VISION
The Excellence: Accelerated Sporting Program (ASP) is a pioneering
program aimed at developing high achieving student athletes through
education, wellbeing and world class preparation.
ASP provides Queensland’s first accelerated sporting excellence pathway,
offering a tailored high performance focused curriculum from Years 7–12.
Students complete ATAR Physical Education by the end of Year 11, creating
crucial space in Year 12 for training, study, travel, recovery and wellbeing,
supporting athletes to achieve at a high level in all areas.

PATHWAYS
Links to state, national and QAS pathways. Inclusive of all sports, including para-athletes. Tertiary pathways in sport science, allied health etc. A model designed to support sporting and academic success, not one over the other.
What we prioritise:
Developing a professionally ready sportsperson through
4 core performance domains:
Self-directed athlete – We prioritise balance, planning and
reflective decision making so students become athletes who
set their own standards, manage competing demands and
sustain performance over time.
Sustained performer – We prioritise understanding smart training,
recovery, mindset and wellbeing practices that reduce burnout and
build long term athletic longevity, with early exposure to strategies
that strengthen resilience and consistency.
Physically literate learner – We prioritise early performance literacy
in movement, physiology, testing and data to prepare students for elite
expectations and with a sophisticated understanding of their bodies as
assets in their careers.
Principled competitor – We prioritise inclusivity, character and ethical
behaviours, supporting athletes from all sports, including para athletes,
to lead with integrity on and off the field and understand the
responsibilities of personal brand and role model influence.
