Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Head down to the MLC School Sports Field to catch our three incredible hockey teams in action. While you’re there, treat yourself to the best-ever bacon and egg roll, a sausage sandwich, and other tasty snacks, all in support of the Sony Foundation Holiday Camp.

It’s been inspiring to see our athletics stars shine each week, and even more heartening to watch other Senior School students step up with courage and school spirit to give athletics a go.

Update on Sport pockets
Late last week a change to the process of the sports pockets has been implemented. To align the process with music and other cocurricular activities, sports coordinators will now issue pockets to students automatically without having to submit forms. This will take effect immediately. If your daughter has missed a pocket from this year, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
