Pool Lifesaving Club
Before the school year commenced in January, Sunshine Coast Grammar Pool Lifesaving Club had thirty club members compete at the 2025 Australian Pool Lifesaving Championships (APLSC) in Sydney. We defended the Club National Championship for the fifth year in a row. We came away with twenty-two Individual National Championships and seven team National Championships
Last week, we had nine Sunshine Coast Grammar Pool Lifesaving club members officially announced as Australian Representatives in the Australian Royal Lifesaving Team heading to Wales to compete at the 2025 Commonwealth Lifesaving Championships.
We are excited to share that Year 9 student Reagan C, has been selected in the Australian Royal Lifesaving Development Team. Reagan won one individual championship in the 200m obstacles and was part of three Under16 Team National Championships in the SERC, Obstacle Relay and Manikin Relay. I am looking forward to working with Reagan as she prepares for the Commonwealth Championships.
Grammar students who also competed at the APLSC including Mikail S , Ellie O, Luke Y Tom B, Owen B, Ari W, Jetsun D and Zara S.
FOOTBALL
Our 2025 season of Football started last weekend with our first set of home games! We were excited to launch the season with 13 of our 20 teams playing at the school. It was fantastic to see our first-time players across our age groups and especially the Under 6 Preps playing their first game of football in Grammar colours. They certainly showed their enthusiasm and energy for the game.
Our returning players also showed their skills across our age groups with our teams now covering U6 through to Under 15 girls. It is fantastic to see our girls’ teams continuing to grow in numbers with our Grammar Football Club now boasting a 50% ratio of Boys and girls.
Thank you to all the supporters on Saturday braving the intermittent showers and cheering loudly for our Grammar teams. It was great to see our Grammar football family community spirit.
I would also like to recognise and thank the ongoing contributions and support of our Club Sponsors once again for our upcoming 2025 season:
Platinum Sponsor – GeoDrill Australia
Gold Sponsor - Piggyback Restaurant
Silver Sponsors - The End Game & Infectious Clothing
A massive thank you to our volunteer coaches who have donated their time to guide our young players over the season and our Supporters Committee who have been working in the background to assist in getting our season up and running.
We are requiring a Canteen Manager to assist us with our home games. If this sounds like you and you can commit to a Saturday morning supporting and raising money for our club, please reach out - football@scgs.qld.edu.au.
RUGBY
Our first Tate's Mates of the year was a great success. It was fantastic to see so many enthusiastic young students participate in the program.
Shout out to all of our fantastic coaches and senior players for running drills and games and creating a wonderful culture of inclusion, passion and friendship.
Thank you to our Rugby community for attending our Sign On Day last week. A huge thank you to our incredible 2025/2026 sponsors and supporters.
