Specialist Programme Co-curricular Activities provide an opportunity for students to further develop their skills in a sport they are currently excelling in. Invitation to join a Specialist Programme is based on the following criteria:

1. Are presently in Years 10, 11 or 12.
2. Currently excel at an elite level in either Basketball, Cricket, Rugby, Soccer, Swimming or Track and Field.
3. Have previously demonstrated a commitment to train above and beyond that which is normally expected in their particular sport.
4. Would be able to cope with the demands of training at an elite level in their particular sport.

The Head Master can also nominate a student into a Specialist Programme Co-curricular Activity who may or may not fulfil the above criteria.

Students who accept an invitation to join a Specialist Programme Co-Curricular Activity, and choose to discontinue any of their current Co-curricular Activities, must first apply to the Director of Activities before they can begin their involvement in the Specialist Programme. Application forms are available through the Director of Activities’ Office.
