Walloon State School’s Athlete Development Academy (ADA) is an exciting, initiative that commenced in 2023. This is a pathway program for athletes (like a school of excellence). The aim of the program is to engage children in learning through a multidisciplinary sport approach, by providing students who are passionate about sport and health. Students’ participation in ADA will have with opportunities to expand their skills across a range of sporting contexts.
The program will endeavour to:
•Encourage students to participate and represent Walloon State School at interschool, district, regional and state sporting events.
•Identify pathways for targeted students to participate and gain
selection in representative district, regional and state sporting teams
and competitions.
•Develop and maintain partnerships with the local and wider business,
government and sport community which support Walloon’s Athlete
Development Program.
•Develop students’ awareness and knowledge around good nutrition, health and wellbeing
You will notice the program motto reads Supra et Ultra which is Latin and means Above and Beyond. Our school mascot is Walter, an eagle, and we believe our students and staff always go Above and Beyond. For those identified students demonstrating sporting potential or prowess, Walloon’s Athlete Development Academy offer specialised coaching and individualised programmes enabling them to have the optimum opportunity to reach goals in their chosen sport or pathway as they move toward secondary school.
