What a wonderful week it has been with the sunshine finally making an appearance. The brighter days have certainly helped our teams enjoy their training sessions, and we’re all hoping the good weather continues so our games can go ahead as planned. Our Netball teams in the ERNA competition are entering a crucial stage, with many facing must-win matches this weekend. Best of luck to all MLC School teams competing on Saturday.
Last week, our students braved the challenging weather to compete at the IGSA Athletics Carnival with outstanding enthusiasm and team spirit. Guided by coaches Jim, Lorenzo, and Stefan, the team’s commitment was evident as every event had an MLC School competitor, with many students stepping up to try disciplines outside their usual comfort zones.
The effort paid off in spectacular fashion: an impressive 13 students reached event finals, and numerous personal bests were celebrated across the team. A special mention goes to Eve Ireland (Year 11), who dominated the shot put, discus, and javelin—securing all three titles with new personal bests. Eve’s incredible achievements saw her crowned IGSA Intermediate Athletics Champion.
MLC School also proudly claimed the Division 3 title and was named Most Improved School of 2025. This is a remarkable turnaround from 2024, having climbed 26 places to secure the trophy.
Congratulations to every member of the IGSA Athletics team, whose determination, adaptability, and support for one another set a fantastic example for our school community. Your willingness to step up for your team and give your best effort in every event is truly inspiring. We are very proud of you all!
This week, students from Years 3 to 6 participated in the IPSHA Athletics Carnival at Sydney Olympic Park. The MLC School team gave outstanding performances, with many girls achieving personal bests throughout the day. A special congratulations to Calais Durie (Year 5), who has been selected for the IPSHA Athletics team and will be competing at the CIS Carnival next week.
Looking ahead, next Thursday is the House Athletics Carnival for Year 6 to Year 12, also at Sydney Olympic Park. If you haven’t yet completed your daughter’s permission form via Omnia, please do so promptly. It promises to be a fantastic day filled with house spirit, fun, and laughter—we can’t wait to see everyone there!
Earlier this term Georgia Coxsedge (Year 9) represented NSW at the School sport Australia Hockey and AFL championships. This we received a lovely email from NSW coach and manger. Please a small extract from the email showing how Georgia showed just what being an MLC School girl is all about.
‘Georgia was an integral member of the NSW All Schools Team, representing herself, her school, and our state with distinction. Throughout the tournament, she consistently demonstrated maturity, composure, and strong sportsmanship both on and off the field. Her positive attitude and commitment to excellence set a high standard for her teammates and contributed significantly to the team’s cohesion and performance.
Her ability to apply feedback, support her peers, and lead through example played a vital role in the team’s growth across the competition. Importantly, her determination and performance were key in helping the NSW All Schools Team secure the bronze medal. She embodied the core values of teamwork, resilience, and respect that are at the heart of school sport, and her contribution was central to our success.’
