Selection Policy
The selection process will be a thorough, objective process carried out by a group of qualified staff members. Applications will be discussed and further research into students' abilities/attitudes will be carried out where necessary. It is important to note that students do not have a rite of passage from one year to the next. If a student who is not selected in the Academy performs exceptionally in their chosen sport it is possible they will be selected in the next year - potentially replacing a student who is not displaying the appropriate values and characteristics.
Tier 1 - curriculum based
To apply for the Tier 1 Academy of Sport you will need to fill out an online application form during the course selection process. Those accepted into the academy will be informed during Term 3.
Tier 2 - club based
The sports specific (technical and tactical) training groups will be selected by the relevant sports club and train as a group. It will be up to the clubs to decide how many they wish to have in these groups and they will have access to the WC strength and conditioning trainer.
