Sporting Excellence in Term 2 at MLC School

This term, it has been very exciting to witness the success of many of our MLC School sports teams and individual competitors. Sport continues to thrive at MLC School, with students achieving remarkable success across a wide range of disciplines. From the pool to the track, the dojo to the gym floor, our students have demonstrated dedication, talent, and school spirit.

We are currently reviewing our sports strategy and working hard to build team unity, school spirit and participation. We are already starting to see the benefits of this refreshed approach. Thank you to acting Directors of Sport Sarah Jauncey and Scott Carpenter and all the Sports staff for their efforts. I would also like to thank all the parents and carers who are supporting their children to attend training and for driving to venues all over Sydney (and beyond) to ensure that we field full teams in all games.

In swimming, Emi (Year 4) shone at the NSW PSSA Swimming Championships, placing 4th in the 50m freestyle and 2nd in the 50m butterfly. She also helped the CIS All Age Relay team secure gold and is now preparing to compete at Nationals in Melbourne—an incredible achievement! Fellow Year 4 student Gem also made waves, breaking two records in the S12 Multi-Class Freestyle and Backstroke finals.

At the 2025 Australian Age Championships in Brisbane, MLC Marlins Isabel (Year 9), Madison (Year 10), Hailey (Year 11), and Annaliese (Year 12) competed against the nation’s best, showcasing their commitment and skill.

Cross country has also seen outstanding performances. At the IGSA Championships, Olivia (Year 8) won gold in the 14 Years division, and followed up with a victory at the NSWCIS Championships! She now advances to the NSW All Schools event in July.

In Taekwondo, Leylim (Year 11) placed 2nd in the Inner University Competition’s 2nd dan black belt traditional poomsae category, representing the MLC Emerging Athlete Program with pride.

Our Gymnastics squad had a fantastic competition in Tamworth, with standout performances from Isabella (Year 8), Mia (Year 9), Emma (Year 6), Olivia (Year 9), Hannah (Year 10), and Eloise (Year 6). A special mention goes to MLC School Old Girl and coach Eugenie Tan (2020), who placed 2nd Overall in Level 10 and was featured on Tamworth news.

Congratulations to all our athletes for their incredible achievements and for representing MLC School with excellence and enthusiasm.
