Dear parents, friends, staff and students,
This Sunday’s Gospel is John 8: 1- 11. It is the story where a woman is brought to Jesus by the pharisees to be stoned for adultery. Jesus bends down and starts to write in the sand and when He looks up, He says: “If there is one of you who has not sinned, let him be the first to throw a stone”. The crowd turns and walks away. We should keep in mind that this is only a few weeks prior to our Easter readings where we know that Jesus will be accused, condemned, and crucified by the same crowd. Why is it that the crowd recognises their injustice with the accused woman, but does not see the same injustice with the condemnation of Jesus? Some scholars ask what it was that Jesus wrote in the sand. Was it sins that we commonly commit or perhaps the names of those accusing? Either way, the crowd realised that looking within themselves was essential before passing judgement on others. In the lead up to our own Easter, we are given the opportunity annually to reflect on our lives, our goals and our actions. In considering this, repentance for things we may have done wrong requires a desire to improve. This leads to hope. We must remember that the sadness of Good Friday is always followed by the joy of Easter Sunday.
Last newsletter I mentioned that our main focus for improvement as an educational community this year was based on student learning growth and will be characterised by High Impact Teaching Strategies (HITS). These will help to make small but regular improvements. HITS involve things like goal setting, clear structures and explicit teaching and learning. These are things that students and teachers can aim to achieve. Over the school holidays, I encourage the students to consider their own goals and set themselves clear expectations and structures. This will support the work that is currently being done by teachers in this area.
As we move toward the last week of term, a reminder regarding enrolment applications for Year 7, 2026. The deadline for these to be submitted is the last day of this term, Friday April 11. If you have a child in year 6 or know someone who is considering an application to Mount Carmel, please be aware of this date and let them know.
This will be the final newsletter for this term. Thank you to all students for your cooperation and parents for your support over the first term. Education is a partnership and requires input from all three parties to be successful. I wish you all a holy Easter and hope that you will get some down time to spend with family.
Ite in Veritate
Mr Steve Lo Cascio
The Power of Partnership
In the journey of academic growth, the collaboration between parents, students, and school plays a crucial role in shaping a student’s future.
Parents provide the foundation of support at home, encouraging students to stay motivated and engaged. When parents are involved in their child’s education, they show that learning is a priority – e.g. supporting your young person to be at school on time; to set and maintain regular homework and study routines; to prioritise boundaries at home that minimise distractions from learning and upholding student responsibilities and accountabilities in relation to assessment tasks and learning in class. This supportive involvement helps students develop a positive attitude toward their studies, which directly impacts their performance.
Mount Carmel offers resources and opportunities for students to expand their knowledge, but this growth is amplified when parents stay connected with the school community. Regular communication with teachers, counsellors, and college advisors can help address challenges early, providing students with the tools they need to succeed.
Students, at the heart of this partnership, benefit from the guidance and support they receive at home and school. Pastoral programs and clear student expectations at Mount Carmel assist students in taking an active role in their learning, where they become more accountable and self-motivated, knowing they have a strong network backing them up.
The ongoing Personalised Learning Plan (PLP) conferences for collaborating reasonable adjustments with and for students and the upcoming Year 12 Parent-Student-Teacher Interviews this coming week are important avenues that are structured to ensure this powerful partnership is accessible, positive, and student learning growth is prioritised.
A strong partnership between students, parents, and our staff, fosters an environment where students not only excel academically but also feel supported emotionally and mentally. When parents, students, and our staff work together, the possibilities for student growth are limitless.
Stay safe, keep well, go gently.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PARENTS ABOUT THE NATIONALLY CONSISTENT COLLECTION OF DATA
All schools in Australia must participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data as mandated by the federal government. This data collection counts the number of students who require adjustments to be made at school to facilitate their learning. For some students, these adjustments may be related to an identified disability, learning difficulty or medical condition.
The government has mandated this collection of data to gain a better understanding of the nature of adjustments and support provided to students within school communities.
The legislated definition of disability is very broad and includes learning difficulties like ADHD as well as medical conditions such as anaphylaxis, asthma, diabetes, and cystic fibrosis. The data collected does not identify your child or children, it relates only to the number of students in the school and the level of adjustment they require. The adjustment could be as simple as having medication kept in the school office or a seating arrangement within the classroom to support your child’s learning.
In keeping with government mandated requirements your child may have been included in this data collection, but they are not identified.
If you have any questions, please contact Learning support on the school phone number 02 9603 3000 or alternatively, you can email.

