Mount Carmel is a part of the Diocese of Wollongong so we compete in Diocesan Sporting events throughout the college year. At these events / carnivals, schools from the Diocese of Wollongong come together to compete for points towards the Vince Villa Trophy that is awarded to the Champion School at the end of the College year. Mount Carmel historically performs well at these Diocesan events and last year finished a close 3rd place overall in the Vince Villa Trophy.

Summer Safety Tip

With the summer holidays fast approaching, there will be the inclusion of a ‘Summer Safety Tip’ in the newsletter each week. These tips will act as a reminder for our students and the wider community to look after themselves and their friends / family in the summer months.

Tip #3 - Keep Hydrated

During summer, your body heats up quicker than it does during the colder months, it is important to listen to your body when it is hot and hydrate appropriately. When you feel yourself start to sweat, replenish the liquid lost by drinking water as excessive sweating can lead to dehydration. The combination of both hot temperatures and dehydration can lead to serious heat-related illnesses.

Before you become dehydrated, you will feel thirsty and your mouth will become dry and sticky. Do not ignore these early signs, as even a little dehydration can become a big problem.

Health authorities recommend drinking 2 litres of water a day.
