The 2025 Senior School Fencing Championships held at Sydney Olympic Park brought together some of the most talented young fencers from across the region—and among them, the MLC School team shone brilliantly.
Demonstrating exceptional skill, teamwork, and determination, the MLC School fencing team returned home with a haul of medals, marking the event as one of the most successful in recent school history.
A Haul of Gold, Silver, and Bronze
MLC School dominated in both the Teams Foil and Epee events, securing two Gold medals and one Silver, underscoring their strength in group performance and tactical cohesion. The teamwork and communication among the fencers were evident as they confidently advanced through rounds against strong competition.
