College Sport
Around the Grounds
Welcome back to sport for Term 3! We have an exciting term with many of our best athletes going on to represent the college either the Wollongong Diocesan or in NSWCCC events. This is a great reflection of the offered pathways within our Diocesan giving our students the opportunity to move into representative teams. In week 5 our College athletics team will meet at Campbelltown Stadium to compete in the 2025 Diocesan Athletics Carnival Championship. This again is a great opportunity for students to excel and move onto an even bigger stage. Congratulations and good luck to all our students who are competing on the day.
Across the previous two terms, our school has had the privilege of participating in various prestigious events, including the Macarthur Independent Schools Association (MISA).While MCCC isn't winning in any category we are the overall leaders in the MISA championship. With Term 3 MISA sports beginning Tuesday week 2 we hope our teams can continue their success in the following term 3 MISA sports:

Bill Turner Cup
At the end of Term 1 the boys’ Bill Turner Cup team competed against St Gregory’s College for Round 1 of the competition. The team started slow but quickly found cohesion, utilising a terrific passing game to create multiple opportunities in front of goal. The team fought well against a late fight back from St Gregs to win 3-2.
In Round 2, the boys took on Clancy Catholic College and got off the mark quickly with two quick goals to take control of the game from the very start. With creativity on the wings and a solid defence in the centre of the park led by Shou Ye, the boys completed a dominant win 5-1. Round 3, we were missing a couple of our more senior players and looked to some of the younger boys to step up for the team. Picnic Point started strong with a very physical game plan but the boys composed themselves and started to move the ball around to turn the game back to our style of play. Some terrific attacking work by Isaiah, Sean, Izral and Deric put us into the next round with a 4-0 win. Round 4 was also the semi-final for the area group and was against a very strong Good Samaritan Catholic College side. Unfortunately, Good Samaritan proved to be the better side on the day. The boys fought hard and put in an amazing effort against some relentless pressure and skillful opponents. The result of a 5-1 loss was not a true reflection of the tight battle it was.
Over the course of the competition, the boys showed amazing heart, great skill and terrific teamwork. They made themselves and the school proud. Congratulations on a great competition.
All Schools Cross Country
Outstanding Effort from Our Senior Runners
The 2025 NSW All Schools Cross Country Championships were held recently, drawing the best young distance runners from across the state. The prestigious event saw fierce competition across multiple age divisions, with individual and team results recorded for boys and girls aged 12 through 18. A multi-class division also provided an inclusive platform for students with disabilities to showcase their athletic talents.
Representing our school in the highly competitive 17 Years Boys and Girls divisions were Zoe Bruce and Ethan Littlewood. Both athletes put in outstanding performances against a deep field of the state’s best runners. Zoe Bruce crossed the line in 33rd place in the 17 Years Girls category — a strong result in a fast-paced and demanding race. Ethan Littlewood also impressed, finishing 25th in the 17 Years Boys event. His placement reflects the effort, discipline, and stamina required to compete at this level.
Congratulations to Zoe and Ethan for their commitment and determination in representing our school with pride on the state stage. We are incredibly proud of their achievements.
Joshua Manson represents Australia in Flag Football
We are incredibly proud to share that one of our own, Josh, recently had the amazing honour of representing Australia in Flag Football at the International Summer Series Cup held in Los Angeles. This marked a historic moment, as it was Australia’s debut appearance in the tournament.
Josh played as a Defensive Back (DB), a key position focused on disrupting the opposition’s offensive strategy, breaking their rhythm, and forcing errors. Competing in the A Division, Australia went head-to-head with elite teams from around the world, including Canada, USA, Korea, and New Zealand.
In their first appearance at this level, the Australian team finished a commendable 6th overall – a fantastic achievement that sets the foundation for future international success.
Josh’s performance was not only a personal highlight but also a proud milestone for Australian Flag Football. He is now preparing for his next challenge – the APAC Tournament to be held in Cronulla this September.
Selena Mifsud - NSWCCC Team
A huge congratulations to Selena, who has been selected to represent the NSWCCC team at the U18s All Schools Championships in Lake Macquarie — an incredible achievement, especially as she is just 13 years old, competing in age groups well above her own.
This selection follows her outstanding performance representing the Wollongong Diocese, where the Girls’ team finished 1st at the NSWCCC Carnival.
Selena also played a key role in the NSW Metro team’s victory at the Emerging Matildas Championships. She continues to impress with her skill, determination, and humility. We are incredibly proud to have such an exceptional talent as part of our school community.
As always, students are encouraged to sign up and trial for representative teams. Below you will find registration links for both our DIO and NSWCCC events. If you require any further information please visit the Diocese of Wollongong sports here.
