IGSA Diving

MLC School had a spectacular day on the diving boards. We placed an incredible 3rd place overall at the IGSA Diving Carnival.

And congratulations to Elizabeth Feng (Year 4) and Grace Luo (Year 4) on also qualifying for the State Skills Nationals.

These outstanding results would not have been possible without the expert guidance and coaching of Shixin. We are incredibly proud of all of you.

Head of the River

On Saturday 14 March, MLC School Rowing Team competed at the prestigious Schoolgirl Head of the River, held at the Sydney International Regatta Centre. The regatta saw twelve MLC School crews, spanning Year 6 to Year 12, take to the water, with every student demonstrating outstanding skill, determination, and sportsmanship.

A highlight of the day was Alannah Ng’s (Year 8) exceptional achievement, securing a gold medal in the Year 8 Single Scull, a remarkable accomplishment that reflects both talent and dedication.

The coaching staff are proud of all students for their commitment and perseverance throughout the season. Their hard work has been evident in both training and competition, culminating in strong performances across all crews.

We now look ahead to the final event of the season, as nine of our senior rowers travel to Tasmania to compete at the Australian Rowing Championships. We wish them every success as they represent MLC School on the national stage.

Athletics

NSW State Athletics Championship

MLC School continues to celebrate outstanding achievements in athletics, with several students delivering exceptional performances at recent state and combined championships. 

Edith White (Year 7) achieved a fantastic result last week, winning the 80m hurdles at the Combined State Carnival. Her performance secured a qualifying time to represent NSW at the National Championships in Brisbane this April. 

Olivia Kalamvokis (Year 9) competed in two demanding state events over the weekend—the 1500m and 3000m. She placed 2nd in the 3000m and 6th in the 1500m, qualifying for both events at the upcoming Australian Athletics Championships. 

Also in Year 7, Chloe Pun and Jemima Pun have both qualified for two events each at the Australian Athletics Championships in Brisbane. Together, they will represent NSW across the 100m, 200m, 400m, and 800m events. Jemima delivered an outstanding performance in the 800m final, running a new personal best of 2:14.24 to secure a silver medal. This achievement has also earned her selection in the NSW team for the Australian Little Athletics Championships. 

Eve Ireland (Year 12) competed at the ACT Combined Athletics Championships, where she claimed gold while recording several personal bests. Eve has qualified for the heptathlon, 100m hurdles, and shot put, and will also compete at the Australian Athletics Championships. 

Congratulations to all these athletes on their remarkable achievements. We wish them the very best as they prepare to compete on the national stage.
