House Assemblies
The creation of smaller communities within the larger Mount Carmel Catholic community allows each student to belong to something in which they can find meaning. Houses can strengthen friendships and allow connections and faith to be developed further.
Today saw the celebration of Howard Day. Howard House is named after Brother Charles Howard, a dedicated Marist Brother, School Principal and Superior General of the Marist Brothers. Howard House strongly promotes the qualities of courage and passion in its students in honour of the legacy left by its patron.
Howard students invited all members of the College to celebrate and raise money for Marist Asia-Pacific Solidarity through the sale of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and a volleyball game between the Howard All stars and the Marist Basketball Champions.
This morning, all House groups prepared for the upcoming Athletics Carnival. A significant event in the College Sports calendar and another opportunity for every student to get involved and to earn points for their House. All points earned at the carnival will go towards the annual House Cup Competition.
Thank you to all members of our respective Houses and the House Captains and Vice Captains for the creation, organisation and to staff for their supervision of these activities today.
Sports Carnival Uniform
A reminder to all students the requirement of full sports uniform to be worn to and from Campbelltown Sports ground next Friday 19 May. Only Year 12 students are allowed to dress up for the carnival. This is a Year 12 privilege. Students may wear a coloured accessory to represent their House once they arrive at the sports ground and return back to full College sports uniform prior to leaving the venue.
