College Sport
Around the Grounds
Back to a busy week of sport with multiple sporting events occurring including our Athletics Carnival, Diocesan Cross Country and MISA getting to the business end of the term. Mount Carmel won 7 MISA games this week with our most successful week of the term. We also have our next rotation of recreational sports occurring next week with students being encouraged to look out for announcements to ensure they are in the right place at the right time on Tuesday afternoon.
Athletics Carnival
Our College Athletics Carnival occurred last and was not only a celebration of physical prowess but also a testament to the strength and unity of our college community. From the dedicated athletes who pushed their limits to achieve personal bests, to the enthusiastic supporters who cheered them on with boundless enthusiasm, every individual played an integral role in creating an unforgettable experience showcasing the very best of our house spirit at Mount Carmel. Unfortunately the carnival ran slightly over time and both the Javelin and 800m events were postponed. These will occur on school grounds during week 6 to determine age champions and the winning house. Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to our exceptional staff members who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the smooth running of the carnival. From the meticulous planning and coordination to the logistical arrangements, their dedication and attention to detail were instrumental in making this event a resounding success.
Diocesan Cross Country
On Monday the 22 May, Mount Carmel sent their best runners to Willandra south of Nowra for the Diocesan Cross Country Carnival. Going into the day with optimism and high spirits our small team of 37 runners tried their best showcasing some of our elite athletes at Mount Carmel. Some outstanding efforts with three of our runners being selected to represent the Diocese Of Wollongong Cross Country by finishing in the top 6 of their age groups. A tremendous effort by the team from each and every student proudly representing Mount Carmel. Good luck to those who will compete next month.

Short Report |
Softball 10-12 Boys Mr Withnall |
Loss 10-3 VS SBCC |
William McManus |
Yet another week of tough competition with SBCC fielding some highly skilled plays, our boys were already mentally beat. It took some excellent base-running from our MVP, William McManus, to show the team that we were still able to compete if we stick to the basics and play smart softball. It was unfortunate that our fielding did not demonstrate the same level of competitiveness, though the team still had fun, that’s for sure! |
Basketball 7-9 Boys Mr Rodoreda |
Win 61-37 VS MAS |
Aneek Gamildien |
The boys came out strong this game, streaking ahead to 15-0 after 9 minutes through a combination of tough defence and great passing. We had worked hard on our defence against larger teams, and the boys put this into practice, keeping MAS from taking an offensive rebound through much of the first half, despite a significant height advantage. Students showed their diversity in attack, hitting three pointers, taking fast breaks and creating opportunities inside the key. I continue to be impressed with the way this team supports each other, and gives their all when on the court. It was certainly a tough week to pick an MVP with all players showing great skill and teamwork. |
Basketball 7-9 Girls Ms Turnbull |
Win 41-21 VS SPT |
Beth Martin |
This game was played at a very fast and exciting pace. While we missed a few shots, our queen of the rebounds, Gabriella supported by Alana, allowed us to score. Chelsea was again her menacing best, terrorising the opposition, while Eva was a great team player keeping the ball in our possession. Veronique, Lovina, Ysabella and Evangeline had strong games. Beth played aggressively and turned the momentum in our favour. She held onto the ball and marked up on the opposition's best player, taking her out of the game. She only scored our only three-pointer. Thanks to our scorers Carla and Emellia and assistant coach Mario. Points scored -Isabella 2, Eva 12, Alana 4, Gabriella 6, Chelsea 12, and Beth 5. |
Indoor Cricket 10-12 Girls Mr O’Connell |
Loss 42-76 VS MASS |
Erin Nelson |
The girls started the game a player short but came out strong with a strong batting performance against a second placed Macarthur Anglican team. The girls achieved a respectable total and needed a strong bowling performance to get the win. Jessica McMillan and Erin Nelson were on fire! Erin got two quick wickets in her over which reduced MAS’s total by 10. The game was within the reach of MCCC. Unfortunately they put in their best two batswomen for the final two overs and came away with the win. Congratulations to the girls who played a solid game. Well done |
