- Ada and her diving partner Charlotte have just placed 3rd in the 15-16 girls synchro
Three x medals, Gold, Silver and Bronze! Outstanding!
We are incredibly proud of Ada’s performances and we can’t wait to celebrate her achievements with the MLC School community when she returns next week.
Competition began on Sunday, with Ada taking to the board in the 15 Years Springboard event. Despite the nerves that come with competing on the national stage, Ada drew on the advice of her coach, MLC School Diving Head coach Shixin (Golden) Li, focusing on his words of wisdom before each dive. Her composure and determination paid off, with Ada delivering an impressive performance to finish 5th in a highly competitive field of 17 divers. She was pleased with both the quality of her dives and her overall result.
Day Two saw competitors take part in the ever-popular Teams Challenge – a fun and unique event where teams are randomly selected from athletes across Australia and New Zealand. Ada’s team featured divers from New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and New Zealand, with athletes spanning different age groups and varying heights, adding an extra layer of challenge to the competition. They finished 15th out of 21 teams, enjoying the camaraderie and unique experience that the event provides.
MLC School Cricket Tour | Dare to Be More
Congratulations to Aditi Knowles (Year 9), Connie Rawson (Year 9), and Emily Moore (Year 7), who proudly represented MLC School on the recent Cricket Tour.
Over six gruelling match days, our cricketers played seven matches in challenging conditions, competing predominantly against local development squads.
Throughout the tour, the girls represented MLC School with pride, resilience, and outstanding sportsmanship. They embraced every challenge, supported one another, and truly embodied our school motto, Dare to Be More.
Congratulations to Aditi, Connie, Emily, and all involved on a fantastic tour. 💙🏏Netball
Special mention to our Senior Firsts Netball Team, who are playing in Division 1 in our Championship Term 3 this year. The girls played against Kambala with a huge score of 40-43. Though a loss for our MLC School girls, our Sports staff are absolutely over the moon for you, such a great game, you never gave up – well done girls!
Young MLC School Football side Pushes Champions All the Way
The MLC01 Senior First Football Team produced one of its most determined performances of the season last weekend, taking on a formidable Meriden College side that has dominated the Open Girls’ Football Competition in 2026, claiming both the IGSA and NSW CIS Championships.
The early 8am kick-off set the stage for an exciting contest, with MLC School matching the champions from the opening whistle. Despite facing a side featuring several NSW CIS representative players, the MLC School girls showed resilience, composure, and determination throughout the match.
Football Captain Carina Savoca (Year 12) was outstanding in midfield, providing calm leadership, excellent vision, and controlling the tempo of the game while continually disrupting Meriden’s attacking play.
In defence, Felicity McCormick (Year 8) delivered a remarkable performance beyond her years. Time and again, she frustrated the opposition with crucial tackles and defensive interventions, helping to keep MLC School firmly in the contest.
After Meriden opened the scoring early, MLC School responded brilliantly. Cassidee Fernando (Year 11) produced a superb solo run before calmly finishing to level the scores. The match remained locked for almost the entire contest, with MLC School holding the reigning champions at bay for over 70 minutes.
It took a late goal for Meriden to eventually secure a narrow victory, but the result did not reflect the outstanding effort and character displayed by the MLC School Team. Against one of the strongest school football sides, our players demonstrated tremendous courage, teamwork, and belief.
With such a young squad and many players returning in future seasons, the performance highlighted the exciting future of the MLC School Football Program.
A special welcome also goes to Alexandra Pajarillo and Liana Wai (Year 11), who both made the decision to begin their football journey this season by representing MLC School in IGSA Football. We hope you thoroughly enjoy the season and congratulate you on taking on a new sporting challenge.
Well done to the entire MLC01 squad on a fantastic performance – we’re excited to watch your continued growth throughout the remainder of the season.

Hockey
We had a great start to our Term 3 championship hockey campaign. Lots of new faces this term to give us our biggest program ever! Fielding four full squads of 16 is a huge step forward in the development of our Hockey Program, and we are heading from strength to strength. A draw, and a couple of close fought losses from MLC1/2/3 set the tone that we were looking to fight hard this term. However, the game of the week goes to MLC04. Our only Junior side this term, with many new faces to not just MLC School Hockey, but hockey in general – and you wouldn’t know it, a resounding 5-0 win against Wenona to stamp a mark on their league. Narrowly missing out on finals and a ribbon last term – this term is going to be all theirs!
MLC04 Hockey Opens Season with an Impressive Victory
The MLC04 Hockey Team has kicked off its 2026 IGSA season in style, recording a convincing opening-round victory over Wenona on the MLC School Sports Field.
Making the most of the home-ground advantage, the team produced an outstanding all-round performance. Several athletes who have recently transitioned from the MLC School Football Program made an immediate impact, bringing their athleticism, speed, and enthusiasm to the hockey field.
The squad features an exciting blend of experienced players alongside newcomers to the sport, creating a positive team environment and an exciting platform for the season ahead.
A special mention goes to Henriette Pitman (Year 7), who was outstanding in goal. Her confident performance ensured Wenona was kept scoreless, earning her first clean sheet of the season and providing the perfect foundation for the team’s victory.
Congratulations to all of the players on a fantastic start to the season. We look forward to watching the team continue to develop and build on this impressive performance throughout the term.
