We would like to build on that this year. All students that have signed up and made a commitment to play sport are required to turn up to every game and training session. Consequences for those students who do not fulfil their commitment remain in place. Students in Senior School will be given an Accountability Point for the first offence in a term. After that sport detentions will be given. Let\u2019s keep supporting each other and the School by not only \u2018showing up\u2019 each week but having fun, learning some new skills and showing the amazing School Spirit that we have.<\/p>\n<p>If your daughter is unable to attend a game or training session, please ensure you contact the Sports coordinator well in advance so that a replacement can be found for the matches. The night before does not help, so as much notice as possible is appreciated by everyone.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;border-style: double\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\">IPSHA Football<br \/>\nFencing<br \/>\nMLCFIT<br \/>\nDiving<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><strong>Scott Carpenter,<\/strong> Director of Sport<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><a href=\"mailto:scarpenter@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\">scarpenter@mlcsydnsw.edu.au<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\">Water Polo<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><strong>Francesca Fitzhenry, <\/strong>Assistant Director of Sport<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><a href=\"mailto:ffitzhenry@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\">ffitzhenry@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\">Tennis<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><strong>Ludovic Catherine<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><a href=\"mailto:lcatherine@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\">lcatherine@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\">AFL<br \/>\nTouch Football<br \/>\nAthletics\/Run Club<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><strong>Isaac Laws<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><a href=\"mailto:ilaws@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\">ilaws@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\">Badminton<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><strong>Clare Iongi<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><a href=\"mailto:ciongi@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\">ciongi@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\">Rowing<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><strong>Charlotte Almond<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><a href=\"mailto:calmond@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\">calmond@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\">Swimming<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><strong>Colman Wong<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><a href=\"mailto:cwong2@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\">cwong2@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\">Gymnastics<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><strong>Naomi Bruce<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%\"><a href=\"mailto:nbruce@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\">nbruce@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\n<a href=\"mailto:scarpenter@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\"><em><strong>\u2013 Scott Carpenter<\/strong><\/em><\/a><br \/>\nDirector of Sport<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year saw a huge improvement in attendance in games and training for all Saturday sport teams.
