Sport Development and Performance Program

A nationally recognised and leading sports development program designed to foster student engagement and lifelong participation in sports.

Acknowledged as an ‘Excellence Awardee’ for Best Co-Curricular Program at the 2023 Australian Educational Awards, the Perth College Sports Development and Performance Program is a sports engagement initiative that encourages student participation in a wide range of competitive and non-competitive activities throughout their educational journey. As an extension of our Physical Education curriculum and Inter-School (IGSSA) sports offerings, this program allows students to benefit from the increasing investment in female sports across the country while exploring sporting interests that align with their passions and needs.

The Sports Development and Performance Program offers two distinct pathways: the Community Sport Pathway and the Performance Pathway. Each pathway provides tailored programs designed to meet the unique interests of our school community, ensuring that students can continue participating in sports beyond their time at Perth College.

Community Sport Pathway

Perth College’s Community Sport Pathway promotes and encourages sports participation for students of all abilities from Pre-Primary to Year 12. It offers a variety of co-curricular sporting programs designed to build confidence, foster connections among students, and enhance access to community sporting opportunities made available through the School.


Performance Pathway

The Performance Pathway is a personalised, high-performance sports pathway designed to help students excel both academically and in their chosen sport. At the core of this pathway is the Athlete Development Program, specifically tailored for Senior School student-athletes who are ambitious in their pursuits and eager to elevate their sporting performance to the next level.

Our goal is to inspire joy in learning, every day. All our academic and co-curricular programs are created specifically for girls, in an environment that nurtures confidence and determination.
