GREAT CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN SPORT

Chisholm Sports Academy Football Program

It’s not too late! Skills Try Outs on Wednesday, February 10

Careers in sport are often defined by that one special moment when it’s almost too late, that rare occasion when one act of determination or skill can change your own sporting landscape forever. And when it comes to great opportunities for a career in sport – the Skills Try-Out for the Chisholm Sports Academy Football Program is the ‘not too late’ moment that could change your career opportunities right now. This is the equivalent of a kick after the siren, the three-pointer on the buzzer, or the netball intercept in the last seconds of play – that big career moment that you will remember for a lifetime. But this memorable moment is so easy to make happen! Simply register by emailing sportsacademy@chisholm.edu.au and lock yourself in – obligation free – for the Skills Try-Out to take place at Casey Stadium on Wednesday, February 10. • Rising Stars VCE/VCAL Program • Sports Academy Dual Diploma • Sports Academy Fitness Program If you are passionate about playing football – and have the talent and drive to take that passion further – the Chisholm Sports Academy Football Program could be for you. This unique opportunity offers sport-specific training – three mornings a week from 9 to 11.30 am – under the expert tutelage of former Melbourne player and AFLW Assistant Coach Corey Maynard at the newly renovated football facilities at Casey Fields. In addition to these three 90-minute training sessions, student/athletes will also access a tailored strength and conditioning program and develop that important sport/life balance with academic programs that provide industry desired qualifications. – all run out of Chisholm’s modern Cranbourne Campus. The Chisholm Sports Academy Football Program allows you to complete your senior secondary VCE/ VCAL program, a Certificate III / IV in Fitness or a Dual Diploma in Sport Coaching and Development/Sport and Recreation Management for those seeking a career within the sports or fitness industries. So if you are looking to kick goals – both on and off the field – and reach your full potential, take the first steps in starting your sports career at Chisholm today. Alyssa Dorio is certainly glad she chose Chisholm as a pathway through to University. After not achieving her desired VCE results Alyssa was unsure of her future. “But I knew I still wanted to study,” Alyssa said, with Chisholm’s ‘no ATAR required’ message giving her confidence that enrolling for the Dual Diploma in Sport – and completing it in just 12 months - was a step in the right direction. “I knew I would find new opportunities via the diploma in the hopes of doing a Uni degree,” she said. Alyssa excelled academically at Chisholm, achieving high distinctions in most of her units and was a nominee for Vocational Student of the Year at the 2020 Chisholm Education Awards. She has gone on to follow her passion for sport and is currently studying a Bachelor of Physical Education and Sport Science at Victoria University with plans to study further. “I plan to complete my degree and then progress to a Masters of Teaching to be a qualified Health/Physical Education teacher,” she said. “I would love to teach in a secondary school and maybe one day become a leader or coordinator of the sporting department at a school.” Chisholm’s Dual Diploma teacher, Donna Stevens, believes TAFE pathways offer students a unique gateway to higher education. “The Dual Diploma qualification offers students the opportunity to follow a pathway into a university degree with guaranteed entry into Deakin University and options for credits at many other universities as well,” Stevens said. “Our students are well placed for success in higher education owing to the combination of theory and practical experiences gained in the classroom.” Remember - this could be the ‘not too late’ moment that could change your career opportunities right now. -ENDS-
