Congratulations to Old Collegian, Grace Brown (2010), who recently achieved a remarkable milestone in her racing career with a spectacular victory at the Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes classic in Belgium. In the 153km race, Grace surged ahead of an elite group, solidifying her position as the first Australian woman to claim victory in one of cycling's prestigious Monuments. Additionally, her triumph secured her team, FDJ-SUEZ, its inaugural Monument win.

Last week, the PLC Pipe Band travelled to Maryborough in Victoria to compete in the 2024 Australian Pipe Band Championships. The Biennial event boasted 36 bands from all over the country, including many of the top school bands competing in their respective juvenile grades. PLC were awarded Runners Up in Novice B and can now consider themselves as the second-best band in their grade. The drum corps also achieved a second place overall and walked away with the top prize for best dressed.

Our Year 7 and 8 Junior Swim Team excelled at the GSV Division 1 Championships, finishing an incredible second overall in the Junior Division! This achievement marks the highest result ever attained by a PLC Year 7 and 8 carnival team, we couldn't be prouder of their exceptional performance and accomplishments.

We congratulate all our PLC Tennis teams for representing PLC with integrity, humility and outstanding competitive spirits for the 2024 Tennis Season. Our nine teams, totaling 72 students, progressed through to Finals to play at Melbourne Park. This marked a historic moment, with four teams crowned GSV Premiers, four teams as 2024 Runners-Up and five teams achieving Zone Winners status from the Home and Away rounds. The Senior A & B Grade teams demonstrated remarkable success, defeating their opponents while conceding only 25 games throughout the season.

It was nothing short of spectacular as 60 of our alumni gathered for our Class of 1994 school reunion. In an afternoon filled with laughter, nostalgia and a fabulous trip down memory lane, the highlight for many was the school tour, an exciting journey for many who hadn't stepped foot on campus in the last 30 years. While the school has seen changes, the flood of memories remained timeless. It was wonderful to see everyone having such a great time, reconnecting with old friends and reminiscing about the good old days.
