Farewell to Lisa Filby, Director of Sport

Welcome back, I hope the term has started smoothly for all. I am writing today to announce the resignation of Lisa Filby, our Director of Sport, who has been an integral part of the MLC School community for over nine years. Lisa will be leaving her position to take on an exciting new role as Sports Officer with Catholic Schools NSW and will conclude with us on Monday 12 May 2025.

Lisa began her journey with us in February 2016, initially serving as the Programs and Coaching Manager. Just a few months later, in June 2016, she was appointed Director of Sport—a position she has held with passion ever since. Throughout her tenure, Lisa has demonstrated a commitment to fostering a love of sport among our students and guiding them in their athletic pursuits.

Her time at MLC School has been marked by her commitment with our emerging athletes, supporting them in achieving their goals and celebrating their triumphs along the way. Lisa has played a pivotal role in shaping the sporting culture at our School, her personal mantra of ‘have a crack’ embodies her belief that everyone should enjoy participating in school sport, no matter their experience or ability.

While we are sad to see Lisa leave, we are immensely grateful for the impact she has had on our School community. Her presence at sporting events and leadership of the department, over nearly a decade has left a mark on MLC School, and I am sure her absence will be felt by many.

In the coming weeks, I will communicate the plan for the Sports department moving forward. However, in the meantime, please join us in thanking Lisa for her service and wishing her all the best as she embarks on this new chapter in her career. We know that she will bring the same passion to her role at Catholic Schools NSW as she has brought to MLC School.
