Summer Field Days 2024
Year 5 and 6 students took part in the Summer Field Days Interschool competition, participating in Touch, Cricket and T-Ball. For some students their chosen sport was new to them, while others were very familiar with it, which provided a valuable opportunity for students to work with a new team and display good sportsmanship.
Touch Rugby at College Rifles was a great success with the girls coming in fourth place, and the boys coming fifth overall.
Two mixed Mt Carmel teams played T-Ball at Shore Road Reserve in Parnell. Each team played non-competitively against 5 different schools. It was amazing to see both their batting and fielding skills improve with each game.
Our Cricketers competed at Ellerslie Cricket Club, playing the new 8 aside format. The three teams had a great time batting, bowling, and fielding, and came back to school with a new appreciation and love for cricket.
We were very lucky with the weather and the Year 5/6 teachers were impressed with students' participation! Well done to al the Mt Carmel students and a big thank you to all the parent helpers and drivers.
