Student Sports Council 

2026 Heads of Sport 

Ella Drake and Bridget Mihaljevich

The emphasis for this year’s sports council will be to continue to develop leadership and responsibility for sports at Carmel. The sports council plays an integral part in linking students to sport and encouraging girls to participate in sports.

All students in Y10-13 have the opportunity to be on the Sports Council each year. Signups and interviews occur in Term 4 of the previous year and again in late Term 2 of each year depending on the numbers required for positions. 

This involves running Wednesday and Friday lunchtime activities for a wide range of sports, taking photos games, organising competitions, coaching a team if needed, helping with the Sports Awards, and assisting in major sporting events at Carmel College e.g: Swimming Sports and Athletics Days. 

Students involved are expected to do the following :

• Liaise with each sport and see how they can assist with the delivery of the sport.
• Run a have a go day for each of the sports within their portfolio at least 
• Understand the rules for each sport to run effective have a go days.
• Organise coaches or other students to assist with the have a go day as required.​​​​​​​
• Market your initiative and attract students to your session.
• Report back to council on initiative and recommendations for the next session
