Program description
Elite Sports Performance is an Authority-developed endorsed program that enables a student engaged in representative or competitive elite sports activities to be recognised for the significant learning encompassed within such activities. The program requires that a student commits a minimum of 110 hours to the development of technical skills and knowledge of a specific sport through sports development programs such as those provided by the WA Institute of Sport, sporting associations’ sports programs and state or national development squads. Typically, a student would have been through a selection process and identified as gifted or talented in a particular sport. The program must involve one or a series of sports performances or competitions at a state level or higher. The program will also develop personal qualities such as commitment and discipline while building on a range of interpersonal skills.
