Several sports stars recently took time out of their busy schedules to visit St Paul's Anglican Grammar School and speak with High Performance Program (HPP) students during their annual HPP seminar day.
Organised by program co-ordinator Scott Armour, student-athletes in years seven to 12 across both St Paul's campuses were fortunate to hear from five presenters. T
hey were: Brad Crouch (AFL), Saraid Taylor (basketball and AFLW), Sophie Taylor (physiotherapist and Australian hockey player), Alex Chidiac (Matildas player) and Caitlin Parker (boxer and 2024 Olympic bronze medallist).
Students were eager to hear from each guest about their experiences in sport, and how they balanced their education with their early professional careers.
Each presenter made themselves available to students after their sessions for more questions and conversation, as well as posing for photos that the students will no doubt use for inspiration to develop into the best athletes they can be.
The HPP seminar day is a highlight that participating students look forward to each year, anticipating the insights, tips and tricks that are shared by sports professionals.
St Paul's High Performance Program assists student-athletes in supporting their sporting goals while maintaining a high level of academic achievement throughout their secondary schooling.
