Course Description

This course is by invitation only.

The Leadership and Performance Program (LEAP) aims to support talented and dedicated sportspersons and those interested in a career pathway directed towards sports science, health and fitness.

With a focus on developing good leaders and high-performance athletes, students will develop character, self-motivation and discipline, as well as their passion for sport, health and fitness.

In exploring participation in physical activity from mechanical, physiological and psychological perspectives, students will progressively develop skills, knowledge and understanding that will enable them to pursue their personal interests and potential as athletes, coaches, officials and/or administrators and to support others’ participation.

The particular sporting contexts for the varying units will depend upon numbers and facilities available. It is suited, but not limited to, students wishing to study Physical Education Studies in Years 11 and 12.

Acceptance into this course as part of the Leadership and Performance Program is based on the values as displayed in LEAP and Health and Physical Education classes in Lower School.

Students selected for this course will have a keen interest and skill in all areas of Health, Movement and Physical Activity. LEAP is a year-long course and should be selected in both Semester 1 and Semester 2.
