With former mentor Rod Patison recently retiring after 30+ years in charge, he carefully recruited and moulded coaches full of youth and experience to ensure PBC continues to have the most experienced coaching staff in QLD, if not the Nation.

Keegan Hipgrave Gold Coast Titans SPORT EXCELLENCE CURRICULUM

All students in the program will satisfy the curriculum requirements for their stage of schooling as determined by the Department of Education and the Board of Secondary School Studies. These students will also have access to well- structured developmental programs of sports coaching and training by highly qualified and experienced State Association and school staff.

State Sporting Associations and “parent” professional organisations play important roles within the sports excellence program. They are involved in the selection of sport excellence students and the development and delivery of the coaching and training program.

Training and specialised coaching programs are conducted in school time and may include sports related topics such as sports nutrition, physiology, competition preparation and psychology as well as tuition in time management, study skills and goal setting.

The Sports Excellence Program is compatible with both the OP and Non-OP strands of Senior Schooling 10, 11 and 12.

School-based traineeships are encouraged among Non-OP students. STUDENT OBLIGATIONS

Students will only retain their position in the program by continuing to meet the requirements of their chosen sport and their school subjects.

All students will be required to sign a contract outlining their responsibilities.

Progression from year level to year level in the program is not automatic.
