Cheerleading
The MLC Cheerleading Program provides classes for both MLC and External students and is co-ordinated by Peta Hill. All cheerleading students learn skills in dance, gymnastics and acrobatics. These skills are combined with music to form entertaining routines suitable for cheerleading competitions and displays. MLC Students will be required to audition for the Cheerleading Team during Term 1 and training will run during Terms 1 - 3. External students will be placed into a team that is best suited to their ability.
