Developing skills on and off the sporting fields
We are passionate about sport at Westminster and offer many exciting avenues for students to explore their potential. As in any aspect of School life, individuals may demonstrate a range of capabilities, so we provide programs for high-performing athletes, those that aspire to play at an elite level and those whose focus is more on general fitness and enjoyment. Irrespective of the stream they are in, students will be provided with many options to develop their physical skills, mental resilience, and social awareness in a positive environment.
High Performance Sport Pathway
Westminster’s High Performance Sport program offers a broad and inclusive range of advanced development opportunities. Unlike many programs, most opportunities are open to all students, not just those already competing at an elite level. We recognise that every child develops at their own pace— some discover their strengths and passions early, while others take more time to grow and evolve.
The program runs alongside normal co-curricular sport for those motivated to take their sport to the next level. It provides access to elite coaches and specialised experiences rarely available outside professional environments. Students need to be committed to training and giving their best effort. While some programs are reserved for students already competing at the highest level, the majority encourage broad participation.
Beyond sport, the program also offers leadership development for senior students across sport, clubs and performing arts—building confidence, character and capability that extend well beyond the School years. Students can also benefit from education sessions on nutrition, psychology and wellbeing, access to elite performers and guest speakers, and individual mentoring tailored to their journey.
I am extremely proud of Westminster’s Co-Curricular program and how it works hand in hand with our comprehensive academic curriculum and Wellbeing programs. We want our students to be the best that they can be, both in and out of the classroom. Our range of programs is extensive and cater for both the very able and those just starting out. Every day at Westminster, you can see how our Development, Performance and High Performance programs, staff and students make the most of our wide-open spaces, beautiful grounds and outstanding resources to achieve personal and team goals. We encourage our students to participate in sport to the best of their ability. Through our commitment, we see individual lifelong skills and attributes develop to benefit each student’s wellbeing.
