The Athlete Development Programme will support students in tailoring their academic needs and will prepare girls with the skills and knowledge for the demands of high-performance sports. The program aims to assist students in balancing their demanding sporting and academic calendars in a supportive educational environment. 

The Programme is designed to cater for students who are emerging, aspiring or high-performing athletes, and who want a holistic, well-rounded approach to their development in both sport and academic life. The program aims to develop the skills of our students such as leadership, teamwork and communication, through providing a range of specialised health and support services. 

Sue Pavish, Director of Sport at Moreton Bay College, said “she is very excited to work with the World Academy of Sport and the opportunities that this partnership presents for our student athletes, coaches and staff.”
