Hello MCCC Community! We've had a couple of big weeks of MISA action that have helped keep Mount Carmel Catholic College in the hunt for the MISA Overall Championship. With multiple strong results, the competition is going down to the wire in a close battle between us and John Therry. We have managed to secure 3 grand final sports in MISA Boys and Girls Volleyball and Mixed Ultimate Frisbee. Unfortunately due to the hot weather on Tuesday we missed out on the chance to qualify for some other grand finals as outdoor sports were cancelled. Find detailed reports from round 5 and semi finals below. On Friday the 13 December Mount Carmel will be hosting its annual sports assembly to recognise the efforts of our excellent athletes throughout the 2024 sporting year. Parents and guardians of major award winners will be invited early next week to help celebrate the achievements.
The 27th Annual CDF Diocesan Sports Awards, held on Friday, 15 November at St Mary Star of the Sea College in Wollongong, was a night of celebration, inspiration, and sporting excellence. Mount Carmel was fortunate to have 7 students nominated for awards for their amazing achievements from Diocesan Sporting pathway events. Award winners include Ava Antala, Parker Cameron, Daniel Lill, Izach Saalea-Morgan, Ethan Littlewood, Nathan Williams and Liesl Hopoate. Pictured receiving their awards are Liesl, Daniel and Ethan. Congratulations to our students on a successful year and we are very proud to have them as Mount Carmel students.

Indoor Cricket Years 7-9 Boys SULLJ |
vs STP Loss 73-51 |
Brendan Dias |
The boys put together a valiant performance this week against the team to beat, Magdalene Catholic College but unfortunately came up short. A game which was quite even on balance, however numerous dropped catches from our boys and lots of quick singles from the Magdalene boys allowed the opposition to make more runs than what they should have. Some big hitting from the MCCC boys was not enough to reach the large total of 73 set by the boys from Magdalene. This was the first loss of the term for the MCCC boys and they were very keen to direct their attention to next week's match and get back to winning ways! |

Volleyball Years 10-12 OCOB |
vs BAC Win 3-0 |
Shaun Vincent Vicente |
The boys were keen for a win today to remain undefeated and take them through to the grand final next week. The first set was won convincingly with some outstanding set pieces and big plays from Carlos Brown and Sebastian Ratajczak. The boys were keen to finish the match with a second set win were a bit shaky at the beginning going down 5-0. The game continued with BAC maintaining their lead. With the score at 20-15 a timeout was called to settle the nerves. The boys bounced back with some satisfying, self assured, sassy and self-disciplined serving from the one and only Shaun Vincent Vicente. The boys took the 2nd set 25-23 and ultimately the match. Congratulations to the boys for another solid win. Good luck next week in the grand final. |

Monte Sauvao |
The MCCC girls entered their semi-final match determined to extend their undefeated streak and started strong with excellent serves and teamwork. Broughton Anglican College fought hard but couldn’t match MCCC’s solid display, losing the first set. Monte Sauvao shone in the second set with strong net play, blocking opposition attacks and leading the defense. The team’s communication and skill saw them dominate and close out the match in straight sets, securing a spot in the final. MVP honors went to Monte Sauvao for her standout serving, defense, and all-around performance. Fantastic work girls. Best of luck next week in the final! |

vs STP Loss 6-3 |
Emilia Rennert |
Despite the lack of preparation the girls all went out onto the diamond ready to play. The first innings saw us get three girls home. This was achieved through smart play, big hits and effective strategy. Our pitchers were on fire with both Lyla and Emilia striking out multiple players. An all round team effort that saw the girls in action both in bat and field. Well done. |

AFL Years 7-9 Boys KAWA |
vs JTCC Loss 55-49 |
Brayden Croke |
The boys were determined this week to put in a solid performance against competition frontrunners JT. The boys started the game in blistering pace taking a 18-3 lead after 5 minutes. JT started to find some quick plays and slowly turned the game around before half time. The boys were fighting until the end when the game finished 55-49 by a single goal. Congratulations to all the boys involved as they continue to impress and put pressure on each team they face. |

Charlee Yule | It was a tough match against St Pats, unfortunately losing 16-3. Despite the scoreline the girls displayed resilience and Charlee Yule with standout defensive efforts. Looking forward to our final game next week. |

Ultimate Frisbee Years 10-12 MARP |
vs OPAC Win 20-5 |
Isaac Ramos | It was an excellent performance to finish the regular season. Mount Carmel was very clinical in offence, and stayed tight in defence. With three minutes to go we were up 20-0, so a few lapses in concentration towards the end can be excused. The goal margin secures first place going into the finals, with 105 points for and only 39 points against. Isaac Ramos and Jayden Kurniawan played outstanding for long stretches of the game, hitting their targets and working hard off the disc. Jessica McMillan played excellent as always, doing deep cuts to help out in the offence. Zoe Bruce and Chelsea Herborn had standout performances in defence this week as well. Barukh Semaia also played excellently today, he has really developed as a player and now plays his position perfectly. All round it was an excellent performance from the team, and if we keep this form we will be firm favourites in the final. Next week will most likely be a rematch of this week, with Oran Park finishing in fourth. We will look to improve on our conversion rate before the final. Well done team. |

Christian Berry |
The boys came into today’s matchup keen to get a first set win under their belts before finals next week and that’s exactly what they did. There was some ferociously, fresh, fast paced performances from both sides but MCCC provided perfectly, positive, passionate and powerful pieces of perfection to take the win. Congratulations to the boys for finishing undefeated minor premiers in the regular season. Good luck next week in the semi finals!! |

Volleyball Years 10-12 Girls NIMM

vs MAS Win 2-1 |
Evangeline De Guzman | In today’s clash with Macarthur Anglican, the girls took on a well-organised and determined team. They came out firing in the first set, stringing together impressive plays to take an early lead. The second set saw a few communication hiccups and missed chances, allowing the opposition to level the match. But the girls showed grit and composure in the final set, with Eva De Guzman’s outstanding serving and the team’s sharp plays sealing a well-earned victory. Eva’s consistency, excellent serving and teamwork made her this week’s MVP—great work girls, and best of luck in the semis! |
