MLC01
A lovely 3-1 win to make it two games in a row unbeaten. This gives us a chance of making play-offs, with a big game upcoming next week. It was great to see a huge defensive effort, with everyone tracking back to help out the defence. There was also some really nice midfield play, stringing passes together and using the ball out wide and putting our forwards into dangerous positions. Our forwards are also starting to make some lovely leads to create space high and wide up the pitch, leading to good goalscoring opportunities. Great penalty corner defending, with the third goal coming from a PCD counter attack to seal the win!
MLC03
A really spirited performance after the trek all the way down to Marang Parklands. The girls battled really hard and were unlucky to lose 2-0, after two good finishes into the bottom corners from the opposition. The defence battled really hard, making crucial tackles, and distributing the ball well. Our midfield was extremely solid, tackling well, and making some good combinations of passes! The forwards pressed well, and were unlucky to not see a huge amount of the ball, but when we did attack, they ran well and put pressure on the opposing defence. A huge thanks to Ella for putting her hand up to go in goal, and made some great saves!
Basketball
The past four weeks have been a truly amazing start to Basketball in 2025, with MLC01 currently being undefeated. From a tight first game that resulted in a draw against Roseville College, the team has worked hard in training to achieve larger wins in the second, third and fourth rounds. On the weekend, contributions from each member of the team were evident and led to MLC School doubling the score of Wenona in the end result.
This weekend MLC01 is looking forward to a game against Pymble Ladies College, which we will take on with determination. As the team continues to grow in confidence, develop skills and collaborative strategies we can continue to succeed and hopefully win the IGSA competition!!

MLC15 win in a nail-biter!
Our Year 7 netball team had a super close game against Loretto Kirribilli and came out on top with a 17–16 win!
The match was neck and neck the whole way, with both teams showing great skill and determination. We stayed focused, passed smartly, and defended really well. In the final minutes, we scored the winning goal and held strong until the end!
It was a nail-biting finish, and we’re so proud of the whole team for never giving up!

MLC09 take down ladder leaders
On Saturday MLC09, went head-to-head with OLMC03 in one of the most intense and hard-fought matches they have played this season. Our opponent’s brought the heat, creating intense pressure, but we held our ground with our defence, mid-court and consistent shooting. Every chance of possession felt important with the score remaining tied throughout the duration of the game. At the end of the third quarter, we found ourselves down by 4 points. Despite our tiredness and pressure to win, our team spirit prevailed and we became focused on being a supportive and positive team until we managed to claw our way to victory, beating our opponents, 28-21. Every player on our team stepped up – whether it was through tight defence, clever intercepts, or calm and accurate shooting under pressure. We’re incredibly proud of the determination and resilience we showed on the court.