On Thursday 13 March, eight Year 10 House Captains attended the Student Climate Leadership Forum at the Australian Museum. During this day, our leaders engaged in ideation workshops to enhance their environmental consciousness, particularly relevant to our local school context. We heard from a range of inspiring guest speakers including Kal Glanznig, a young Councillor who implemented ‘Plastic Free Cronulla’ as well as Sophia Skarparis, an environmental advocate for community action. These inspiring stories highlighted the immense impact young people, namely individuals can have in responding to climate change through powerful local action.
Our leaders also had the opportunity to create a Climate Action Plan for our school which they will continue to develop and implement later this year. This will help us fulfil our environmental obligation as Stewards of Creation, ensuring a sustainable and harmonious relationship with the Earth for future generations.

As we head into our final week of what has been a very busy and rewarding term, the past fortnight has seen a number of activities and events conducted that have provided opportunities for students to enhance their wellbeing, in a spiritual, academic and personal context.
We have seen students take part in Diocesan trials or Championships for Rugby League, Netball and Soccer, NSWCCC Swimming, Marist Gamechangers, Work Placement, Assessment Tasks across most year groups. Next week will see more Diocesan representative opportunities, our Easter Liturgy on Thursday and our annual Cross Country day on Friday April 11. A fantastic community event to cap off what has been a very fruitful term of engagement.
As students head off on a well earned break, some students and families may find the downtime of the holidays challenging in terms of overcoming boredom or finding things to do that continue to enhance the wellbeing of individuals. Both Campbelltown and Camden Councils are providing a range of events and activities to celebrate Youth Week, April 9 to 17, which coincides with the first week of the holiday break. Click on the image or the link below if you would like to explore some of the options that both councils are providing during this time.

Around the Grounds
Sport continues to bring energy and excitement to our college, with students showcasing their talent, determination, and teamwork across multiple events. It’s been an action-packed week filled with outstanding achievements and thrilling competitions.
We're also looking forward to our College Cross Country Carnival — a fun-filled day that promotes participation, fitness, and school spirit. Parents, please note that the school day will finish at 2:30 PM, with staff supervision available until normal afternoon buses. Year 12 students will finish earlier at 2:00 PM. We can’t wait to see our students showcasing their enthusiasm and talents across all events.
In the coming days, we have several key events on the calendar. On 8 April, our Open Boys will compete in the Diocesan Soccer competition. On 10 April, our Boys team will face St Greg's in the Bill Turner Cup. Then on 11 April, students will participate in the MCCC Cross Country.
At the NSWCCC Swimming Carnival held this week, Nathan Williams, Ava Antala, and Daniel Lill represented our school with pride. Nathan had an outstanding performance, qualifying for All Schools in all his events. He placed first in both the 400m and 100m freestyle, and came second in the 200m freestyle and 200m individual medley. Ava also qualified for All Schools after finishing second in the 200m individual medley. Daniel gave a strong performance throughout the day showing his hard work does pay off.
In the Bill Turner Trophy, our Girls team started strong with a 5–1 win over John Therry Catholic College. Selena was in exceptional form, scoring four goals. Lillian Jackson controlled the midfield with confidence, Lily Reecs was solid in defence, and Cara made several crucial saves in goals to keep the team ahead. It was a great result for our reigning area champions.
Our Marist Basketball team traveled to Melbourne for a challenging tournament. They started with a hard-fought game against Sacred Heart Adelaide, losing by 9 points (43-34). Their second match against Marcellin College Bulleen saw a tough final quarter, resulting in a 70-37 loss. However, they bounced back in Round 3 with a dominant 77-32 victory over Good Council College Innisfail. Day two brought more challenges, with a 54-39 loss to Marist Regional College Burnie and a narrow 64-57 defeat to Trinity College Beenleigh in a thrilling last-minute finish. On day three, the team secured a win against Marist Kogarah but fell to Sion College. Despite mixed results, the team has shown resilience and competitiveness in every game. While they are still searching for that final edge to close out games, they continue to represent Mount Carmel with pride, demonstrating the true spirit of our college.
Well done to all students involved in these events. We are proud of your efforts, your sportsmanship, and the way you represent our school.

