We have hit the ground running for sport in 2025 with a huge amount of sport occurring across the College in the first half of term 1. MISA is in full swing and we have diocesan championship events occurring near weekly now. Looking ahead, Term 1 is shaping up to be action-packed, with multiple events taking place over the next four weeks. Students are continued to keep an eye on compass to ensure they are up to date with all sporting opportunities occurring across the College.
A big thank you to everyone involved in these events and our upcoming competitions!

On Friday, February 28, the Girls Touch Football team traveled to Wollongong for the annual Diocesan Championship, competing with resilience and determination in scorching conditions. Despite tough opponents, the team displayed outstanding teamwork, adapting to challenges and pushing forward with unwavering effort. Special congratulations to our try scorers—Disney Teiotu, Taalia Abrahams, and Lillian Meredith—as well as Charlee Yule for a spectacular line break try. MVP honors went to Disney (15s) and Lauren (Opens) for their exceptional performances.
Well done to all the girls for their hard work, sportsmanship, and commitment—you made the school proud!
All Schools Triathlon
All Schools Intermediate Girls
Zoe Bruce
Zoe represented Mount Carmel in the Intermediate Girls division of the All Schools Triathlon on Wednesday 26 February. She delivered a strong performance across the swim, bike, and run, narrowly missing out on Nationals with a 9th-place finish. A fantastic effort—we look forward to seeing Zoe compete again next year and hopefully qualify for Nationals to race against Australia’s best!
All Schools Senior Boys Relay
Nathan Williams got the team off to an incredible start, making light work of the 400m swim and exiting the water comfortably in first place. After a quick sprint to the transition area, Zoe Bruce took over as our cyclist, pushing hard and holding her own against a competitive field of talented 16- to 18-year-old males. Following the 10km cycle, Ethan Littlewood powered through the 3km run, making it look effortless. These outstanding athletes finished 3rd in CCC and should be extremely proud of their efforts and achievement.

Volleyball Years 7-9 Boys OCOB |
Win 2-0 | Jarrod Berry |
The boys came into today’s match up riding on the coat tails of last week’s dominant win in the season opener. Being an away game the team was out of their comfort zone at Thomas Hassell Anglican College. The boys started well with a dominant display winning the first set comfortably with some big plays from Jarrod Berry. The momentum was taken into the second set and another comfortable win for the boys. Congratulations on an excellent win. |

Volleyball Years 7-9 Girls NIMM |
Win 2-0 |
Sapana Ghale |
The girls went into round 2 confident after a solid start last week, they started strong and were able to win several excellent points to take the first set. Thomas Hassall rallied in the second set which saw several long rallies and end to end play. Both teams were fantastic in their teamwork, shots and overall game play which ensured an exciting and close match. The opposition were ahead and close to snatching the second set however, the girls managed to take a few close points to take the second set and ultimately the match. This week’s MVP goes to Sapana Ghale who demonstrated solid defensive work, movement on court and made several excellent shots throughout the match. A fantastic effort by all – well done girls! |

Samantha Stewart |
Unfortunately, we lost our first game of the MISA cricket season, but there were some great moments throughout the match. While there are improvements to be made in our bowling, Samantha Stewart played some fantastic shots in the second innings, bringing us close to BAC’s score, looking forward to next week and hopefully securing a win. |

Basketball Years 10-12 Boys KAWA |
Win 81-44 |
Chukie Okonkwo |
The boys stuck to their guns with a dominating win against St Benedict’s. The first half was quite evenly contested between both teams however the boys took advantage of their fast breaks and some individual brilliance from Chukie Okonkwo and Isaac Ramos to create an entertaining spectacle. The second half was dominated by our boys as they were clinical with each offensive play. Congratulations to all involved. |

Basketball Years 10-12 Girls ABRN |
Loss 17-10 |
Chelsea Baltazar |
It was a tough game against St Benedict’s today. The girls were in the game in the first half however St Benedicts kept the pressure on and forced their way in with intercepts and great passes to take the win. Our girls never give up and although they weren’t playing with a clear head today they always play with their heart. Congratulations to our MVP Chelsea Baltazar. With a bye next week, we will work on our rebounds, lay ups, teamwork and communication. Let’s go MCCC! |

Oztag Years 10-12 Boys CAML |
Win 13-2 |
Nicholas Lalic |
Round 2 saw the Opens Boys continue their incredibly dominant start to the 2025 OzTag Season, running out 13 - 2 winners over Thomas Hassalll Anglican College. In cooler conditions compared to Round 1, the boys started incredibly fast once again, demonstrating excellent ball movement in attack, and very sound defensive principles, spending a good portion of the first half without the ball. A notable mention must go to Nicholas Lalic making his season debut an emphatic one, crossing for 6 tries, showing a fantastic set of wheels on the wing. Additionally, Preston Galant managed to get off the duck egg. The boys eagerly look forward to Round 3 against Magdalene Catholic College. |

Softball Years 7-9 Boys HAGJ |
Loss 9-0 |
Cooper Smith |
A disappointing result, but promising improvements to be found, and another great display of sportsmanship and camaraderie. After a strong first dig, getting John Terry out with only two home, MCCC faced a strong infield, but no batters were out without making a good run. The second innings showed some excellent outfield catches to MVP Cooper Smith, but the batters at John Terry managed to pile on the runs when they found some holes. Nevertheless MCCC once again demonstrated their grit with encouragement and smiles until the end, and a shout out to John Terry who took to the field opening a third innings just to let us get some batting practice in knowing they’d need to leave before getting to bat themselves. |
|
Hockey Years 7-9 Girls ELID |
Loss 4-1 |
Lyla Greach |
After a quick start from Broughton to score we settled down and followed Lyla’s example to equalise. A back and forth game resulted in Haruka forcing a great save from the opposition goalkeeper. Ultimately, the BAC experience came through with two late goals to win the game. Many positives were taken from the game and the girls are in great spirits leading into the next few games. |

Aden De Malle |
The boys came into today's matchup after some solid wins in the first two rounds. John Therry would be the toughest opponent in the competition. The first set was close but JT took it in the end and the second set saw a similar result. Commiserations to the boys who played well and should be congratulated on a solid performance. Well done to Aden who played a part in some big plays. |

Volleyball Years 7-9 Girls NIMM |
Win 3-0 |
Juliana Musumeci |
The girls came into the match against traditional rivals JT undefeated and full of confidence. They demonstrated a dominant display in all three sets with excellent teamwork, communication and several solid pieces of play that made it difficult for their opposition. The team showed an improvement in their serving overall with two standouts Juliana and Manizort who delivered several unanswered points and ensured that JT fell behind early in each set. Juliana is our MVP for this work for her stellar serving, excellent teamwork, and match play throughout the game. The entire team is to be commended on their sportsmanship and efforts on a well deserved 3-0 victory! Great work girls! |

Despite the narrow loss, the team will continue building on these strengths in upcoming matches. Looking forward to next week. |
