College Sport
Around the Grounds
Sport continues to bring energy and excitement to our college, with students showcasing their talent, determination, and teamwork across multiple events. It’s been an action-packed week filled with outstanding achievements and thrilling competitions.
We're also looking forward to our College Cross Country Carnival — a fun-filled day that promotes participation, fitness, and school spirit. Parents, please note that 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 can’t wait to see our students showcasing their enthusiasm and talents across all events.
In the coming days, we have several key events on the calendar. On 8 April, our Open Boys will compete in the Diocesan Soccer competition. On 10 April, our Boys team will face St Greg's in the Bill Turner Cup. Then on 11 April, students will participate in the MCCC Cross Country.
At the NSWCCC Swimming Carnival held this week, Nathan Williams, Ava Antala, and Daniel Lill represented our school with pride. Nathan had an outstanding performance, qualifying for All Schools in all his events. He placed first in both the 400m and 100m freestyle, and came second in the 200m freestyle and 200m individual medley. Ava also qualified for All Schools after finishing second in the 200m individual medley. Daniel gave a strong performance throughout the day showing his hard work does pay off.
In the Bill Turner Trophy, our Girls team started strong with a 5–1 win over John Therry Catholic College. Selena was in exceptional form, scoring four goals. Lillian Jackson controlled the midfield with confidence, Lily Reecs was solid in defence, and Cara made several crucial saves in goals to keep the team ahead. It was a great result for our reigning area champions.
Our Marist Basketball team traveled to Melbourne for a challenging tournament. They started with a hard-fought game against Sacred Heart Adelaide, losing by 9 points (43-34). Their second match against Marcellin College Bulleen saw a tough final quarter, resulting in a 70-37 loss. However, they bounced back in Round 3 with a dominant 77-32 victory over Good Council College Innisfail. Day two brought more challenges, with a 54-39 loss to Marist Regional College Burnie and a narrow 64-57 defeat to Trinity College Beenleigh in a thrilling last-minute finish. On day three, the team secured a win against Marist Kogarah but fell to Sion College. Despite mixed results, the team has shown resilience and competitiveness in every game. While they are still searching for that final edge to close out games, they continue to represent Mount Carmel with pride, demonstrating the true spirit of our college.
Well done to all students involved in these events. We are proud of your efforts, your sportsmanship, and the way you represent our school.

A tough loss for our boys against a strong MAS. The game was tied with 10 seconds to go but MAS managed to put away a layup which cost us a spot in the grand final. A solid season. |

Semi Final Loss 25-17 |
Carla Bosco | The girls played well today but just left their run a little too late. In the second half, MCCC was closing the gap but just needed another 5 minutes to make some more 3’s. MVP was Carla, who was always composed and her defence was always on point. Chelsea, Eva and Via also had a good game but unfortunately luck was not on their side. As a result our attempts were unsuccessful. The girls will take on their lessons from today and play with more hunger, energy and focus when we meet THAC in the playoff for 3rd position next week. Let's finish off this season with a win, girls. |

Win 2-0 |
Khloe Whyte | A great win to continue the team's progression throughout the term. The team is now unbeaten since round 2 leading into our final game of the season. They started with enthusiasm and dominated from the start of the game keeping OPAC in their own half for the entire first half. Lyla Greach finally broke the deadlock with 5 minutes to play with a quickly played free hit leaving her one on one with the keeper. As the team defended the lead, Khloe was the vocal leader that ensured everyone was focused on the game. Whilst we defended Haruka added a second goal to finish the game and we were unlucky to not score another goal. |

A tough result for the boys who went down in the final against John Therry. John Therry were the bench mark all season but the boys pushed the boys in each set only losing by a few points. Regardless, second place is still a huge effort. Well done boys! |

Win 2-0 | The Whole Team |
MCCC entered the game determined yet quietly confident, knowing their head-to-head record with Thomas Hassall stood at 1-1 this season. The first set was a fast-paced battle, with both teams showcasing quality skill and trading the lead multiple times. While solid serving was on display from both sides, MCCC’s excellent communication and teamwork allowed them to gain the upper hand and secure the first set. Carrying that momentum into the second set, the team came out strong from the first serve, making it difficult for the opposition to find their rhythm. Though their opponents rallied mid-set to close the gap, they couldn’t overcome MCCC’s stellar serving and gameplay, leading to a well-earned 2-0 victory. This match was a true display of skill and sportsmanship, and the MVP goes to the entire team for their unwavering support, teamwork, and determination — Congratulations girls on an outstanding win and a fantastic season! |

Loss 80-72 |
MVP - the Whole Team After a tough start to the competition, making it to the grand final was a fantastic achievement for the girls. Bowling first, they put in a disciplined performance to restrict MAS to just 80 runs. With determination, they went into bat against MAS, overcoming an early collapse with a strong fightback that left them needing just six runs from the final over. Unfortunately, two late wickets saw MCCC fall just eight runs short, but congratulations to the team on finishing second and making it to the grand final!  |

MVP - Eva De Guzman The girls started strong in our semi final game today however they just couldn’t stop the THAC players from coming away with the win. .We doubled up on key players but luck was not on our side. MCCC held in for the entire game and it looked like we might be in for a chance in the second half. Unfortunately THAC met us head to head and came out on top. Congratulations to Eva De Guzman for receiving MVP on the day and being our highest point scorer. It is always a pleasure to take the Senior BBall team but a special mention goes out to the coach of the season, Maria Da Mota. Maria could not play this season due to a knee injury. Helping with the coaching ensured she could still be a part of the team. Great work girls!  |

Loss 8-0 | Lara Underwood |
The girls had a tough opponent to end the season matching up against an experienced St Patrick’s team. Despite having very few subs, the girls all played hard up until the final whistle blew. There were some good team efforts in attack but the St Patrick’s team were solid in defence making it difficult for our girls to break their line. A solid game from our MVP Lara Underwood who not only worked hard in attack and defence but also communicated well throughout the entire game. A good season girls. |

Draw | Fisiilose Feiloakitohi & the Whole Team |
After a learning curve in the first few weeks the girls pulled together to remain unbeaten since week 2. Although the score was 0-0 against the reigning champions and unbeaten Macarthur Anglican School we were the team dominating in both possession and field territory. Lyla was the most active player on the field and inspired the team with some impactful runs. Our backline was excellent and aggressive to every loose ball with MVP Fisiilose constantly winning possession in the midfield of the pitch. An amazing effort not only today but over the whole season. Well done girls! |
