College Sport at Mount Carmel

This week a letter was distributed regarding sport to all parents/carers. Please see the key information below detailed in this letter: 

For the first time in many months there have been some positive developments on the school sport and physical activity front. Inter-school sports (including MISA) are now permitted with no restrictions on schools travelling outside of their local community. As a result, from Tuesday 21 October we will return to using buses to both support and add scope to the delivery of College sport. With this in mind, please see below an overview of the safety and hygiene protocols in place for travelling to off-site venues. The protocols have been informed by advice from NSW Health, NSW Transport and the Catholic Education, Diocese of Wollongong. 

  • Students will only travel to venues who have provided the Sport Coordinator with a COVID-19 Safety Plan. 
  • The number of students and staff on buses will enable social distancing between students and their accompanying teacher. 
  • Hand sanitiser will be available for students. Students should use hand sanitiser before and after participating in activities/travelling on a bus. 
  • Students may wear a mask, however this is not compulsory.
  • Whilst travelling on buses, students must maintain good personal hygiene, including coughing and sneezing into their elbow and disposing of tissues appropriately.
  • Students are required to take their own water bottles to offsite venues.  
All efforts are being made to provide opportunities for students to safely return to their intended sport schedule. If you have any queries, please contact Ms Sarah Bowen at the College via a phone call to 9603 3000 or email to bowens01@dow.catholic.edu.au

Term 4 MISA 

The decision was made during the school holidays that MISA would now go ahead for Term 4 to provide students with an opportunity to participate in a competitive sporting competition. During week 1 MISA trials took place. Students are encouraged to view the information outside the sports office and in the sport schedule for trials during week 2. Please note that some sports selected their teams following the week 1 trial.

Non-Participation

Students are reminded that College Sport is a compulsory requirement of enrolment at Mount Carmel Catholic College. 

  • If a student is unable to participate in sport on any given Tuesday they must provide a note signed by their parent/guardian to the Sports Coordinator at recess on the day that they cannot participate.
