College Swimming Carnival

The much-anticipated Mount Carmel Catholic College Annual Swimming Carnival took place on 23 February, 2024, at the picturesque Macquarie Fields Swimming Pools. This year's carnival was a collaborative effort that brought together students and teachers in a day filled with spirited competition and camaraderie.Throughout the day, the competition remained fiercely contested, with Murray and Howard houses emerging as early frontrunners in the overall points tally. Each race was marked by intense competitiveness, keeping spectators engaged and on the edge of their seats. Murray and Howard houses demonstrated exceptional performance, steadily pulling ahead of the other houses as the day progressed. The overall result will be received at our next assembly. A big Congratulations to the following students who were crowned age champions for the carnival.

MISA Wrap Up - Round 1
Sport Result MVP Short Report

Volleyball 

Years 7-9 Boys

NIMM

VS MAS

Win 3-0

Ashton Taeiloa

The year 7-9 Boys volleyball team demonstrated solid teamwork and skill to dominate the match against Macarthur Anglican winning all three sets convincingly. Our MVP this week was Ashton Taeiloa who was solid at the net and delivered several well executed shots. Fantastic effort boys!

Volleyball 

Years 7-9 Girls 

HOBR

VS STP

Loss 3-0

Alicia Lardizabal

In the second round of the MISA competition, our Junior Girls Volleyball Team faced off against St. Patrick's in a highly anticipated matchup. Despite a promising start and a confident display in the first game, our team unfortunately couldn't maintain momentum, ultimately losing all three games played today. Earning MVP for the match was Alicia Lardizabal, whose remarkable saves placed our team at advantageous positions throughout the games. Looking ahead, our team is motivated to improve, and through our training sessions we will be focusing on refining our skills and fostering teamwork.

Indoor Cricket

Years 7-9 Girls 

OCOB

VS MAS

Loss 120-18

Fisiilose Feiloakitohi

The girls came into round 2 with enthusiasm and gusto and were ready to take on Macarthur Anglican College. The girls elected to bat first and scored some solid runs with some good partnerships. Special mention must go to Samantha Stewart who scored some runs for MCCC late in the game.

After posting a total of 18 runs the girls went into bowl. Fisiilose Feiloakitohi bowled exceptionally well and was excellent behind the wicket. Unfortunately we couldn’t keep the MAC total under 18 runs. We are seeing a rise in improvement with the girls and each week will continue to see this as the weeks continue. Well done girls!

Basketball 

Years 10-12

Boys

HARK

VS OPAC

Win 32-11

Chukwuemeka (Chukie) Okonkwo

In the second round of competition, we came up against OPAC in their home court. The boys started the game with some excellent defence complemented by good offence allowing us to take an early lead. The players all worked well together to continue to starve the opposition of points keeping them to 11 for the game. Our offence worked well in patches, all players kept to their roles and strengths and made the most of our opportunities to get the win 32-11. The MVP for this week was Chukwuemeka Okonkwo with 7pts, 7 rebounds and a block.

Basketball

Years 10-12

Girls

ABRN

BYE

Oztag

Years 10-12 Boys

KING

VS MAG

Loss 9-4

Calvin Beltran

A grand final replay against Magdalene Catholic College proved to be quite challenging for the boys, going down 9-4 to the reigning premiers. In what was a very physical encounter, the boys should be commended on their effort in maintaining competitiveness throughout the game. While the outcome may not have been what they had hoped for, the game offered valuable lessons that can help fuel their progress moving forward. If the boys can all commit to training each week there is no doubt, they will improve their skills and work more effectively as a team. The MVP this week was Calvin Beltran, who scored two tries and worked extremely hard in defence.

Oztag 

Years 10-12 Girls 

HEAS

VS MAG

Loss 5-4

Taylah Faiai

In the second round of the MISA Oztag competition the girls displayed great defence throughout the game but unfortunately were unable to come from behind to get the win, losing 5-4 to Magdalene. A great performance displayed by Taylah Faiai who was able to score 2 tries to bring the girls back into the game. Looking forward to next week.

Softball

Years 7-9 Boys

PONT



VS WCCS

Loss 5-0

Tennyson King The weather was much kinder to us this week and the boys were keen to put into practice what they learnt from their first match last week. The batting order was set and despite connecting well with the ball the boys just couldn’t get over home plate. I commend the boys for their willingness to try new positions and roles within the team. Keeden and Dylan both did an excellent job pitching and Jivesh was solid in the catcher role. Special mention to Tennyson King for his phenomenal catch in the field - running off second base and jumping into the air to secure the out. Looking forward to next week.

Debating

Years 9 & 10

BORK

WIN for both

The opening round of MISA Debating for Year 9 and 10 saw some stiff competition but a great success story. Mount Carmel argued against Thomas Hassel with both teams coming out victorious. There were some great points raised by both sides and the efforts of all students need to be acknowledged. Our Year 9 team, Junena S, Evangeline J, Karylle C and Meenakshi A, showcased the importance of teamwork and continuing to support each other throughout the debate. Year 10 showed they are a well-oiled machine with Maria Cassandra T, Patrick A, Michael G and Katiana G using their experience to show how great preparation and out-of-the-box thinking can be successful.
