In addition to our wide array of extra-curricular opportunities, Nazareth offer specialist academies that span various learning areas, including sports and the arts.
Nazareth Academies focus on developing athletic or artistic potential towards the elite level whilst maintaining and supporting academic studies.
Students receive quality mentoring and feedback on their skill training, physical preparation, performance, and personal development. These programs are conducted by highly experienced and credentialed coaches in partnership with the relevant state organisations. Positions in specialist academies are limited; therefore, students are required to trial or audition to be considered.
In Years 7-10, we operate elite sports academies for Football (Soccer), Netball, Basketball, AFL and AFLW.
Our Academy Directors currently include Mr Cassio Oliveira (former Adelaide United player), Ms Alice Johnswood (Garville Netball Director), and Mr Alex Starling (NBL1 player).
Nazareth Academies have assisted our students in making state and national teams, achieving personal bests and winning championships. They have also provided pathways to employment and professional careers post-school, including the NBL and A-League soccer.
Academy programs also run in Years 7 and 9 for Dance, Music and Drama.
