Athlete Sports Performance Programme

The Athlete Sports Performance programme (Years 11–13) is an extension of the Years 9–10 Athlete Sports Development programme where students involved have the opportunity to continue to apply knowledge with greater independence under the guidance of expert mentors.

This holistically focused programme allows students to maintain a balanced lifestyle and provides them with enhanced opportunities for success. Extensions of the four pillars of high performance continue to be delivered and the staff working with the students are there to provide mentoring in:

• balance in academic, sports and social commitments;
• time management;
• academic support;
• pastoral care and guidance;
• access to the latest resources in sports performance;
• co-ordination with external coaches.

The programme is structured to support, encourage and nurture athletes so they have the best chance to maximise their collective opportunities in sport, academics and personal development. The course provides an opportunity for students to implement self-management as they prepare for their journey as athletes beyond school.
