College Sport
This past week was packed with excitement and competition across various sports events, with standout performances from our students in MISA Round 1, the Bill Turner Trophy, and the Diocesan Athletics Carnival.
Bill Turner Trophy
Our girls' team showed tremendous resilience and skill, taking the lead three times against Rouse Hill Anglican. Unfortunately, they lost in extra time with a final score of 4-3. Despite the heartbreaking result, the girls should be incredibly proud of their efforts over the last two terms, managing to rank in the top 32 teams across NSW, Queensland, Victoria, and ACT. Well done, girls!
MISA Round 1
The first week of MISA presented tough challenges, with several of our teams facing defeats. As we move into week 3, we are determined to improve our results and come back stronger.
NSWCCC Swimming Championships
Our students shone brightly at the NSWCCC Swimming Championships, with Nathan Williams and Ava Antala delivering outstanding performances.
Nathan Williams had an exceptional week at the School Sports Australia Games Swimming Championships:
- 2nd place (Silver Medal) in the 17-19 yrs boys 400 IM.
- 4th place in the 17-19 yrs boys 400m Free.
- 7th place in the 17-19 yrs boys 200m Free.
Ava Antala also competed admirably at the School Sport Australia Swimming Championships on the Gold Coast:
- Reached the finals in both the 50m backstroke and 50m butterfly, placing 8th in both events.

Indoor Cricket Years 10-12 Boys OCOB |
vs JTCC Loss 46-18 |
Cameron Taylor |
The boys started on the back foot only being able to field six players rather then the full eight, however they did not let this demotivate them. The boys went into bat and struggled early getting used to the pace of the game posting a total of 18 runs. JTCC batted well and consistently against some excellent bowling from Cameron Taylor. A tough start to the season but there is plenty more time and room for improvement for future matches. |

AFL Years 10-12 Boys MARP |
vs MAS Loss 52-1 |
Jerome Taateo |
We came up against some tough competition for the first game of the season with most of the boys in our team having little experience with AFL. Our opponents are undefeated in the last two years, many of them playing AFL on the weekends. There were some moments of brilliance with excellent marks taken by the Taateo twins. Constantly giving away free kicks for holding onto the ball, and tackling without the ball that really punished us. Despite being outmatched, the team stayed competitive throughout, with extended passages of play where no points were scored. The team is looking forward to improving next game against Magdalene. |

AFL Years 10-12 Girls ABRN |
vs MAS Loss 19-6 |
Isabella Ashcroft | The girls came away with their first loss of the season, the result of having limited subs. A big shout out to the girls who played and gave everything they had. With new recruits next week and the cobwebs dusted away, we will be back with a vengeance against St Pats, who will be a tough team to play. Congratulations to Mia A for her energy and enthusiasm and scoring our only goal. Another shout out goes to Gemma O for her efforts in the midfield. Our MVP for the game was Isabella A who was relentless in the mids. Great work ladies! |
|
Rugby League U15's Boys HARK |
VS JTCC Loss |
Bhlane Doyle | The boys came out strong but couldn't hold their line against a strong side. John Therrry managed to keep the ball and complete their sets giving Mount Carmel hardly any possession making it difficult to put pressure on their opponent. We look to improve in our defensive efforts against a winnable game against Magdalene. |
|
Netball Years 7-8 Girls PONT |
vs WAC Loss |
Georgia Meteikingi | A hard start to the season with a loss against a strong outfit. The girls tried hard until the end but the opposition was just too strong and clinical in the final third. We move on to round 2. |
|
Netball Years 9-10 Girls BELT |
vs WAC Loss 30-4 |
Kyla Greenwood | In our first game together, our team faced many challenges and unfortunately lost 30-4. Despite the tough outcome and an injury to one of our players, we showed great teamwork and determination. Even with the loss, one standout performance was from Kyla Greenwood, who demonstrated remarkable resilience and skill on the court, defending every ball and showing her unwavering commitment. The girls played with great effort and sportsmanship, learning valuable lessons that will help us improve. We’ll use this experience to improve and come back stronger in our next game. |
|
Softball Years 10-12 Girls HOBR
|
VS WCCS Win 7-3 |
Jaimee Miles | The MISA Senior Girls Softball team started their season with great enthusiasm for their first game. They displayed solid softball skills and effective communication throughout. Jaimee Miles was named MVP after hitting a home run that brought in two more runs. The team’s morale is high as they look forward to their next game. |
|
Football Years 7-9 Girls HEAS |
VS MAS Win 1-0 |
Ruby Grant | The girls had a great first game, displaying solid passing patterns and defensive efforts to hold off their opposition and win the game 1-0. Looking forward to the game next week. |
|
Football Years 9-10 Boys BERB |
vs BAC |
Brayden Croke |
Despite the wind playing a large role in the game, for the most part the boys played well being their first round together for the majority. It took a little while for them to get going and settle into the match, but they absolutely dominated in the second half with plenty of opportunities inside the penalty area, we were just a bit unlucky not to convert our chances and come away with the win. The boys need to take the positives from the second half and build on this confidence next week. I have no doubts in the ability of this team that we can get the job done next week. |
