PC Strong
Perth College’s long term athletic development program, purpose built to facilitate a well rounded physical literacy for all students.
PC Strong is grounded in the belief that access to strength and movement training opportunities should not be tied to an individual’s athletic ability, age or stage of physical maturation. Our three tiers are structured to enhance students’ physical development and wellness, while matching their desired level of involvement and required level of support.
All programs within the three tiers are informed by our Youth Physical Development Model, allowing students to seamlessly move between tiers during their time at Perth College as their priorities and goals shift.

Performance
The Athlete Development Program is a personalised, high-performance sports pathway designed to help students excel both academically and in their chosen sport, specifically tailored for Senior School student-athletes who are ambitious in their pursuits and eager to elevate their sporting performance to the next level.
Emerging
Our Emerging programs directly support our IGSSA Carnival Sports Teams by supplementing technical training sessions with tailored strength and conditioning opportunities.
IGSSA Athletes are provided with twice weekly group strength training sessions, developed in coordination with HPE and IGSSA Coaches to meet the specific needs of the training squad. Sessions are fun, high energy and encourage students to work with one another to challenge themselves in the gym environment.
Year 11-12 ATAR Dance Students also have access to additional support through the Emerging Program and are provided with tailored programs and testing opportunities, recognising the high physical demands of this art form.
Foundation
For the majority of Perth College Students, our Foundation program will be their first experience of PC Strong strength training. Aligning with Perth College’s Youth Physical Development model, it provides both age and experience appropriate resistance training opportunities for all students in Years 5-12.
The Foundation tier aspires to meet each of our students individual goals, ranging from being the best swimmer they can be, to reducing injury risk for dance or simply to improve their general strength for life.
These sessions cater for larger groups with a focus on fostering a positive first gym experience and developing a well rounded movement competency, whilst still improving physical traits.
