College Sport
Tuesday Sport Participation
There is no doubt an inextricable link between participation in physical activity and heightened wellbeing. Mount Carmel Catholic College is a holistic school community that encourages students to fulfil their potential across a range of areas including sport and physical activity. This week I spoke to Year 7 regarding sporting opportunities available to them at the College. A key emphasis was placed on encouraging students to achieve their personal best. There are a range of sporting pathways and avenues available to students at a representative level however there are also a wide range of opportunities for all students to achieve their personal best through sport. The Tuesday sporting program is inclusive to all students and enables students to develop skills in a variety of contexts and to gain confidence through movement. I would like to encourage all students to challenge themselves through sport this year in whatever form that may look like for each individual student. As a result, the many benefits of movement and physical activity can be enjoyed.
Sport Permission Notes
Students have received an amended sport permission note earlier this week which will need to be returned by Monday 7 February. This note details that students may be required to travel to venues off-site. We are very fortunate to offer a wide range of sporting activities to students at the College. It is important that parents also include any key information relating to medical and health conditions that may impact their child's ability to participate in physical activity. It is important that the College remain informed about any changes to pre-existing conditions.

Sporting Success
On Sunday 30 January 2022, three Mount Carmel Students competed in the 2022 Australian Open Water Swimming Championships in Adelaide. They all swam 5km and achieved some great results.
- Ava Antala Year 9 - placed 14th - Girls 14 years.
- Nathan Williams Year 9 - placed 17th - Boys 15 years
- Blake Waugh Year 12 - place 4th - Boys 18 years
To achieve a National Qualifying time to swim at Australian Championships is the pinnacle of their sport in Australia. These students are very committed and train long hours to get to this level. We congratulate these students on these amazing results!
If your child or someone as part of our school community (past or present) experiences any sporting success. We would love to know about it. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any Sporting Success so we can recognise those achievements of our community.
