Strength & Conditioning

Student Gym Programs

As part of the club structure within the College, parents will be invoiced a fee of $35 per child for the Term. They can attend 1 session per week for the term. The budget determined for each activity includes the costs to manage the administration, coaching and other ad hoc expenses for each club sport. This is set so that the College can operate these sports on a cost-neutral basis and so that coaches can be employed by the College to ensure the College is meeting all legal requirements associated with child safety. Students in Year 7 – 12 are able to particpate in the gym programs.

The checklist must be handed in prior to 10am the day you wish to train. Once completed, parents will be emailed a link for payment to secure their child’s spot for the day(s) chosen. Students are only able to attend on their nominated days and must attend those sessions each week unless notification (to Nat Cannon) is received.
