Amazing Rowing Acheivements in Term 1

The School has a proud tradition of pursuing personal excellence through sport, and rowing is no exception. The MLC School Rowing program emphasises collaboration, personal excellence, respect, and pride. The program includes various training sessions, both on water and on land, and is designed to develop students’ skills and foster a strong sense of community.

Early this term, the MLC School Rowing Competition Squad raced at the Sydney International Regatta Centre. Despite the heat and humidity, our squad showed impressive tenacity against tough competition.

Charlie (Year 12) finished 3rd in the second division of the Schoolgirl single scull. Congrats, Charlie!

Our Schoolgirl Quad of Ella, Rebecca, Eliza, and Sophie (all Year 11), coxed by Alannah (Year 7), also finished 3rd in division one, narrowly missing 2nd place.

At the IGSA Sports Regatta, Alannah (Year 7) won 1st place in the Schoolgirl Year 8 single scull. Adelaide (Year 10) secured 2nd place in the Year 10 Single Scull. Jemima and Nicola (both Year 10) showed fierce determination in their double, earning a well-deserved 2nd place.

Ashley and Clementine (both Year 11) finished 2nd in their race, while Stephy, Isabelle, Phoebe, and Julia (all Year 11), coxed by Miranda (Year 11), finished 2nd in the Second Division of the Schoolgirl Quad.

Eve (Year 11) excelled in the final of the Schoolgirl Single Scull, competing in both a heat and a final.

To top off a fantastic day, the MLC School Rowing Squad won the IGSA Rowing Champion School Handicap Point Score Trophy. Congratulations to our oarsome squad!
