Patterson River House Swimming Carnival
On Tuesday, 12th February the College House Swimming Carnival was held in not so perfect weather conditions at the Pines Pool in Frankston. Despite the wintery conditions, some very brave students competed in a number of events and many students enthusiastically dressed up in House colours ready to cheer their house members on.
Thank you to all staff and students that helped out on the day and competed in events. Congratulations to all participants in Freeman who finished in first place at the end of the day.
The results are as follows:
1st - Freeman 452
2nd - Derrimut 417
3rd - Aston 275
4th - Monash 238
Congratulations and good luck to the 24 students who have qualified for the Northern Peninsula Division Swimming Championships to be held on Thursday, 14th March at the Pines Pool.
Coast Guard ‘Around the River Fun Run’ – Sunday 24th February 2019
Patterson River Secondary College was strongly represented by 91 staff and students donning the ‘Eel’ at the recent Patterson River Coast Guard Fun Run. Competitors could choose to compete in either the 6km run or walk, or the 12km run. We had 5, 12km runners and 86, 6km runners including 9 staff.
We were blessed with perfect conditions for runners and walkers alike and our results didn’t disappoint.
For some, this was a first time event and for others, an opportunity to better their times from last year.
We really appreciate the parents/guardians, students and staffs' willingness to give up their time on the weekend to partake in an event that supports our local community and highlights what amazing athletes we have within our College.
We are thrilled to be able to announce that we WON the 12km team event and won the Perpetual School Trophy.
Our individual results were also incredible.
