Poppy Wilson - Year 8 Sports Scholarship Holder

This year through the Mount Carmel's school sport programs I have had the opportunity to participate in so many sport-based activities. From Secondary Athletics and Cross Country, competing against a multitude of schools from the North and the South of Tasmania, to Term 1 Volleyball and having so much fun with my amazing peers, to winning gold for my school with the Year 7/8 Hockey team, this year was jam packed and I had a great time playing sport, being active and having fun with my friends. During Term 4 I have represented the College in both the Year 7/8 Netball and Basketball carnivals.

At the end of Term 3 I had the opportunity to go away to Perth, W.A. representing Tasmania in the U14 Australian Hockey Championships. Mount Carmel was so supportive of me and cheered me on whilst I was away. The team was away for 10 days, playing 6 of those days and we finished 5th out of 12 teams, a record-breaking outcome for any Tasmanian girls’ team. I had an incredible time playing away and I'm so excited to bring my experience to the MCC school team next year, so we can bring home gold again!
