College Sport at Mount Carmel

Below are some general policies that the College enforces in regards to sport.

Leave from venue notes: A reminder that if students wish to leave a venue they need to supply the Sport Coordinator with a note prior to Tuesday. A sample note is included below. 

Date   

To Whom it May Concern,  

I (parent / guardian name) give permission for my son / daughter (child’s name) to not return to the College at the conclusion of sport this afternoon.     

Kind Regards, 

(Parent / Guardian signature)

(Contact Number)

Any other notes on Tuesdays: If you are sick, injured or cannot participate on a Tuesday you must have a signed note from your parent/guardian detailing the reason for non-participation. You must bring this note to Mrs Pontin (Sport Coordinator) so an alternate plan can be arranged for you during sport time.

2020 Mount Carmel Catholic College Swimming Carnival 

Compulsory event for all Year 7 and 12 students and expressions of interest from competitive swimmers in Years 8-11. 

If you are in Year 7 and want to be involved in the activities on the day but are not a competitive swimmer that is ok! If you want to earn points for your house and try and make the Diocesan team - go for it!

All notes are now overdue and need to be returned ASAP. 

Date: Thursday 27 February 2020 (week 5)

Venue: Bradbury Swimming Pool (21 The Parkway, Bradbury)

Transport: All Year 7 students will be transported to and from the swimming pool by bus. All Year 8-12 students who attend the carnival will be required to arrange their own transport to and from the carnival. If transport can not be arranged, please see Mrs Pontin ASAP so transport can be organised. 

Year 7 Swimming Bus Information

Departure Time: 8:00am sharp

All other students (Yrs 8-12) who require transport are also to meet on the basketball courts at 7:50am for an 8:00am departure. 

Parents / guardians, family and friends are welcome to spectate on the day. ONLY OFFICIALS AND STAFF WILL BE REQUIRED ON THE POOL DECK. All spectators are asked to set up outside the pool gate.

SEEKING PARENT HELPERS: Please email or phone the Sport Coordinator if you would like to have an official role on the day pontint01@dow.catholic.edu.au

All permission notes have been distributed to Year 7 and 12 students. These are due back to Pastoral Advisors ASAP. 

TUESDAY RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY NOTICES

If students do not participate in the MISA sport program they are involved in the college’s Tuesday Recreational Sport program. This program offers students the opportunity to be active in a variety of different sports / activities either at school or in the local community. Students in Year 7 rotate with their house group through 4 different activities (a different activity each term). All other grades have the opportunity to elect what sport program they would like to participate in each term. This choice gives students the responsibility to be active according to their own interests, likes and strengths. 

All Tuesday Recreational Sport groups have now been finalised and added to the timetable and NO CHANGES CAN BE MADE - unfortunately students who did not take the time to complete their sport choices last year (Years 8-11) have been placed into an appropriate sport group for each term. Please check the relevant sports noticeboard and compass for your sport group in preparation for next Tuesday. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: We are still experiencing some technical difficulties with Compass and the sport description showing for students. Can I please ask that students refer to the sports noticeboard for the correct sport group / activity and ignore the compass description at this stage. Hopefully we can rectify the issue ASAP as I know this makes things confusing.
