So the question is then raised - What will College sport look like at Mount Carmel if remote learning continues in Term 2? Planning has taken place at both a College and Diocesan level to ensure that our students are given valuable and safe options to not only be physically active, but to also engage in meaningful sport opportunities. Strategies that will be implemented at the beginning of Term 2 include (but are not limited to):
These strategies will continue to evolve throughout the holidays (as does the COVID-19 situation) and will be advertised to all students and parents / guardians. Some exciting and ‘different’ sporting opportunities coming your way! |
TIPS TO LOOK AFTER YOURSELF THESE HOLIDAYS
As we are all very aware, these past 3-4 weeks have been extremely exhausting - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and socially. We have constantly been challenged with the many spontaneous changes and decisions that have been made regarding the health and safety of our community in light of the COVID-19 situation.
We are also all aware that this holiday break won’t be a ‘traditional’ holiday. When we would perhaps venture away to a holiday destination, we will be remaining at home. When we would usually be sharing our Easter festivities with our loved ones, we will be sharing them with fewer people around the table. However, despite these obvious differences, we will all get through this and come out the other side stronger.
Below are a few simple tips to keep yourself, and your loved ones, healthy, safe and happy during the Easter break.
TIP #1 - Follow the simple health advice to protect yourself and those around you.
TIP #2 - Put some time aside to be mindful and present.
TIP #3 - Incorporate some physical activity into each day.
NB: Don’t forget to remember our social distancing rules.
TIP #4 - Stay connected with family and friends.
NB: Don’t forget to remember our social distancing rules.

CSNSW Sport is working closely with all Diocesan and Association Representatives to ensure all information is current and available to parents.
Refunds:
- Each Diocese has their own process for actioning refunds. Please be patient as we work through these. Any questions should be directed to the contact details found on the top of your invoice.
- Students who have been selected in a Polding / MacKillop / NSWCCC team will be contacted directly to organise refunds and discuss uniform options. The CSNSW Sport store has been closed, for now no merchandise can be purchased until further notice.
Understandably, this decision will likely have a flow on effect for all sporting events (Diocesan, CCC etc) moving forward in 2020. Information will be communicated as the situation continues to develop and unfold. More School Sport Australia information can be found at School Sport Australia - Education through school sport.
