MLC Swimming Program
The two week intensive swimming program at MLC has come to its conclusion today. It was wonderful to see our students learning and improving on the lifelong skill of swimming. Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to assist the students when travelling to and from the pool. These events would not be possible without your support.
Representative Pathway Sport opportunities 2025
Next year, we will be providing opportunities for Stage 3 students to represent our school at Representative Sport Pathway Trials. These events are for students who:
- demonstrate a high level of skill development and talent in a sport
- have experience playing in regular competition outside of school
These trials are not come and try activities for the students - they must have substantial experience competing in the sport. Please find below the list and dates of the Representative Pathway Sport Trials for 2025. If your child has demonstrated the above criteria and is interested in attending a trial, please inform the school via email.
As there are only a limited number of students that can attend these trials in each sport, some sports may require a trial at school prior to select representatives. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
The following dates are for trials in Term 1 2025. There will be further opportunities in other sports later in the year.
