Diving – MLC School Diving Championships 2026 Make a Splash

On Saturday 7 February, MLC School proudly hosted the 2026 Diving Championships, bringing together 16 competitive students from Years 3 to Year 11 for an exciting day of competition and School Spirit. Students showcased their skills on both the 1-metre and 3-metre springboards, demonstrating courage, precision and determination. The Championships were particularly special for several girls who were competing in their very first diving competition. It was wonderful to see the strong sense of camaraderie throughout the day, with students cheering one another on and celebrating each other’s achievements. The event highlighted the depth of talent within the MLC School Diving program and reflected the hard work and commitment of our athletes in the lead-up to competition day.

A sincere thank you to our judges, staff and Dive Head Coach Shixin Li for their time, expertise and support in making the event such a success.

Rowing

MLC School Rowing enjoyed a full and exciting weekend at the PLC/King’s Regatta, with 13 crews representing the school across year 8 to Year 12 The depth of talent on display was impressive, as each crew delivered strong, competitive performances against a large field of schools. The consistency shown across all age groups highlights the hard work being put in on and off the water and sets a promising tone for the weeks ahead with Head of the River only 4 weeks away. 

Sunday saw MLC School Rowing return to the water for the IGSA Regatta, where our crews lined up against all other IGSA schools in a highly competitive field.
