Aquatic Centre Registration Form

The Podium-Ready Program (PRP) services students competing at a state level or higher. These students may have extraordinary interruptions to school life due to commitments to sport, including high training-hours/travel, regular competitions taking up weekends, or events that require school days to be missed, affecting how they meet their academic requirements.

The program facilitates and supports the development of these individuals by assisting them in managing their commitments to their area of expertise as well as their academic pursuits, and encourages recognition of the individual’s achievements at school and throughout the wider community.

The program can also assist students in areas of training, offering extra skill-specific sessions, even working with their external coaches to help target their school-based training to their overall training goals and development. 

Students must apply to be a part of this program. The PRP application process involves the following steps: 

1. Complete the online PRP application form here
2. The Head of Sport and associated PRP staff (including sport facilitators and executive staff) will review your application.
3. You will be notified whether your application was successful.
4. If successful, you will be sent a letter of acceptance.
5. Once the letter is signed and returned to the Head of Sport a meeting will be organised to discuss your needs, as well as further expectations from the program. 
6. A review of your PRP status will be conducted annually to ensure you are getting the most out of the program and so that we may make any adjustments needed.
