The Sports Academy continues to be one of the most vibrant and inspiring parts of our College community, with 396 students currently enrolled across 19 different programs. Whether it’s the fast-paced energy of football, the finesse of tennis, or the team spirit of netball and volleyball, our students are thriving in a diverse range of sports that cater to all interests and skill levels.
2025 has brought exciting new developments. Our partnership with Sparrows Volleyball has launched with incredible momentum, and students are loving the high-level training and camaraderie it brings. Athletics has also seen a major boost thanks to Rob Marks, whose expertise has elevated the quality and professionalism of the program. More and more students are eager to get involved, and it’s always a joy to walk around the College before or after hours and see so many smiling faces as they pursue their sporting passions.
Across all sports, our coaching team is second to none. From Leena Khamis, a former Matilda, to international athletes who play professionally in Australia and have chosen to work with us during their time here, our students are learning from some of the best in the business. Their dedication, passion, and mentorship are what make these programs truly exceptional.
Beyond the regular offerings, our holiday camps in football, dance, and volleyball continue to be a hit—giving students the chance to stay active, build friendships, and sharpen their skills during the break. Coming up in Week 9, we’re inviting families to join us for Open Week: a wonderful opportunity to watch your children in action, celebrate their progress, and connect with the wider school community.
A huge thank you to all our coaches for the energy and care they bring to their programs. And a special shoutout to Miss Tikeri, whose leadership of the Sports Academy is marked by grace, warmth, and a deep commitment to student growth. Her ability to bring people together and keep everything running smoothly is nothing short of remarkable. I also want to acknowledge Sonny Makko who has worked with us for many years and continues to be a great encouragement to our young athletes, as well as a great partner in running a quality program.
As we head into the final term of the year, we’re excited for what’s ahead, more milestones, more memories, and more moments of sporting brilliance.
