SATIS Athletics Carnival

Mount Carmel has had an outstanding Athletics season.  Following on from the team’s win at the Southern carnival, they headed to Launceston last Saturday for the State carnival.   Unfortunately the event was eventually cancelled due to a storm and persistent rain.  At the time the event was abandoned, Mount Carmel was performing very strongly against some tough opposition.  The bus left school at 5:30am, so it was a huge day for these athletes, and we are extremely proud of their achievements.    Well done to everyone for their commitment and hard work this year, and to the coaches for their time and significant contribution.   

Congratulations to the following students that achieved Top 5 placings in their events: 

Nitro Athletics

A smaller group of athletes took part in the exciting new Nitro Athletics Event on Tuesday afternoon at the Domain Athletics Centre. In the Junior (7/8) division were Year 8 student Felicity Wilson-Haffenden and Year 7 students Avalon Forbes, Jessica Bray and Natasha Furjanic.  The Year 9/10 team in the Intermediate division included Maddi Hay, Ava Faint, Maddison Brooks, Taylor Brooks, Mel Armstrong, Maisie Tully, Ella Marsh and Rebekah Furjanic.  The event was a fun, fast paced variation on the usual athletics programs, and enabled students to test their athletic ability against schools from all over the state. 

Primary Basketball

Well done to all the students that have been competing in the JSSATIS Basketball competition.  The roster finishes this afternoon, with our Year 3/4 team and two Year 5/6 teams having had a great season.  All teams had a combination of new and experienced players, and it’s been fabulous to see the players growing in confidence as the roster progressed and combining well as a team.  Thanks to Stacy Browne and Lisa Cranefield for coaching teams.   Last week when the Year 6s were in Canberra, the Year 4 and 5 students played a game against each other.  They had a fabulous game with great spirit, and lots of laughs.

Some of our basketballers are now turning their attention to the Primary Regional Basketball Championships which are being held on 19/20 October.  Mount Carmel are entering one team in both the Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 competitions.  Good luck to our teams!

Triathlon

The Tasmanian Schools Triathlon Challenge is aimed at promoting healthy lifestyle choices to students, regardless of ability, sporting background or current lifestyle.  Participation and enjoyment are at the foundation of this event. Students in Year 3 - 9 will have the option to participate as an individual competitor, as a member of a team of both.  The Secondary Event is on Thursday 5 December and the Primary event is on Friday 6 December at Bellerive Beach.  Letters will go out to interested students to be returned early in term 4.
