• Create a motivating environment that encourages excellence
• Encourage students to become self-managing athletes.

The Structure of the Academy of Sport

The WC Academy of Sport will run a two-tier system.
Tier 1 students will take the Academy as an option subject and therefore will be given curriculum time (in-school time) to develop both physically and mentally. The focus will be on general sporting components such as nutrition, fitness testing, training, goal setting etc. They will also team up with Tier 2 students for the sport specific technical and tactical training.
