SPORTS AWARD 740 strong student body
K-12 education with 8 specialty sports programs
$7,900 ANNUAL TUITION
This New South Wales college is the rare K-12 private institution that merges a strong specialty athletic focus with a regular mandatory curriculum. The specialty sports programs include rugby union, rugby league, football, tennis, netball, dance, basketball, and academy sport. The last is a general category where athletes develop strength and prowess in a range of sports they choose, rather than focusing on one sport. K-2 grade levels have a separate, general sports program helping them on their way to become future athletes.

Special Team Builder programs focus on forging a team spirit and mindset among the sporting students. The state-mandated curriculum is followed for the academic side under the supervision of qualified teachers trained to serve as tutors and supporters beyond an ordinary teaching role. The average class size is 22. The college hires separate specialty staff to attend to the different subject matters and different sports. Therefore, the teaching and coaching duties are completely separate and mutually exclusive with every member of staff only dealing with their area of expertise. The school strives to round off the dual academic-sporting focus of the school by focusing on character development as well. According to the school, “Leader in Me (LIM) is a K-12 program that empowers students to make choices to lead and to set an example for others to follow. LIM is a program that develops every student to be life-ready leaders and to make a difference within their community.”
