Around the Grounds

Welcome back to sport for 2025. Firstly, thank you to everyone who made sports possible in 2024. The sacrifices from staff and parents to help students participate in school or representative sport is huge. It is a vital part of many of our lives and I would like to continue providing students from Mount Carmel every opportunity possible to succeed this year. These sacrifices helped Mount Carmel be so successful in the Wollongong MISA competition and other representative events. We have a huge calendar coming up this term with sporting events nearly every week. You'll find information below regarding school sport, MISA, DIO and NSWCCC events.  A few of our students have been successful over the break. Lets us please congratulate the following students.

During the holidays, Year 12 students Nathan Williams and Daniel Lill travelled to Busselton, WA, to compete in the 2025 Australian Open Water Championships. Nathan delivered an outstanding performance, earning a bronze medal and finishing third in Australia in the 18-year boys' 10km event with a time of 1:59:08.20. He also placed fourth in the 5km event with a time of 58:21.20. His impressive results place him among the top four 18/19-year-old boys in the country and qualify him for the 2025 National Flippers Open Water Squad, where he will attend a training camp in March on the Gold Coast. Daniel also performed well, competing in the 5km 14 & Over Open Water Multi-Class event and finishing fourth with a time of 1:13:38.10. Both boys had a fantastic week representing Campbelltown Swim Club.
