MLC School Old Girl Named for Paris Olympics

Congratulations to MLC School Old Girl Ella Beere, our 2016 Sport Captain, recently announced on the Australian Olympic team for Sprint Kayaking.

Ella is the front seat paddler in the K4 event and together with her team, are thrilled to be given the opportunity to race on the World’s biggest stage in August.

‘MLC School has been a big part of my journey as a paddler. I took up the sport in Year 10 and my teachers and peers empowered me to be able to race at Junior Worlds in my final two years of school (2015 and 2016) and also complete my HSC. I even studied French from Year 7 to 10 and now I get to compete in Paris. It is a dream come true.’

I have been in touch with Ella, and she has said “I really miss the MLC School sports department… Some of my most treasured memories from school come from there. The squad is living on the Gold Coast until we go away but when I am in NSW next, I would love to come in. I’m very excited to give it my all in Paris.”

We wish Ella and the team all the best for August in Paris and will be cheering her on!
