DIOCESAN EVENTS – TERM 2

Mount Carmel is a part of the Diocese of Wollongong so we compete in Diocesan Sporting events throughout the college year. At these events / carnivals, schools from the Diocese of Wollongong come together to compete for points towards the Vince Villa Trophy that is awarded to the Champion School at the end of the college year. Mount Carmel historically performs well at these Diocesan events and last year finished a close 3rd place overall in the Vince Villa Trophy.

NSWCCC Rugby League Trials

On Friday and Saturday of last week Jabriel Kalache (Year 11) and Feiloaki Feiloakitohi (Year 12) played as members of the Southern Country Rugby League team at the annual CCC Rugby League trials held at St Mary’s. Both of the boys played in the Under 18’s division.

They had 2 physical games on the Friday, particularly the game against a strong MCS team. The won their first match 26-0 and lost their match against MCS in the final 4 minutes of game time. They then played another physically challenging game on Saturday morning against MCC unfortunately losing.

Congratulations to both of the boys for their efforts in a challenging trial environment. It certainly isn’t easy joining a team of other rugby league players who you have never met before and being expected to mesh on and off the field. Well done. Thank you to Mr Huntly for being the assistant coach for the Under 18’s team. Your guidance of our students would have been great as always and the boys would've got some comfort and confidence seeing a familiar face on the sideline.
