Congratulations to our Sports teams 

MLC School’s sports teams consistently demonstrate their prowess in interschool competitions, establishing themselves as formidable opponents across various disciplines. Through a combination of dedicated training, strategic coaching, and unwavering determination, these teams consistently achieve success on the field, court, and track. Their achievements not only reflect individual talent but also highlight the collective effort and spirit of the MLC School community. With a focus on excellence and a commitment to representing their school with distinction, MLC’s School sports teams continue to raise the bar in interschool sporting competitions.

Each weekend sees hundreds of students from across the School competing in interschool sporting competitions. At the end of the term, we saw the final rounds of many of these competitions, with many of our teams earning the Premiership.  

Congratulations to the MLC 5, MLC 12, MLC 14 and MLC 16 Tennis teams (did not play due to wet weather but were announced Premiers because they finished on top of the ladder) and to MLC 14 and MLC 21 Badminton teams which also won their competitions. 

In a highly contested AFL match that literally came down to the last minute, MLC 1 player Yasmin (Year 12) managed to score a goal in the dying moments to beat Meriden and take the Premiership. They joined MLC 5 who were named Premiers in their division, but did not play due to the wet weather.  

Not to be outdone, our Junior competitors also had their fair share of success with the Junior School Cross Country Team which competed at the IPSHA Cross Country on Wednesday and did our School proud in the way they represented us.  

Whether they win or lose, interschool sport has many benefits for those who participate: 

• It fosters teamwork and cooperation.
• It enhances communication and social skills. 
• It promotes discipline and responsibility. 
• It boosts confidence and self-esteem. 
• It improves physical and mental health. 
• And it enriches learning and creativity, as students apply the skills and knowledge they acquire from sport to other areas of study and life. 

Congratulations to all those who play for MLC School and a huge thank you to our coaches, Director of Sport Lisa Filby, Assistant Director of Sport Kylie Bickerstaff and Sports coordinators Rebecca Bimson and Lauren O’Shea.
