Shailer Park State High School offers a range of Academic, Cultural and Sporting Programs of Excellence (The Academies) that have been developed alongside strong industry and tertiary partnerships.
The Academies inspire, challenge and extend students with exceptional abilities, and strengthen their love of learning, in a specific field.
The Academies, including Nexus, Altum, Ignite Dance, Sting Futsal and Sting Volleyball, Basketball and Netball offer personalised learning approaches to reflect your student's needs. Whilst equipping students with essential skills and dispositions, The Academies provides authentic pathways to success in Senior Secondary schooling, post-secondary schooling and work.
Our values: Pursuit of Excellence, Teamwork and Collaboration, Integrity, Service and Legacy underpin the work of The Academies. Coupled with a focus on Opportunity and Empowerment, Academy students are nurtured by leading teaching and coaching teams to develop Big Plans and Bold Ambitions for a Bright Future.
Excellence in learning and life is at the heart of The Academies experience. As an Academy student, you will be involved in a range of challenging and rewarding learning experiences that will develop your capabilities, not only as a high performing individual within a chosen field, but as a future-ready and life-long learner. Coupled with elite teaching and mentoring, our enriching learning experiences will see you strive, not only toward individual improvement, but to work collaboratively with your team to achieve shared goals and contribute meaningfully to the wider community.
Entrance into one of our Sporting Academies is via a written application and a school-based trial. Successful students will then submit an Academy Agreement in order to accept their position.
