Year 11 Program
The first year of the Sport Development Program (SDP) at KTTC combines a well-rounded understanding of the fields of sport and outdoor recreation through various certificates, industry experience and a paid traineeship.
About the Program
The Sport Development Program operates Monday to Thursday from 8:30am to 3:00pm and Friday from 8:00am to 12:00pm. The weekly timetable combines practical, off-site coaching experience with classroom-based learning, including the Certificate II Outdoor Recreation, Certificate III Fitness and core academic subjects.
The Year 11 class will have their own teacher, employed by King's, to oversee all aspects of the students' learning journey, including program deliverables, fostering King's culture and supervision.
