Year 10
Sports Development Program
The Year 10 Sports Development Program is the foundation of senior secondary education at our College, providing a dynamic entry point into a pathway that continues through Years 11 and 12.
It combines education with sport, industry engagement, and real-world experiences, using an applied learning approach where sport is the vehicle for learning—keeping students engaged while building confidence, independence, and direction.
Students work closely with leading sporting organisations across the Territory, gaining hands-on experience through coaching, event support, primary school engagement programs, and community clinics. Alongside staff, they contribute to major events and deliver sessions in real-world environments, applying their learning in meaningful and practical ways.
Throughout Year 10, students work towards VET qualifications, as well as coaching and umpiring certifications alongside their NTCET. These experiences build transferable skills such as leadership, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, preparing students for a wide range of post-school pathways.

How Learning Works
Learning is active, applied, and connected to the world beyond school. Year 10 is structured to provide consistency, support, and real-world application.
Students develop essential capabilities such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and independence through a combination of classroom learning and practical experiences, using sport and industry as the context for learning.
What you’ll see:
- One teacher supports each class
- Structured weekly learning model
- Learning across classroom, industry, and community settings
- Ongoing mentoring and support
Each class is supported by a dedicated teacher who works closely with students across all areas of learning. This allows for strong relationships, personalised support, and ongoing understanding of each student’s progress and goals.
Students learn through a balanced weekly structure:
- Classroom-based NTCET & VET learning sessions
- One day of work experience
- One day of community program delivery
- Time dedicated to VET and skill development outside the classroom
This structure builds routine, independence, and workplace readiness.
Learning takes place in a range of environments including sporting facilities, community settings, and industry workplaces. Students apply their learning in real contexts, building adaptability and confidence.
Each student develops a personalised plan through the College's MyPLAN systerm to track goals, experiences, and progress. Regular check-ins support reflection, growth, and ownership of their learning pathway.
Students are supported by both their teacher and a dedicated support team, ensuring academic, wellbeing, and engagement needs are met throughout the year.
What Students Experience
Students actively apply their learning through sport, community, and industry-based experiences.
What you’ll experience:
- Weekly work experience
- Community sport programs
- Industry engagement
- Coaching and event delivery
Students plan and deliver sport and activity clinics, particularly in primary school settings, as part of their NTCET and VET subjects. These experiences build leadership, communication, teamwork, and confidence in real-world contexts while allowing students to make a meaningful contribution to local schools and community programs.
Students work alongside sporting organisations and our industry partners across the Territory. They gain exposure to professional environments through event support, coaching and work experience opportunities, and hands-on involvement in real industry settings.
Students complete structured work experience one day per week, allowing them to explore career pathways, develop workplace skills, and build industry connections.
Students also participate in camps, competitions, and leadership programs that build resilience, connection, and personal growth.
Students develop industry skills through coaching and officiating courses, first aid training, and VET qualifications linked to sport and recreation.
