College Sport
Around the Grounds
With some wet weather around we had the postponement of Diocesan events across the previous week including Diocesan Cross Country and Diocesan Open Boys Football. Both of these events have been rescheduled for the coming week. The College also had the return of recreational sport on Tuesdays which was a huge success with high participation levels and many teams competing in Term 2 MISA sports. Reports and results for MISA can be found further in the newsletter with some outstanding efforts from our MVP students. A big milestone in the MISA competition was the introduction of the MISA Girls Rugby League competition. This is a wonderful opportunity for students at Mount Carmel to play in a modified version of the game and hopefully encourage participation of girls in grass roots Rugby League. As always students are encouraged to look out for opportunities such as this on compass and in their emails weekly. If anyone across our college is excelling in their representative sports, please get in touch so we can recognise the achievements of our talented students.
Marist Basketball Champions
In light of the success of our Australian Boys Marist Basketball Champions the team wanted to thank Mr Harpley and Mr Withnall for dedication to the team. Without the hard work and dedication of our coaches this team would not have been able to travel to Adelaide and create history. Their unwavering commitment to the team has helped us achieve great success, not just on the court, but also off it. Mr Harpley and Mr Withnall’s expertise and experience in basketball were instrumental in training our players, strategising for games, and ensuring that the team was always motivated and ready to perform. They spent countless hours working with the team to improve their skills and build their confidence, and help fundraise for their trip down to the South Australian capital. We thank them for their unwavering support with one of the biggest sports achievements at Mount Carmel.

Short Report |
Softball 10-12 Boys Mr Withnall |
VS MAS 15-3 Loss |
Dominik Raffoul |
Despite only filling the team the morning of, and the limited experience the boys had in the sport, there was an incredible amount of effort and resilience amongst the group. All the boys displayed excellent sportsmanship in the face of a pretty big defeat and have walked away better for it. Dominik Raffoul showed dominance in the outfield and with an unorthodox batting technique managed to score a homerun! Well done to all the boys! |
Basketball 7-9 Boys Mr Rodoreda |
VS MAS 27-37 Loss |
Aneek Gamildien |
The first game played together as a team is always a tough one, as players try to get a feel for each other. The boys played a strong offence, pushing hard up the court and providing some good ball movement, though as a team we need to work on an equally rigorous defence. However, every player displayed skills that can be developed as the season progresses, and I was most impressed by the team spirit displayed by the team and assistant coaches who cheered and encouraged the boys on the court until the very end. |
Basketball 7-9 Girls Ms Turnbull |
VS STP 40-24 Win |
Evangeline De Guzman |
The Junior girls swept to victory over the talented and strong St Pat's team. Right from the tip-off, our girls chased down every ball. As a result of our efforts, we gained several turnovers and steals. All players played their part, with Eva being the match's top point scorer and player of the match. Sophie was a positive and confident leader, while Gabriella was the queen of the rebounds. Our guards, Isabella, Chelsea, Lovina, Veronique, Ysabella, and Beth, were aggressive on the ball and stopped any chance the opposition had of getting a fast break. Our youngest player Carla came on the court enthusiastically and was an asset to the team. I am very proud of these girls because of their teamwork and sportsmanship. Thanks to Sienna who scored for us on the day. |
Indoor Cricket 10-12 Girls Mr O’Connell |
VS STP 65-61 Win |
Jessica McMillan |
The girls had a solid first game for the season electing to field first. Restricting Saint Pat’s to 61 runs. Mount Carmel were consistent in their batting performance getting solid runs on the board and finishing with a winning score of 65. Well done to the girls for a great first game. |
Netball 11-12 Girls Mrs Armour |
38-13 Win |
Poinsettia Penn |
After a tight first quarter, the girls quickly found their momentum on the court and dominated the score sheet. Janita and Liesl controlled the game in the goal circle and our defence consistently turned the game on its head. Poinsettia Penn gave a high five at the end of the game and let me know that this was her first game in three years, who would have known!? Excited to see you back on the court! Well done girls. |
Hockey 7-9 Boys Mr Rees |
VS WAC 0-1 Loss |
Isaiah Nakasenh |
A mixed start to the season with the boys being largely inexperienced. The team managed to hold out only letting WAC score one goal and were unlucky not to get a goal themselves. Hopefully the exposure of this week is something to build on for round 2. |
Rugby League 10-12 Boys Mr Kawa & Mr Harpley |
VS THAC Win 32-6 |
Mateo Andrews |
Despite missing players in key positions the boys managed to take away a solid victory this afternoon. After being tied up with a converted try a piece at half time, the boys took their play to the next level with quick try’s from John, Matt, Zeph and George. Towards the end of the match the boys started to put great passage of plays together which ultimately secured their victory. Great team effort. |
Rugby League U16 Girls Mrs Abra & Miss Heath |
VS STP Loss 40 - 8 |
Lauren Ahovelo |
Our first game of the season helped us to shake off the cobwebs from the old jersey’s and get a taste of what the season has installed for us. Some great technique in tackling was on show by Mia, Lauren and Erica. Improvement with our fitness and plays will prepare us for our next game so we can take on JT with confidence. Well done girls. You are the first NRL girls team to play for MCCC in MISA. This is history in the making! |
Frisbee 7-9 Mixed Mr Martin |
VS THAC Win 11-7 |
Joshua Mansour |
A great start to the season with a win against Thomas Hassel. With a mix of experienced and new players, the team gelled really well and modified their plays to work with the slightly windy conditions. Great defence by Baxter, Chelsea and Rishabh. Josh and Chelsea bought calmness in attack to help control the quick turnovers. Well done. |
Soccer 11-12 Boys Mr Berkeley |
VS THAC Win 1-0 |
Dylan Pullicino |
Despite a rocky and slow start to the match with time against us to warm-up, the boys slowly dragged themselves into the game. After 5 mins, passes slowly started to link up and MCCC were beginning to take control in the midfield. MCCC strikers were having lots of opportunities and getting into great positions in and around the box with countless shots and near misses. MCCC finally broke the deadlock with a brace from Will Radman after a forced substitution for Abdul Khan. THAC were shocked and attempted to claw their way back into the match, however the defensive line of MCCC were solid at stopping whatever came their way. |
Soccer 10-12 Girls Miss Nimac |
VS THAC Loss 2-1 |
Alissiah Marmont |
The girls demonstrated solid team work and determination despite being two players down and with limited time to warm up. MCCC highlighted their skills in the middle of the park and defence. They had several chances with solid attacking play, multiple crosses into the box and countless chances. They were unlucky however, and should be very proud of their solid performance showing a very competitive display despite being short of players. Congratulations to Alissiah Marmont, our MVP for this week! |
