New Director of Sport for MLC School

Following the temporary appointment of Scott Carpenter and Sarah Jauncey as Acting Co-Directors of Sport earlier this year, I am delighted to announce the following permanent appointments:

• Scott Carpenter has been appointed as our new  Director of Sport, he will conclude his role as Head of Senior School Operations to focus solely on sport at the commencement of the 2026 year.
• Sarah Jauncey will return to her role as Director of Experiential Learning in 2026 with the addition of oversight of sport included in the breadth of her role. Along with other co-curricular activities, Sarah will ensure consistency and oversee strategic planning for activities beyond the curriculum.

For the remainder of 2025 Sarah and Scott will remain in the current Co-Director of Sport model.

Congratulations to both Sarah and Scott on their new/ expanded roles, we thank them for their excellent leadership of the Sports department to date and are excited to see what comes next! Additionally, in the coming weeks, we will be advertising a new role: a permanent full time, Assistant Director of Sport, please share this exciting opportunity with your networks!

In other sport news, I would also like to share that Lauren O’Shea will be leaving the Sports department to take on a new opportunity with Toolbox Education as NSW representative at the end of term. We wish Lauren all the best for this exciting new opportunity and thank her for her contributions to the Sport department. Good Luck Lauren, always here if you need!
