Wakatipu High School
High Performance Sport Support
Course Option Description
Head of Learning Area (HOLA): Ms C. Sibtsen.
Why This Course:
This course is designed to better serve our high achieving and promising senior student-athletes and will support these students to achieve both their academic and sporting goals.
Course Information:
The course will be available to Year 11-13 students and is designed to be very holistic. Key focus areas will include; self-management and organisation (balancing various academic and sporting demands across the year); utilising class time to train both together and individually; wellness and the factors that feed into a healthy well-balanced athlete i.e nutrition, sports psychology and injury prevention.
Academy Southland will provide support materials and guidance for students who will also get access to the local knowledge and expertise available at Axis Sports Medicine as well as other expertise.
Students would also have the ability to utilise the sessions to prioritise academic demands in other subjects and/or train specifically for their individual sports. This course will replace a study line for Year 13 students. This course is predominantly for Year 12 and 13 students, entry to other year levels on a case-by-case basis.
