Representative Sport

There are a few trials open at the moment. Please ensure your child is checking the notices to see which trials are available.

All student forms for school representative pathways must come through the Sports Office so that we can approve leave and get appropriate principal consent to trial. Thank-you to all students who have been checking notices and following this process. We congratulate the large number of students who have found success in these trials and competitions. We do not generally receive results from State or National Championships so if students are involved, can you please send these results and photos through to our sport@carmelcollege.qld.edu.au address so that we can share this with our community.

Please check emails if your child was to attend a trial that was postponed. I have sent out a number of emails to the student and parents of those affected.

Bayside Cross Country Success for Carmel College

On Wednesday 7 May, our Carmel College Cross Country team participated in the Bayside Cross Country event held at Capalaba Regional Park. With over 60 enthusiastic students representing our school, it was a day filled with determination, perseverance, and outstanding performances.

Our team finished 4th overall, a commendable achievement given the level of competition. The students' hard work and dedication were evident as they navigated the challenging course with grit and resilience.

We are particularly proud to announce that fourteen of our students have qualified for the Met East Cross Country carnival, which will take place on Tuesday 27 May. This is a significant accomplishment, and we are excited to see our runners compete at the next level.

A big congratulations to all our students who participated and gave their best effort. Your commitment and sportsmanship are truly inspiring. We also extend our best wishes to our runners who will be competing in the upcoming Met East Cross Country event. We know you will continue to make us proud.

Thank you to everyone who supported our team. Let's keep cheering on our athletes as they strive for excellence. Go Carmel College!

Super 7s Open Netball - BOYS

Last Friday, our Boys Open Netball team took to the court at the Super 7s competition, facing off against some tough and talented opposition. This marked the first time our boys have competed as a team against other boys' teams this year—and what a debut it was!

Despite the challenge, the team rose to the occasion with determination, teamwork, and grit. Each match tested their skills and resilience, and they responded with heart and hustle.

While a scoring controversy meant we played off for a lower final position than we had hoped, the experience was invaluable. The lessons learned on and off the court will fuel our preparation for upcoming competitions, including the QC Cup and Vicki Wilson.

Well done to all the players for representing our school with pride and sportsmanship!
