Around the Grounds
With the weather finally clearing, MISA sport is back in action, and many of our teams are putting in strong performances as they push for a spot in the finals. It’s been great to see our students back on the field, court, and pitch after recent disruptions.
Looking ahead, our Years 7-10 students will compete in the Diocesan Soccer Championships, an exciting opportunity to test their skills against schools across the region. Meanwhile, our Marist Basketball team is preparing for a big challenge as they head to Melbourne for the National Marist Basketball Championships, where they will compete against schools from across Australia. The team had a valuable warm-up match against competition favourites St Gregory’s College and fought hard in preparation for the tournament.
We are also excited for our College Cross Country Carnival, a fun-filled day that encourages participation, fitness, and school spirit. Parents, please note: the school day will finish at 2:30 PM, with staff supervision available until normal afternoon buses. Year 12 students will finish earlier at 2:00 PM.
We look forward to seeing our students showcase their skills and enthusiasm in the upcoming events!

The starting six came on in the second set and played extremely well taking out the final two sets for the win. Congratulations to Austin Sompoteprutikul who had some big plays and had some sensational serving in some big moments. |

Recruiting new Year 12 students this week has been the “missing link” we have been waiting for. Today the girls had energy, positivity, support and passion. The girls have the talent and skills but today it showed just how well one can perform when belief is present. Eva was our MVP and our highest point scorer. Sophia B played an amazing game as did Carla, Chelsea and Cordelia. Congratulations girls. What a great game! |

Win 2-1 | Jacob Baena |
The matchup against Thomas Hassell was extremely hard fought. A significantly improved opposition came with a renewed vigour and passion to win. The first set went to MCCC with a close result, however THAC took out the second set convincingly. MCCC rallied and played their best set all season with some solid points from Jarrod Berry and Jacob Baena. Well done to the boys on another great win. Well done! |

Loss 2-0 | Hannadonai (Hanna) Sembrani |
The students started strong in their Round 5 match against Thomas Hassall, but a few minor errors saw them drop a close first set. The opposition carried their momentum into the second set, taking an early lead before our girls fought back with skill and determination. Despite their efforts, Thomas Hassall held on to win the set and ultimately the match. It was a tough loss, but the team showed great resilience throughout. This week’s MVP was Hanna Sembrani for her outstanding determination and crucial saves to keep the team in the match. A great overall effort and sportsmanship from the girls, well done! |

Indoor Cricket Years 7-9 Girls HEAS |
Win 63-30 | Eva Alvarado | The girls dominated against St Pat’s this week. To achieve a win against one of the strongest competitors in the comp is a credit to the team's effort and performance today. We started off with great catches from Samantha, Rosemary and Karissa alongside visible improvements in the team’s reaction time and accuracy. There were also many improvements this week in the team’s speed and over arm technique when bowling. Player of the match goes to Eva as she showcased her astounding skills in being the team’s wicket-keeper with three instances of stumping out many of St Pat’s stronger players with quick thinking. Great job girls on your strong win over St Pat’s and keep this up for next week. |

Basketball Years 10-12 Boys KAWA |
Loss 42-24 | Lee Ombina | The boys were challenged this week with a very skilled side in MAC. The game started even with both teams making baskets from all areas of the court. MAC was however too good from the 3-point line and made an abundance of three’s to make the match out of reach for the boys. A good game to spectate and congratulations to our opponents. Onto next week. |

Basketball Years 10-12 Girls ABRN |
Win 40-23 |
Eva De Guzman Cordeilia Jeffrey |
The girls came away with a great win today. They worked really hard mentally to make this game look like an easy win. The girls had to stay focused because at any chance St Pat’s wanted to take the win. Congratulations to Eva, our top point scorer and Cordelia for her defensive game. This fight has advanced us to the semi finals where we will take on JT for a tough game ahead. The girls are ready and will give it everything they have for next week's game. Let’s go Mount Carmel! |

Oztag Years 10-12 Boys CAML |
Win 6-5 |
Preston Gallant Ashton McMillan |
In much milder conditions today, the boys thoroughly enjoyed a return to the OzTag arena, securing their 3rd win from 3 starts for the 2025 season. In a much closer game this week than previous, the boys dug deep and rallied in both attack and defense. The boys fully embraced our plan of attack, digging deep into the line and then shifting the ball with speed and accuracy from sideline to sideline, exposing poor defensive principles from John Therry. Preston Gallant, Jack Ashcroft and Kayde Hughes were standouts in attack, while Ashton McMillan proved to be exceptional in defense. Play of the day goes to Paul Mikaele for his “David Warner” like pickup and flick pass in one motion that lead to a runaway try. If OzTag doesn’t work out, Paul could certainly feature in the field for the College Cricket Team. |

Oztag Years 10-12 Girls PONT |
Win 7-2 |
Lara Underwood |
It was great to be back out on the field today after a few weeks off due to weather. The girls went out there with intent and a plan to run the ball, play eyes up footy and get in front of their opposition in defence. The game plan paid off with our girls scoring 7 skilful tries gaining them the victory over their John Therry opponents. There were some excellent diving tags made throughout the game and some brilliant support play that led to a well deserved team try. Looking forward to seeing what you can all do on the field next week. |

Softball Years 7-9 Boys HAGJ |
Loss 8-1 |
Jeremy Moroney |
The best game the boys have played to date. After a few weeks off due to wash outs, they boys came back with enthusiasm and smiles despite the disappointing finish. We had loaded bases and were looking to score before a good outfield catch caught us off guard, then solid batting from the opposition ended up piling the runs against us. A great hit by Jeremy - the only safe hit in the second innings, and great pitching by Elias, Lucas, Tadgh and Keeden. |

Hockey Years 7-9 Girls ELID |
Draw |
Faith Chilufya |
After missing a few weeks due to wet weather the girls were excited to get a positive result. Lyla led the team exceptionally well as we dominated possession with about 80% of the ball. Haruka was a defensive wall as our striker who was always applying pressure to the opposition, this resulted in the ball only crossing our half 3 times in the whole game. But a special mention goes to Faith who controlled the midfield and was in charge of set pieces setting up Lyla with a few goal scoring opportunities. Unfortunately, their goalkeeper made a few great saves to keep them in the game. |
