College Sport
Week 7 was a reprieve in Diocesan Championship events with only girls Southern Country Rugby league trials being held in Canberra. We were lucky enough to have Leisl Hopoate selected to represent the Southern Country Rugby league team later this year. We also had a very successful round 4 of MISA this week with 5 of our teams getting important wins in their respective competitions. This is setting up an exciting finish with our teams in the mix to position themselves in finals spots to gain important points for the MISA championship trophy.
Upcoming Events
24 March: Marist Basketball Competition
5 April: Diocesan Football Championships
12 April: College Cross Country Carnival
Marist Basketball
The Marist basketball team is primed and ready for action as they gear up for the upcoming 32nd Annual Marist Basketball Carnival, set to be held on the Gold Coast. With rigorous training sessions twice a week and regular participation in the MISA basketball competition every Tuesday, the team has been honing their skills diligently. In a thrilling encounter last Thursday, the boys had the chance to square off against last year's champions in a friendly match after school. Despite facing a formidable team of 19-year-olds, they exhibited commendable performance and determination. Comprising students from years 9, 10, and 11, this diverse squad faces a significant challenge as they aim to defend their title following last year's success. A heartfelt appreciation goes out to Mr. Harpley for his exceptional leadership, dedication, and efforts in coaching, mentoring, and training the team over the past three months. With high hopes and unwavering support, we extend our best wishes to the team as they strive to secure back-to-back victories. Go Mount Carmel!

VS SBCC Win 64-47 |
Darby Scales |
The start of the game saw us go behind early, SBCC were hitting from deep and we needed to go to a Man-to-Man defence to get the upper hand and get back to 25-25 at the half. Going into the second half we continued to put the pressure on defensively. This allowed us to grow a lead and we were able to take the win 64-47. MVP in what was a great team effort was Darby Scales with 6 points, 7 rebounds (5 Offensive boards) a steal and a block. |

VS STP Win 48-26 |
Evangaline De Guzman |
An amazing effort for my 6 girls today especially when St Pats had a full bench. The girls stepped up today due to the majority of my seniors studying or doing exams. Our defence was amazing and it was only our exhaustion that let St Pat’s score. Eva was our MVP, scoring most of our points and she was supported by Maria and Sophia who let the big passes fly and finish off the play. A great game by all the girls today who gave it 100% and more!. |

John Therry is among the favourites to win the competition so this was an important win to help secure a finals spot in a couple of weeks. Well done boys. |
