Sport Report

As we round out the end of Term 2, the Sports department is certainly not taking its foot off the pedal. This weekend sees a full round of IGSA and IPSHA fixtures, with many teams competing for final ladder positions and striving to finish the season strongly. Best of luck to all MLC School teams, whether they are defending their place at the top of the ladder or pushing hard to get there.

This week we also hosted the annual MLC School Junior School Athletics Carnival. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all sports and teaching staff who contributed to making the day such a success. Student participation was outstanding, and the enthusiasm displayed throughout the carnival was wonderful to see. We look forward to sharing the House and individual championship results in next week’s newsletter.

Despite a long day at the carnival, 71 students from Year 6 – Year 12 also competed in the IGSA Athletics Trials. It was exciting to see students challenging themselves across a range of track and field events as they vied for selection in the MLC School Athletics Team. The final opportunity to qualify will be the 1500m trial, which will be held during our Wednesday afternoon athletics session at SOPAC in Week 1 of Term 3.

We would also like to wish Balbay Boyd (Year 7) the very best as she competes this week at the NSW CIS Basketball Championships. We look forward to following her team’s progress as they compete for the NSW All Schools title.

Finally, best wishes to the CIS Cup Football team ahead of next week’s CIS Cup Plate Final. The team will take on Shire Christian School at Valentine Sports Park, and we know they will represent MLC School with pride and determination.

Good luck to all students competing this week and throughout the remainder of the term.
