Before School Tennis Coaching

After the success of Term 1, before-school tennis is back at Mount Carmel!

We are in Week 2 of a 5-week program and it is inclusive for all ages and abilities. Participants are involved in a variety of movement and hand-eye coordination drills which are essential to progressing their overall tennis ability. But it isn't just racquets and tennis balls....we also use a soccer ball and some fishing nets, getting creative in the ways to develop their skills. By the end of the 5 weeks players should all have a basic understanding of groundstrokes, serves and scoring.

Youth Forum 2024

We are thrilled to announce that Year 10 student, Lucy Allen, will be attending the Tasmanian Youth Forum (TYF) 2024. This year's TYF will focus on a crucial topic: housing in Tasmania. It aims to understand what makes housing suitable for young people and what needs to be done to ensure that all young people have access to safe, appropriate, and affordable homes.

We wish our Lucy  all the best and  look forward to hearing about her experiences and the insights  gained from participating in the TYF 2024.

Kiss and Drop

A reminder to all parents and carers who use the Kiss and Drop zone in Quorn Street to adhere to the following points so that all our students are kept safe in the area.  

• Please enter via the Earl St side of Quorn St (University end) and move to the furthest available spot to allow other cars to come in behind you. This means turning left only into the area and not making a right hand turn into the zone or accessing the zone from David Avenue (please see attached map).
• Before school, students need to be fully dressed so that they exit the car promptly from the left hand passenger side.
• Upon exiting the zone drivers are to only make a turn left on to Quorn Street, proceeding to Nelson Road.
• Vehicles are not to be left unattended in the area. The Kiss and Drop Zone is not a parking bay. If a student is not waiting in the zone when their parent/carer arrives, parents/carers are asked to do a lap of the block.
• If you are collecting your child in Quorn Street and are not using the Kiss and Drop zone, please ensure that you do not park on or over the Children’s Crossing.
• All students must cross at the Children’s Crossing and we ask all adults to model this behaviour as well.
• Phones and other devices can be a distraction for pedestrians, affecting their ability to cross a road safely. We ask that students, parents and carers do not use their devices whilst crossing the road or in the Kiss and Drop zone.
• Drivers are reminded that Quorn Street is a 40 km/h zone with electronic signs either end of the street indicating the hours that this speed limit is enforced.
