Elite Sports Program
The Elite Sports Program at Bunbury Catholic College is designed to support students who have a particular interest, talent or capability in sports.
The program includes learning opportunities in sports performance, coaching and officiating that are not easily accessible in junior community sport, and develops skills that apply to many sports.
We are mindful of our students having a high level of participation in community sport. The program is designed to maximise physical conditioning and skills in a way that does not overload teenagers during their growth and developmental stages, applying sport science principles imparted by our experienced Health and Physical Education team. The program is age appropriate; many sessions will be physically challenging, but those with a good work ethic and a love of sport will thrive.
