junior Boys team 2 and Intermediate Girls travelled to Sunshine Coast Grammar, Immanuel Lutheran College and Good Shepard Lutheran College respectively. The Junior Boys team 1 seemed to click immediately as they worked well as a group and got a comfortable win over Glasshouse. The Intermediate Boys, Junior Boys team 2 and Junior Girls battled hard in their fixture but were unable to overcome spirited opponents in their first round of the season. This aside, the Intermediate Girls were able to play some good quality football and put 6 goals in the back of the net for a strong round 1 victory. It was great to get the first game ticked off and we are looking forward to seeing how our teams progress across the season. A big thank you to Miss Horsey, Alexander Lee and Jack Best for their work with their Soccer teams this afternoon.

SCISSA Senior Volleyball

There are 4 senior Volleyball teams who are going to be competing in the senior SCISSA competition this term. The Senior Boys Team 1 had a tough first set of games against very experienced sides and will be better for the experience. Special mention goes to the Senior Girls team 2 who were able to win both sets in their opening match against Glasshouse CC and take home a win. There were some students missing from teams this round and this is a timely reminder to students that when they have signed up and have committed to teams, it is important to be present at all games to make sure they are supporting their teammates and coaches. If they can’t make games, please ensure they contact their coaches. Thank you to Mr Brace, Sarah Ashdown, Georgie Snelling and Henry Friend for their work with the PLC Volleyball teams this week.

Run Club

Run club started up this Tuesday with a fantastic turn out of students from Years 3 through to 10. It was a hot, humid morning but the students bought into the run and students ran some strong times for their first Run Club session of the year. Consistent attendance at these sessions is recommended for students to maximise progress in their cardiovascular endurance. Please email me at ljacka@pacluth.qld.edu.au if you are looking to attend any future Tuesday morning sessions.
