PRSC Annual House Athletics Carnival
Earlier this term saw our second college based sporting carnival take place. Term 1 was for our swimmers and this Term was all about Track and Field athletes at Ballam Park Athletics Track.
This year was again a huge success with students packing out all running, jumping and throwing events ensuring that a healthy yet spirited competition was felt all day. All staff and students are to be congratulated for creating another wonderful event and I look forward to September when our qualifying athletes compete at the Northern Peninsula Division Athletics Carnival.

NPD Cross Country
This year Patterson River fielded a team of 82 students at the Northern Peninsula Division Cross Country Carnival held at Ballam Park. Pleasingly the students put in a fantastic effort in all races, producing some terrific results throughout the day. With each race being so competitive it was an amazing effort to have 15 students qualify through to the Southern Metropolitan Regional Carnival to be held in June. Within the 15 qualifiers included our senior boys team who won the teams category in the male 17-20 years race.

NPD Interschool Sport
Traditionally Term 2 is our busiest time of the year for Sport as our 'big three' are played this term being Netball, Soccer and AFL (both male and female). These bigger sports allow many of our students to compete and is the building blocks of our strong sporting culture.
Already this year our Senior boys Baseball team progressed through to the Southern Metro Regional Finals and within the past two weeks our Senior boys successfully won Northern Peninsula Division Championship Pennants in AFL, Soccer and Badminton. a near perfect clean sweeping of the Senior Division Sports. A fantastic effort by all staff and students involved!
To finish off the term we have plenty of Interschool Sport Carnivals still to be played out, including all of our Junior Sport in which Patterson River will continue to strive for excellence in the sporting arena.
