College Sport
A big week of MISA sports with the final rounds being played out. Both our Senior Girls basketball team and Senior boys OzTag teams competed in grand finals. Amazingly, our Senior Girls managed to clinch victory for the 3rd year in a row, securing the title of MISA Basketball champions yet again.
Looking ahead to next week, we have our college Cross Country Carnival. This whole school carnival day includes novelty games and our cross country race. Please take note of the important information regarding the earlier dismissal of students on Friday of Week 11.
Important information - Cross Country

Volleyball Years 7-9 Boys NIMM |
3rd Place Playoff VS MAS Win 3-0 |
Jeremy Melendres | In our third place play off match the boys delivered a solid and dominant performance to defeat Macarthur Anglican. The team demonstrated their overall skill and team work in the first set to showcase their digging, setting and spiking skills. They continued their dominance in the second set to comfortably run away with the win. However, the third set saw a determined Macarthur side who came away with several unanswered points but in the end Mount Carmel were too strong and managed to close out the set and therefore match 3-0. The MVP in today’s match was the most consistent showcasing his skill with several excellent hits and solid serving throughout the match. Congratulations and well done to the entire team for their dedication, stellar sportsmanship and commitment this term. |

Volleyball Years 7-9 Girls PONT |
3rd Place Playoff VS JTCC Loss 2-0 |
Chloebeth Santos & Eric Tax | The girls had a tough task ahead of them coming up against an experienced John Therry team. There were some long rallies that showcased the girls' setting and digging skills, as well as their ability to communicate and move together as a team. After an inspirational speech from coach Sienna after the first set, the girls all “pulled their socks up” and fought hard in the second set bringing it back to 24-22. Unfortunately they just couldn’t secure those last few points and John Therry won the match 2 sets to 0. Congratulations to the entire team for their effort and commitment this term and to Sienna and the other students' helpers for dedicating their time to coach, score, umpire and call lines. An all round great team effort that really does showcase the phenomenal ‘team and family spirit’ that is evident here at Mount Carmel. |

5th Place Playoff VS JTCC Win 63-40 |
Samantha Stewart | Such a dominant performance. With being able to bat first, the girls really set the tone for a difficult score to beat. Racking 63 runs on the scoreboard was a testament to the strength of batting on display. This was met with some really strong bowling, keeping JTCC scores to a minimum with fewer than 5 runs each over. Overall, the team has continued to display immense improvement and brilliant teamwork week after week. |

Basketball Years 10-12 Boys HARK |
3rd Place Playoff VS OPAC Win 35-33 |
Isaac Ramos & Adrian Capitly |
In our third place playoff we were able to come away victorious. The team played hard but were not converting on opportunities we would normally take. The boys continued to grind away and began to put some distance between us and the opposition but to their credit they did not go away hitting some big 3 point shots. The boys did not flinch and Adrian Capitly was able to hit the winning shot as time ran out to give us the win 35-33. |

Basketball Years 10-12 Girls ABRN |
Grand Final VS JTCC Win 32-16 |
Jemma Riordan |
The girls came away with a convincing win today. Their defence was incredible and although there were a few fouls along the way, we were composed, competitive and did not give JT a break until the final buzzer. Jemma was our leading point scorer with 16 points, 7 steals and 7 rebounds. The girls were too strong in their defence and JT did not have enough stamina to keep up with the MCCC girls. Congratulations team. I am always blessed to have such amazing athletes to work with. You make coaching so easy! |

Oztag Years 10-12 Boys KING |
Grand Final VS MAG Loss 12-5 |
Brody Taateo & Jerome Taateo |
The senior boys OzTag team faced an unfortunate defeat against a very determined Magdalene Catholic College, with a score of 12 tries to 5. Despite initially leading 2-0, the wet weather proved challenging, resulting in numerous missed tags and conceded tries. Both Brody and Jerome Taateo demonstrated exceptional performances on the field today, showcasing commendable offensive prowess. However, despite their efforts, it wasn't enough to pose a significant challenge to the opposition, who dominated the second half. I would like to extend my gratitude to the team for their dedicated training throughout the term and for reaching the grand final, which is an admirable achievement in itself. Well done, boys! |

Oztag Years 10-12 Girls HEAS |

Taylah Faiai & Liesl Hopoate | In our third place playoff we were able to come away victorious against John Terry. The girls played a fantastic game, their defence was a stand out, with only 1 try conceded. Taylah and Liesl displayed great skill and execution of plays, along with a number of tries each. Congratulations girls on a great competition and third place. |
