The MLC School Gym was buzzing with energy as students competed in the annual House Rowing Challenge<\/strong>, one of the many events contributing valuable points towards the prestigious G. A. Davey Cup.<\/p>\n

Representing their Houses with pride,\u00a0six students from each House\u00a0took on the challenge of rowing\u00a0500 metres each\u00a0on an ergometer (indoor rowing machine). With every metre completed, teams demonstrated determination, resilience and teamwork as they pushed themselves to achieve the fastest combined time possible.<\/p>\n

The competition proved to be one of the most exciting House events of the year. The lead changed hands several times throughout the challenge, with Houses continually responding to strong performances from their rivals. Students, staff and supporters were kept on the edge of their seats as the results unfolded.<\/p>\n

After a fiercely contested battle,\u00a0Leawarra emerged victorious, producing a strong team performance to claim first place. Sutton\u00a0finished in an impressive second position, while\u00a0Mooramoora\u00a0secured third place after a spirited effort.<\/p>\n

Beyond the final placings, the event showcased the enthusiasm, sportsmanship and House spirit that are such important features of life at MLC School. Congratulations to all students who participated and contributed to a memorable afternoon of competition.<\/p>\n

With G. A. Davey Cup points on the line and plenty of House pride at stake, the House Rowing Challenge once again proved to be a highlight of the co-curricular calendar.<\/p>\n
