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
The annual Mount Carmel Catholic College Swimming Carnival was held at Bradbury Swimming Pool on Thursday 27 February. The weather was perfect for a carnival - the sun was shining and the crystal clear water was enticing for our swimmers.
The Year 7 cohort were welcomed to the carnival with a vibrant grandstand and buzzing atmosphere. The Year 10 House Captains did a great job of showcasing the house spirit that we pride ourselves on at Mount Carmel by ‘decking out’ the grandstand in red, blue, green and yellow. As the Year 12 students arrived, more and more colour filled the pool area. The ‘hawaiian themed’ dress up was a great success and all of the Year 12 students got involved adding to the festivities on the day.
The day commenced with the 50m freestyle event. Throughout the day students were given the opportunity to compete in butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke and freestyle varieties, including our ultra competitive relays that closed the carnival at the end of the day. We had some exceptional performances in the pool and the dedication and commitment that is required to excel in the sport of swimming was evident in many of our student athletes.
As well as our competitive races, our new Year 7 students were given the opportunity to compete and participate in a range of novelty events that were run by Mrs Tyra and Miss Vidovic. These activities offered our Year 7’s the opportunity to work together as a house, make new friends, be physically active and in some cases get soaked by our Year 12 student helpers. To end the day, all of our Year 7 students had the opportunity to be involved in the pastoral class noodle race which was loud, fun and full of splashing!
The points score changed multiple times throughout the day. There was one house in particular that had obvious swimming strength and talent in the younger age groups. This assisted in getting them over the line and being awarded the 2020 Swimming Champion House - congratulations to the Howard House for taking out the first carnival of the season!

As mentioned previously, for an individual to excel in the pool they need to showcase an impressive amount of commitment, sacrifice and dedication. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate each of our 2020 Age Champions.

The vibe was extremely positive on the day and this is due to not only the cooperation of our students but also the hard work on our staff and Year 12 student cohort throughout the carnival. I would like to thank all of our Year 12 students who ensured they were on time to their duty block and fulfilled their duty brilliantly. I would also like to thank all of the staff who volunteered their time on the day, whether it was as a timekeeper, student supervisor, starter, marshall etc. Thank you to the following staff members who made the carnival a great success; Miss Armour, Mrs Asuit, Miss Bowen, Mrs Cortes, Miss Donnellan, Ms Fyfe, Mr Harpley, Mr Harrison, Mr Huntly, Mrs James, Mr King, Mr Pilottis, Mr Quinn, Mr Teuma, Miss Toogood, Mrs Tyra, Miss Vidovic and Mr Withnall.
I would also like to take the time to thank all of our parent helpers on the day. Without your support and generosity the carnival wouldn’t have got off the ground. Thank you for your time and expertise on the day, it is greatly appreciated.
Let’s bring on the College Athletics Carnival on Monday 23 March to keep the good times going and the competitive spirit alive!

WATCH THIS SPACE - IMPORTANT INFORMATION The 2020 College Cross Country Carnival is on the last day of term - Thursday 9 April 2020 (Week 11). More specific details will follow in the coming weeks, but we wanted to advertise to parents / guardians that this College carnival has an early finishing time. Year 12 students will be dismissed at 1:45pm to avoid over congestion and traffic in the student / parent parking area. All other students (Years 7-11) will be dismissed at 2:00pm. If students are unable to make arrangements to accommodate this early finish time, staff supervision will be available at the College until normal afternoon buses arrive. |
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.
