JSSATIS Swimming Carnival

On Thursday 20 March, the Primary Swimming team took part in the JSSATIS Swimming Carnival at the Doone Kennedy Hobart Aquatic Centre. There were plenty of nerves early on, before the swimmers settled into their races. The team cheered and supported each other to do their best.  Well done to everyone that swam and competed so strongly.  

The team will have another chance to swim at the STCPSSA Swimming Carnival tomorrow, Friday 28 March. 

Ribbons were awarded as follows:

Secondary Volleyball

The Secondary Volleyball roster has been a huge success this term, with 6 teams representing Mount Carmel in the Monday and Tuesday afternoon rosters.  

The Year 7/8 roster includes 23 teams, with the Year 8 Gold currently sitting in 4th position with 8 wins from 9 matches.  Year 8 Navy and the Year 7 Navy and 7 Gold, are all relatively new to the sport, and while still learning on the job, they are having heaps of fun and have all enjoyed some success along the way.  

The Year 9 and Year 10 teams are playing in a 15 team, split pools roster. The Year 9 team enjoyed their first win of the season last week defeating 4th placed St Mary's 9 Blue in a thriller 2 sets 53 points to 1 set 48 points. The Year 10 team are playing well together, and currently sitting in 3rd position in their pool, with 3 wins from 5 matches.   

Well done to all players, and thanks to volunteer managers for giving up their time to support students to participate.
