Representative Sport

There are a couple of trials open at the moment. Please ensure your child is looking through the notices to see what trials are open.

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.

NRL – Open Boys

The Carmel College Open Boys Rugby League team played in the semi-finals of the schoolboy trophy. It was our first game of the year and were up against a very slick Aquinas College team. Although we were beaten, the boys played tough right until the final whistle and the NRL officials commented on the boy’s commitment and grit. We were missing a few players through injury and sickness and had limited numbers on our interchange bench. We are working behind the scenes to host an Open Boys game this term at our College (TBC). Well done to all the boys that played and committed to the trainings.

A big thank you to Mr Khamal Ganley and Ms Nicole Clough for travelling with the boys to make this opportunity possible.

On Tuesday 5 August our Youth Boys took on Sienna Catholic College in the Southeast Queensland FINAL for the AFLQ Schools Cup.

It was a hard-fought contest, and our team played extremely well together in the third quarter. Unfortunately, our team went down by two and a half goals but gained some important learning lessons for future years.

Shout out to Mr Craig Wilkinson, Mr Dion King and Mr Lachlan Reilly for your coaching and mentoring this Youth team.