Netball 11-12 Girls Mrs Armour |
Win 38-12 VS MAG |
Isabella Ashcroft |
We took no chances heading into our last game before finals. The girls had consistent control of the ball and missed no opportunity for a turnover. This weeks player of the match is Isabella who set the pace for the entire game in Centre position. We are lucky to have you play for us, Bella! |
Hockey 7-9 Boys Mr Rees |
Loss 1-0 VS MAC |
Diesel Wagstaff |
A vastly improved performance this week with MCCC enjoy a few attacking opportunities and holding their own through the middle. The cover defence kept us in the game throughout until some slick passing finally had us beat leading to the only goal of the game. |
Rugby League 10-12 Boys Mr Kawa & Mr Harpley |
Win 14-0 VS THAC |
Tony Pholi-Pearce |
With a shortened game it seemed that the team with the first score would take the match. Fortunately the boys took early points and consolidated with another two try’s to extend the lead. THAC looked dangerous breaking through our defensive line but brilliant work in defence from Tony helped keep them scoreless as he pushed the opponents over the touch line. Great work from all players today. On to next week. |
Rugby League U16 Girls Mrs Abra & Miss Heath |
Loss 24-20 VS SPT |
Jane Mikaele |
I am sure this is not the same team that started in round 1 and questioned if they were in the right division. Well girls you are definitely deserving of Division 1. The improvement each week is outstanding and perfectly timed to hit our form come the finals. Every member on the team is working to their best ability. Whether it is finding the courage to take a tackle, run the ball hard or even pass it and make a play. Congratulations to Jane who shows no fear. She is instrumental in our confidence and with her hat trick today, it is undeniable that she is our MVP for round 4. Miss Heath & myself are very proud of you all. |
Frisbee 7-9 Mixed Mr Martin |
Win 26-0 VS JTCC |
Smriti Pathania |
Beautiful. Poetry in motion. Movement off the disc was spectacular, which was our goal from last week. Big shout out to Makeilah Langi from year 8 who stepped up to play her first game and had an outstanding performance, in defence and attack. Smriti Pathania rounded her game with a great performance in attack, acting as a central anchor for Katerina Krsteski who played excellent in attack as always. Hudson Warren's direct passing was a sight to behold and Baxter Bastoli commanded in defence, not letting a single point through. Hats off to Sebastian Ratajczak who also stepped in for his first game, he is a natural frisbee thrower making some excellent passes. Next week we will look to improve in our transition from attack to defence. We were a bit slow in some stages of the game and the team was able to string a few passes together. Fantastic game nonetheless. |
Soccer 11-12 Boys Mr Berkeley |
Win 1-0 VS JTCC |
Brayden Greer |
The boys showcased their best performance yet in the competition, displaying remarkable chemistry that had been building over the past few weeks, including Dio Football. Their dominance was evident, particularly in possession, as they created numerous opportunities with well-executed through balls into their front third. However, Zane and Ryan's attacking prowess fell slightly short this afternoon, as they missed some chances in the box. Ryan, in particular, could benefit from more practice in on-target shooting, as he missed a crucial opportunity during a pivotal moment in the game. Nevertheless, the team managed to secure a win by scrambling a goal towards the end of the second half. It's worth mentioning Brayden, who made several crucial saves to prevent JTCC from scoring. Next week we take on Magdalene CC with 2 wins out of 3 matches, so with a win next week that puts us in strong contention for the semi-finals. |
Soccer 10-12 Girls Miss Nimac |
Win 4-1 VS SPT |
Jessica Forde |
The girls demonstrated solid team work and skill this week in a dominant display against St Pats. The girls showed class through the middle with several classy passes and through balls and countless shots on goal. Special mention to Alisiah Marmont who scored all four goals. This week's MVP IS Jessica Forde who dominated in the middle, assisted in defence and provided several balls up front. Overall, an excellent match - well done girls! |
