Read more to hear about our most notably achievements this Term.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Wonderful Tildesley Results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">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:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<li><strong>Yasmine<\/strong>\u00a0(Year 8), <strong>Harlow<\/strong>\u00a0(Year 9) and <strong>Lana<\/strong>\u00a0(Year 12) making round 4 in singles<\/li>\n<li><strong>Angelina<\/strong>\u00a0(Year 10) and <strong>Kyra<\/strong>\u00a0(Year 10) making round 3 in doubles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, MLC School won the Spender Cup as the Most Improved School for 2025, moving from 19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0place last year to 14<sup>th<\/sup> 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\u2019s go for more next year!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em><strong>&#8211; Lana <\/strong>(Year 12)<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>2025 Captain of Tennis<\/p>\n<p><em>Click on gallery to view full images<\/em><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4608 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/04\/tennis-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/04\/tennis-1-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/04\/tennis-2.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/04\/tennis-2-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/04\/eb147b4b-6ea9-4700-b158-ee45055ce8ab.jpeg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/04\/eb147b4b-6ea9-4700-b158-ee45055ce8ab-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/04\/Tennis-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/04\/Tennis-3-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/04\/tennis-hero.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/04\/tennis-hero-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"page-title\"><strong>Eve\u2019s Athletics Achievement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eve<\/strong>\u00a0(Year 11) came third in NSW Little Athletics Heptathlon.\u00a0This was Eve\u2019s first attempt at competing in this event.<\/p>\n<p>Heptathlon is a gruelling points-based event over two days starting with 100m hurdles, high jump shot put and 200m sprint on the first day and then long jump, javelin and finally 800m.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Eve has now qualified for Nationals.