Coming up against the first-placed team, the girls were determined to put in a strong performance and rise to the challenge. They displayed great lines and lengths with the ball, which resulted in multiple wickets and restricted our opposition to just 62 runs. With the bat, every pair showed excellent communication and aggressive running between the wickets, finishing their innings without losing a single wicket.

Basketball Years 10-12 Girls ABRN |
Semi Final Loss 25-17 |
Carla Bosco | The girls played well today but just left their run a little too late. In the second half, MCCC was closing the gap but just needed another 5 minutes to make some more 3’s. MVP was Carla, who was always composed and her defence was always on point. Chelsea, Eva and Via also had a good game but unfortunately luck was not on their side. As a result our attempts were unsuccessful. The girls will take on their lessons from today and play with more hunger, energy and focus when we meet THAC in the playoff for 3rd position next week. Let's finish off this season with a win, girls. |
|
Hockey Years 7-9 Girls ELID |
Win 2-0 |
Khloe Whyte | A great win to continue the team's progression throughout the term. The team is now unbeaten since round 2 leading into our final game of the season. They started with enthusiasm and dominated from the start of the game keeping OPAC in their own half for the entire first half. Lyla Greach finally broke the deadlock with 5 minutes to play with a quickly played free hit leaving her one on one with the keeper. As the team defended the lead, Khloe was the vocal leader that ensured everyone was focused on the game. Whilst we defended Haruka added a second goal to finish the game and we were unlucky to not score another goal. |

Win 2-0 | The Whole Team |
MCCC entered the game determined yet quietly confident, knowing their head-to-head record with Thomas Hassall stood at 1-1 this season. The first set was a fast-paced battle, with both teams showcasing quality skill and trading the lead multiple times. While solid serving was on display from both sides, MCCC’s excellent communication and teamwork allowed them to gain the upper hand and secure the first set. Carrying that momentum into the second set, the team came out strong from the first serve, making it difficult for the opposition to find their rhythm. Though their opponents rallied mid-set to close the gap, they couldn’t overcome MCCC’s stellar serving and gameplay, leading to a well-earned 2-0 victory. This match was a true display of skill and sportsmanship, and the MVP goes to the entire team for their unwavering support, teamwork, and determination — Congratulations girls on an outstanding win and a fantastic season! |

MVP - the Whole Team After a tough start to the competition, making it to the grand final was a fantastic achievement for the girls. Bowling first, they put in a disciplined performance to restrict MAS to just 80 runs. With determination, they went into bat against MAS, overcoming an early collapse with a strong fightback that left them needing just six runs from the final over. Unfortunately, two late wickets saw MCCC fall just eight runs short, but congratulations to the team on finishing second and making it to the grand final!  |

Basketball Years 10-12 Girls ABRN |
Loss 43-23 |
MVP - Eva De Guzman The girls started strong in our semi final game today however they just couldn’t stop the THAC players from coming away with the win. .We doubled up on key players but luck was not on our side. MCCC held in for the entire game and it looked like we might be in for a chance in the second half. Unfortunately THAC met us head to head and came out on top. Congratulations to Eva De Guzman for receiving MVP on the day and being our highest point scorer. It is always a pleasure to take the Senior BBall team but a special mention goes out to the coach of the season, Maria Da Mota. Maria could not play this season due to a knee injury. Helping with the coaching ensured she could still be a part of the team. Great work girls!  |

Loss 8-0 | Lara Underwood |
The girls had a tough opponent to end the season matching up against an experienced St Patrick’s team. Despite having very few subs, the girls all played hard up until the final whistle blew. There were some good team efforts in attack but the St Patrick’s team were solid in defence making it difficult for our girls to break their line. A solid game from our MVP Lara Underwood who not only worked hard in attack and defence but also communicated well throughout the entire game. A good season girls. |

Hockey Years 7-9 Girls ELID |
Draw | Fisiilose Feiloakitohi & the Whole Team |
After a learning curve in the first few weeks the girls pulled together to remain unbeaten since week 2. Although the score was 0-0 against the reigning champions and unbeaten Macarthur Anglican School we were the team dominating in both possession and field territory. Lyla was the most active player on the field and inspired the team with some impactful runs. Our backline was excellent and aggressive to every loose ball with MVP Fisiilose constantly winning possession in the midfield of the pitch. An amazing effort not only today but over the whole season. Well done girls! |
