Elite Athletes Program 2026 Applications are Now Open

The Elite Athlete Program at MacKillop Catholic College supports students competing at high levels of sport, recognising the significant time demands they face. Through flexible learning options, the program enables students to pursue both academic and sporting excellence.

Our program is modelled on how universities support student-athletes to excel in their given fields whilst maintaining high learning outcomes. At MacKillop, we believe that students who are participating in sports at an elite state and/or national level should be given flexibility in their studies to support their commitment to their sport and to their academic outcomes.

The Program at MacKillop offers:

· Flexible timetable considerations that enable the student-athlete access to learning whilst balancing rigorous training sessions;

· Flexible academic patterns of study to support robust learning outcomes;

· Careers pathways counselling specifically targeting scholarships, both nationally and internationally;

· Scholarship writing support to position their application for success and

· Profile development opportunities to enhance their portfolios.
