Leaders In Sport Program

Background

We are now in the third year since the introduction of the Leaders in Sport Program (LIS) at Year 9. The program focuses on students with a passion for sport, leadership and academic achievement. The program allows students to develop their athlectic ability, skills in teamwork, personal development, leadership and organisation while undertaking their academic studies.  The students in the inaugural class are now in Year 11. We want to continue to challenge, engage and inspire our LIS students, to keep them connected as a cohort and explore ways of continuing their involvement in the programas they move through Senior School.

The Year 10 LIS program overview

The program is structured to enable the current Year 9 LIS students to continue their program into Year 10 but at the same time retain some choice in their subject selection. Students must complete six subjects each semester a total of twelve over the year.

Students will choose the following subjects and remain connected as an ICCA group:

Sample Program: Core subjects are highligted

NB: The LIS English will be differentiated to the students suitability and provide for extension

Recommended VCE & VET  elective choices

Students who have the ability are encouraged to undertake one VCE and or VET study as part of their Year 10 program.

Your teachers will be able to advice on your suitability.

VCE and VET studies must be taken as a whole of year study and take up one of your electives choices in each semester.

Recommended subjects

Selection Process

We anticipate all current Year 9 LIS students will select the Year 10 LIS program. However they will be involved in an interview to determine their suitability to continue in the program. If any vacancies exist in the class, other students can apply. The selection process for new applicants will involve an application and interview.
