Congratulations to Layla Nichols (Lourdes 1) who represented Mount Carmel College in snowboarding at the South Australian Interschools Competition at Falls Creek and placed 1st in her division (14th place overall).

Layla also participated in the Hotham Junior Freestyle series (Mount Hotham Victoria) and placed Bronze in Rail Style competition.

And if that wasn't enough time on the slopes, Layla also trained with Australian Olympian Alex Pullin and through the Pathway Training program that Layla is affiliated with, she met and was mentored by Olympian Scotty James.  What an amazing experience for Layla
