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

Student sport groups on Compass: Students are asked to check their compass for their sport group allocation. This is now ‘locked in’ and unfortunately can not be changed as selections and changes are now closed. It is important that students attend the correct sport group to ensure that they are accounted for and supervised for the afternoon of sport. If they attend the incorrect group they will be marked as ‘absent’ from the group where they are supposed to be and this will affect their attendance record. Please make sure you are attending the correct group each week. 

Also as mentioned at previous assemblies and meetings please ignore the large sport description on your compass page (according to this every student is in Fit HQ and this is an error) . Refer to the code below this description for your sport allocation. If you have any questions please see Mrs Pontin at the Sports Office. 

Leave from venue notes: A reminder that if students wish to leave from a venue they need to supply the Sport Coordinator. Notes can be signed at the sports office before, and up until, recess on Tuesday. A sample note is included below. 

Any other notes on Tuesdays: If you are sick, injured or can’t participate in sport 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) during recess on Tuesday so an alternate plan can be arranged for you during sport time.

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 Week 2. As outlined in earlier editions of the newsletter there is a technical issue with compass and for some unknown reason all students sport is described as Sport: Fit HQ (or something else). Please ignore this description and refer to the code below this or check the sports noticeboards. If you have any questions please see Mrs Pontin or your Pastoral Adviser for clarification.

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. 

Below is information for the upcoming Diocesan events in Term 3:

CCC EVENTS - TERM 3

Year 7-10 Boys CCC Football Knockout

And the success continues! The last update we had on our Years 7-10 Boys CCC Football team was when they beat Edmund Rice and John Therry in the Wollongong knockout competition to gain a spot in the quarter finals. The boys played their quarter final match against Marian Catholic College Kenthurst on Tuesday 30 July at Kareela Sports Field and what a game it was!

It was a competitive game against a strong, physical Marian College team. The boys conceded two goals within the first 10 minutes of the game and it was always going to be difficult to come back from that. Despite this, all of the boys kept playing hard and supporting each other out on the field. Their coach, Mr King, had faith in his team and kept his cool on the sideline. 

The tide started to turn when MCCC scored their first goal off a brilliant shot by Declan Doyle after a goalmouth scramble. The boys continued to hang in there and their patience and determination paid off. Samuel Sisounon scored MCCC’s second goal of the match off a free kick with only a few seconds on the clock, making the score 2-2 and taking the game into ‘golden goal’. 

The boys rose to the occasion and didn’t shy away from the pressure that came with ‘golden goal’. They all ignored the controversy that crept into the match and remained focused, with their eyes on the prize - the win. 

The winning goal was scored by Jamie Pandopolous off a free kick which deceived all defenders and the keeper from the opposing team - MCCC had achieved the win! An exciting, dramatic match where the old adage “it's not over until the final whistle” really comes into play. 

Congratulations to all of the boys (team list below) and their coach Mr King. You have all worked so hard to prepare for these challenging matches and your run continues - well deserved! Thank you again to Finlay Wade and Vann English for being linesmen on the day. The boys will play their semi-final match against Marist College Eastwood on September 3rd at Valentine Sports Park, Glenwood. If they get the win in this match they will play in the final on Wednesday 4th of September. We wish the boys the best of luck in their match in a few weeks time. Good luck with your preparation.
