College Sport
Around the Grounds
Sport seems to never slow down. Mount Carmel has continued its strong year in Diocesan and MISA sport this year. Next Tuesday Mount Carmel have 5 teams who have managed to make it to their MISA finals including Senior Boys Soccer and Rugby league, Senior Girls netball, Junior Girls basketball and our Junior Mixed Frisbee teams. Congratulations and good luck to all students and staff involved next week and hopefully we collect some more silverware.
Athletics Carnival Update
The result of our winning house was announced during assembly in week 7. Congratulations to Howard who are the 2023 Athletics Carnival winners. The difference between 1st and 2nd place was directly related to participation points on the day and attendance. Students are always encouraged to get involved in our sporting carnivals as it is a wonderful showcase of the sporting and community culture that exists within our College.
Also, a big congratulations to our Age champions. These athletes showed great endurance and skill throughout the carnival and gained their house valuable points in the overall house standings. These athletes will be recognised on stage at our annual sports assembly later in the year. A list of our Diocesan Athletics Term will be published on Monday. Congratulations to all students who qualified for this event.

Short Report |
Softball 10-12 Boys Mr Withnall |
Loss 10-4 VS MAG |
Jan Lardizabal |
The boys went into today knowing this was their last opportunity to give it a fair crack and have fun as a team, and boy did they band together as a group. One of the best games they have played all season with a dominant batting performance only to be outdone by some excellent fielding from Magdalene. Despite not winning this season there was an atmosphere of teamwork amongst the group who were willing to give anything a crack. There's always next year, hopefully the boys in Years 10 and 11 come back next year and give it another shot! |
Basketball 7-9 Boys Mr Rodoreda |
Loss 37-35 VS JTCC Grand Finalists |
Brodie Cutajar & Chukie Okonkwo |
It was another tough game against a team that was physically much larger than ours. This took a real toll in the first half, and we went into the break 11 points down. To their credit, the boys dug deep and our backs put in a mammoth effort in the second half to keep the opposition from gaining too many rebounds. At the same time, our forwards did a great job of causing turnovers and taking fast breaks. The boys cut down JTCCs lead to only 2 points at the end of the game with some great pressure play. Well done on a hard game and a close loss. |
Basketball 7-9 Girls Ms Turnbull |
Loss 35-20 VS JTCC Semi Finalists |
Isabella Nakasenh |
The MCCC girls basketball team demonstrated good skill with solid end to end play. Despite dominating, the team never let up and fought hard throughout the match displaying excellent teamwork and sportsmanship. They are to be commended on their efforts in qualifying for the grand final next week.. Well done Girls! |
Indoor Cricket 10-12 Girls Mr O’Connell |
Loss 91-30 VS JTCC Semi Final |
Diya Dixon |
Sadly a loss saw our opportunity for silverware out the window. The girls fought hard but were outclassed by a strong JTCC team that had several representative players within their ranks. Well done regardless and we fight for 3rd place next week. |
Netball 11-12 Girls Mrs Armour |
Win 43-13 VS MAG Semi Final Grand Finalists |
Liesl Hopoate |
The girls exhibited confidence in every way in our semi-final match against Magdalene. Our player of the week is Leisl Hopoate who plays in the NSW Premier League. Leisl is a highly skilled player who adapts to the changing pressures of the game seamlessly. Good luck to all of our rep players who are heading off the Maitland this Friday for State Titles. |
Hockey 7-9 Boys Mr Rees |
Loss 3-0 VS MAG |
Isaiah Nakasenh |
In the final round game of the competition the boys were a touch outclassed by their opposition who played a number of high strikers that caught our defence offside. Some excellent individual performances whereby some of those newer to hockey slowed things down and looked to control the ball more and construct attacking raids was a real positive and something we can take into our preparation for the upcoming dio day. |
Rugby League 10-12 Boys Mr Kawa & Mr Harpley |
Win 20-4 VS MAG Semi Final Grand Finalists |
Adam Prassad |
The boys march on in their hopes of beating John Therry. They dominated the game against a strong Magdalene outfit. This puts the boys up against John Therry for the third time this term in hopes of finding an upset result. Regardless the boys have played well all season and have the potential to bring home silverware next week. Well done. |
Rugby League U16 Girls Mrs Abra & Miss Heath |
Win 28-20 VS MAG Seimi Final |
Mia Aiono |
Quietly confident, the girls played their game against Magdalene with great teamwork, good communication, dedication and passion. The girls needed to perform well so we could reach the final to play either JT or St Pat’s. Mia was our MVP for the day. Her energy started in the morning when she realised we were in the semi finals. This carried onto the field with 120% effort. Great work Mia! We now progress to the final where we will need to focus on our defence and complete every tackle. Congratulations on making the final. Let’s give next week everything we have! |
Frisbee 7-9 Mixed Mr Martin |
Win 29-6 VS JTCC Semi Final Grand Finalists |
Hudson Warren |
Scintillating attack from the team. Catch of the season has to go to Isabelle Villena who chased a floating disc right to line. With a big squad there was plenty of rotation but the team seemed to cope quite well. Hudson Warren earns the MVP this week with an all round amazing performance in both defence and attack. By relaxing on the disc, he was able to develop some brilliant connections with Jeremiah, Rydon, Baxter, Josh, and Smriti. We will look to repeat our performance in attack next week against Magdalene in the final. We went down 15-6 in our second round game however we have since added 5 great players to the squad and improved our style dramatically. It should be an interesting game. |
Soccer 10-12 Girls Miss Nimac |
Loss 3-1 VS MAS Semi Final |
Mia Bakulic |
The girls fought hard in a tightly contested semi with a few solid passages of play including several good runs down the line. The team demonstrated wonderful team work and determination throughout the match despite being a player down. Unfortunately, overall they were outclassed in the end going down 3-1. Congratulations to Mia Bakulic, our MVP for this week! |
