Wonderful Tildesley Results
Late in Term 1, a group of 22 girls competed in the annual Tildesley Tennis tournament, the longest-running schoolgirl tennis tournament in Australian history. This year, we had some of our best results yet. Some notable achievements include:
- Yasmine (Year 8), Harlow (Year 9) and Lana (Year 12) making round 4 in singles
- Angelina (Year 10) and Kyra (Year 10) making round 3 in doubles
Additionally, MLC School won the Spender Cup as the Most Improved School for 2025, moving from 19th place last year to 14th place this year. This goes to show the immense amount of effort and dedication these girls have put in. The extra training sessions and hard work have definitely paid off. All the coaches and I are super proud of everyone who competed and cheered on their teammates. Let’s go for more next year!
