In 2021 Manor Lakes P-12 College is proudly offering an extracurricular sporting program focusing on student athlete development and sporting career pathways – The Sports Academy.
Students are able to take part in the program through a select entry process, and must demonstrate excellent athletic abilities, outstanding behaviour and dedication to their academics. The Sports Academy will run outside the school timetable (before and after school) and will include specific skill training sessions.
It is compulsory to be part of one of the 7 academies on offer if you are accepted into the Athelete Development Program Class., however, you do not have to be part of the Athlete Development Program to be eligible to apply for one of the academies on offer. Final decisions will rest with the coaches.
Sports Academy students will operate under the motto of “dream of a better future, believe in a pathway to it, achieve greatness through hard work.”
The program specialises in seven sports:
Netball
Australian Rules Football
Basketball
Cricket
Rugby League
Soccer
Volleyball
At the start of Term 1 the coaches will hold tryouts for students to be involved with the Sports Academy. You will be informed when these tryouts will take place via school communications on compass and school notices throughout the day.
