The day was filled with energy, enthusiasm, and School Spirit, creating a vibrant atmosphere poolside.<\/p>\n<p>Popular events such as the Synco and Splash for a Sash once again proved to be highlights of the carnival, entertaining competitors and spectators alike. This year also introduced an exciting new opportunity to showcase the impressive depth of talent among MLC School swimmers. The House Carnival Finals saw MLC School\u2019s fastest swimmers&#8217; power through the water in electrifying races, cheered on by passionate House supporters.<\/p>\n<p>The Championship events returned this year, and our athletes certainly did not disappoint. Our top swimmers were not only competing for valuable House points but also striving for the prestigious Age Championship titles. The level of competition was exceptional, with students demonstrating determination, resilience, and outstanding sportsmanship throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>We congratulate our Champion House, Synco team, and Splash for a Sash winners for their achievements. Most importantly, we would like to acknowledge our elite swimmers who have earned the major swimming awards for 2026. These students will be presented with their trophies on Speech Day later in the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MLC School Swimming Champions<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ashley Clapham<\/strong> (Year 8) \u2013 Junior Champion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Isabel Floro<\/strong> (Year 10) \u2013 Intermediate Champion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Madison Chantler<\/strong> (Year 11) \u2013 Senior Champion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Click on image gallery for full size images, L-R: Ashley Clapham; Isabel Floro; Madison Chantler.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-45321 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/05\/Ashley-Clapham.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:2:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/05\/Ashley-Clapham-400x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/05\/Isabel-Floro-Edited.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:2:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/05\/Isabel-Floro-Edited-400x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/05\/Madison-Chantler.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:2:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/05\/Madison-Chantler-400x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IGSA Cross Country Last\u00a0week\u00a0MLC School sent over 30 students to compete at the IGSA Cross Country Championships.\u00a0The Frensham Cross Country course was\u00a0absolutely fabulous, where all students ran through\u00a0the\u00a0tree\u00a0paths, over bridges, up hills,\u00a0around the grounds\u00a0We would like to congratulate\u00a0the following\u00a0students on their\u00a0selection\u00a0to compete at CIS Cross Country Championships.
