College Sport at Mount Carmel
At this stage, Years 7-10 students will be participating in ONE period of structured physical activity / sport on a Tuesday afternoon. The other sport period will be utilised as a ‘class work catch up’ opportunity, as it is anticipated that many students will require this time as they transition back into full time face to face learning. Years 11 and 12 will spend the afternoon studying and catching up on outstanding class work. A more detailed outline of what the students will be participating in is outlined below:

- Maintain social distancing: We will have less students utilising the College sporting facilities / ovals at the one time.
- No shared equipment: We have chosen to facilitate activities / sports where there is little to no equipment. This is to avoid students having to share equipment with others.
- Promote movement and physical activity: We understand that many students would’ve found it challenging to find opportunities to be physically active whilst remote learning so we want to ease them back into physical activity and movement.
- Allow valuable time to ‘catch up’ on outstanding work: We understand that many students will need an opportunity to catch up on outstanding class work. Pastoral advisors have been deliberately allocated their Pastoral Class for the sport afternoon to assist where necessary.
As mentioned earlier, this adjusted approach will continue to evolve and develop as does the guidance and advice from the CEO.
A reminder that all Term 2 MISA, Diocesan, CCC, All Schools and School Sport Australia events have been cancelled (and unfortunately will NOT be rescheduled), as well as the following College sporting events:

So do you want to take on the 'MCCC March in May' challenge?
'MCCC March in May' (Stage 4, 5 and 6 categories)
With all of the COVID-19 restrictions we have all had to adjust the way we stay physically active. Studies have shown that walking has become one of the most popular physical activities during this time. There are so many positive outcomes to walking only 30 minutes each day.
All you need to do is:
- Register via the Google form on your Sport Site.
- Walk a minimum of 10,000 steps each day.
- Get proof that you have completed this step goal (take a photo of your Fit Bit screen, wear a pedometer, use an app on your phone that tracks your steps) and save your photos in a folder on your Google drive.
- Share your photo folder with Mrs Pontin (pontint01@dow.catholic.edu.au).
IT IS THAT SIMPLE!
Each time you reach your 10,000 step goal 20 points are awarded to your house tally. The house with the most points at the end of May will be our 2020 'MCCC March in May' champions!
If you require more information, please contact Mrs Pontin via email (pontint01@dow.catholic.edu.au).
Good luck and happy walking!
NB: A reminder to please ask for permission from a parent / carer before going for a walk and ensure you are walking on a designated pedestrian pathway (not the road).
Thank you to Mrs Marks for your fab suggestion :)
TIPS TO LOOK AFTER YOURSELF DURING THESE UNUSUAL TIMES
As we are all very aware, these past 5-6 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.
As we return to full time face to face teaching and learning next week, it is important to continue following the useful suggestions and guidance on how to keep yourself and others safe during COVID-19. These tips are below:
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.
