Term 2 has kicked off with a flurry of diocesan events, setting the stage for an action-packed start. Despite the rain's persistent attempts to disrupt our schedule, we have managed to press on with some events, such as the Girls Open Diocesan Football Championships and MISA trials held on Tuesday. Looking ahead, we have an exciting lineup of events, including Wollongong Diocesan competitions, Bill Turner Cup and Trophy matches, and the commencement of MISA round one in week 2. Stay tuned for updates, particularly regarding weather-related changes, which will be communicated via email and compass.

Cross Country Carnival Recap

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all students who participated in the exhilarating Cross Country Carnival on April 12. Your dedication and sportsmanship made the event a resounding success! Congratulations to Howard House for their outstanding performance and teamwork, leading them to victory. Whether students  ran, cheered, or volunteered, students' contribution was invaluable in creating a memorable day. Thank you to the staff and student volunteers for their hard work in making the carnival possible. Let's carry forward the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie in all our future endeavours. A tally of the results can be found below:

Girls Opens Football Champions

The Mount Carmel Opens Girls Football team travelled to Wollongong to compete in the Diocesan Carnival. The team played extremely well, battling through a number of games and injuries. The girls displayed great teamwork and discipline coming 2nd in Pool B. From here the girls played the Semi Final against Corpus Christi and unfortunately lost a very close game 3-2. The girls then played in the Play Off game for 3rd and 4th and unfortunately were again beaten by Holy Spirit. Congratulations on coming 4th in the Diocesan Carnival, the girls will now represent our school in a knockout competition later in the term.
