High School Certificate
Chisholm Sports Academy allows senior secondary students to undertake a sports-focused VCE program that incorporates elite level basketball and football coaching supported by a strength and conditioning program.
The Rising Stars Program is tailored for emerging athletes with a passion for basketball and football looking for a career in the sports industry.
The VCE component of the program is delivered by VIT registered teachers and is the same qualification as at secondary school. The sporting component is delivered by ex-Olympic basketball and AFL level coaches and qualified exercise science staff.
Chisholm's Rising Star VCE students are fully supported to provide every opportunity to successfully progress with their academic and physical on field/court performance.
Students will also gain real world industry experience through Chisholm's network of partner organisations including AFL South East, PEAK, YMCA and other sporting associations. During their studies, the VCE Rising Stars students will be mentored by elite athletes and senior students studying Chisholm's Dual Diploma and Degree Sports Academy programs.
The program includes:
* Three mornings per week of elite level training and coaching sessions at the following venues:
o Casey Fields with quality AFL level coaches in partnership with the Melbourne Football Club and Casey Demons.
o Casey Stadium with former Olympic coach Brendan Joyce supported by assistant coaches
* Individual strength and conditioning program for physical development
* Full Chisholm Sports Academy uniform
* Support on determining pathways and US college eligibility.
