The aim of the Westburn Advanced Sports Programme (WASP) is to promote excellence in physical education, to encourage and to spread good practice within sport.
If your child is in Years 6-8 and has demonstrated (or has been identified as having) a high level of skill in their chosen sport, encourage them to apply for a position in this programme. Your child must be able to commit to a one hour, before school, session weekly. Applications open at the end of each year for the following year.
The tutors will cover both practical and theory-based learning around physical fitness and skill acquisition. The programme also includes theory-based sessions that focus on nutrition, physiology and designing fitness programmes.
Please be aware that this is an opt-in programme. The cost of running it is covered by a fee of $150.00 per child. This fee must be paid prior to beginning the course.
