College Sport
What a great week of sport Mount Carmel has had over the past seven days! The College held its annual athletics carnival on Monday, which was an enjoyable day filled with house spirit, competition, and personal bests. The carnival is ongoing, with the Javelin event scheduled for week 9 to help determine which house will be crowned Athletics Carnival Champions.
A huge thank you to everyone who was present on the day and helped contribute to a successful event, despite the weather doing its best to cool down a hot day of competition. Special thanks to the staff who all contributed to the carnival by providing coaching, officiating events, encouraging participation, and promoting house spirit. I thank you all for your efforts.
The winning house and age champions will be announced in the coming weeks.
In other sporting events we also had our Marist Netball Team compete at Olympic Park throughout the week

Indoor Cricket Years 10-12 Girls OCOB |
VS OPAC Champions Win 57-43 |
Maria De Lima Goncalves Fernandes Da Mota |
The girls came into today’s matchup keen to finish off the season undefeated and take home the championship trophy. However nothing more than a win against Oran Park Anglican College would secure the season. Captain Jessica McMillan won the toss and decided to bat first. The girls played some great shots and ended with a total of 57 runs. Heading into field the girls would have to put up a gargantuan effort to keep OPAC to under 57 runs. There was some incredible bowling again from Alisha Philip, Rhianna Gascoine and Tamia Taie throughout the innings. Towards the final two overs it looked like OPAC might just reach the total however two fantastic runouts from Maria De Lima Goncalves Fernandes Da Mota saw MCCC take the win and ultimately the championship. Well done to the girls for a phenomenal season. |

Hockey 7-9 Boys ELID

VS BAC Grand Final Loss 1-0 |
Keeden Robinson |
The boys played an excellent game and dominated both possession and field position. Unfortunately, the team couldn't win the championship against a much more experienced Broughton side. Keeden, controlled the midfield and his big hits relieved constant pressure. An amazing effort all season to achieve 2nd place in the division 1 competition. |

Basketball Years 7-9 Girls HOBR

VS STP Finished 4th Loss 24-4 |
Lyla Grech | In a hard-fought contest for 3rd place, the MISA Junior Girls basketball team faced off against St. Patricks, showing unwavering determination throughout. Despite their efforts, they narrowly lost the game. Lyla was honoured as the MVP for her stellar performance in blocking and defending. Despite the setback, the team remains upbeat, eager to return next year with renewed vigour and strength. |

Basketball Years 7-9 Boys RODC |
VS OPAC Finished 3rd Win 44-17 |
Cooper Scott |
We came into the play off down a few players due to illness, but the team's sense of determination to win this game was evident from the start. The boys played hard but fair basketball, putting constant pressure on the opposition and exploiting turnovers to put us in a healthy lead at half time, which we extended further in the second half. As they have done so all season, the team showed great spirit in encouraging each other on and off the court. It was a great win to cap off the effort the team has put into training and games this season. Special thanks to the assistant coaches, particularly Chukie who was present and active in every training session and a great guide to these younger students. |

Frisbee Years 7-9 Mixed MARP |
VS BAC Into the GF Win 13-4 |
Laila Coulson & Hunter Burton |
MCCC needed the win to secure a spot in the final against John Therry next week. Fortunately, the team survived an early onslaught by Broughton and their brilliant long passes, to gain control of the game at half time, leading 8 - 0 at the break. The second half was a chance for the team to try out new formations and plays. Overall these showed some promise, but we got caught out on a couple of occasions, finishing the game 13 - 4. Next week will be a big game for the team with John Therry the clear favourites. If we manage to keep our cool, and get the basics right, we have shown that we are capable of pulling off an upset. |

Softball Years 10-12 Boys KING |
VS MAS Draw 2-2 |
William McManus |
For the third time this season, the boys conceded a run in the final phase of play, resulting in a 2-2 draw against Macarthur Anglican School. William McManus stood out as the best on the field, successfully scoring a run for the team. A special mention must also go to Harry Peeters for filling in the past two games as catcher. This is certainly one of the more challenging positions, considering we have the fastest pitcher in the league, in that of Parker Cameron. Congratulations to all the boys on earning their first points of the season! |

Rugby League U16's ABRN |
VS JTCC Finished 3rd Win 20-0 |
Shante Cashman-Priday & Siaufua Mikaele |
A fantastic game today against JT. Our girls did not hold back. They tackled hard and ran even harder. Fua scored 3 of our tries and made 12 tackles. Shante had a massive game with 9 tackles, 4 hit ups and 1 try. Tina also scored a try and had a great game. Mickey and Monte also deserve a mention. They play hard every week and really set the tone for our girls. Unfortunately, a niggling injury for Monte saw her retire for the second half. The JT Coach cut the game short as he didn’t want his players injured. This was a great compliment to our girls team who always play hard but fair.. I look forward to next year where we will be able to work with the same team and improve our fitness, agility and plays. Congratulations girls. My final shout out goes to our Coach Lauren & Assistant Coach Erica. These girls were amazing. Their knowledge of the game, confidence and organisation are great qualities, for not only sport but in other areas of their life. Thank you so much! |

Football Years 11-12 Boys KAWR |
VS SBCC Loss 5-0 |
Ivan Costa |
The boys started the game off well against a strong outfit in SBCC. Unfortunately we fell away with our shape and structure when 2 goals were conceded in the first half. The second half was a similar story with an early goal being conceded. Congratulations to all the boys involved with no substitutes, they worked hard but our limited interchange cost us a promising match. |
|
Football Years 10-12 Girls HEAS |
VS STP Into the GF Won 6-0 |
Lara Underwood |
Both sides had limited numbers so it was 10 against 10. The girls started strong with some strong link up play in midfield who went onto dominate possession. The girls got an early lead and ran away with the game with some great goals by Lara Underwood. Good luck girls in the grand final next week against Magdalene. |
