Touch Football Excellence

RISE EVERY DAY STRONGER

Launch and Expansion​

Founded in 2007, the Touch Football ​Sport Excellence Program has grown from 12 Year 8 students to approximately 50 students across Years 7–12. Our program focuses on developing skilled athletes, fostering teamwork, and nurturing well-rounded individuals, both on and off the field.

Each week students undertake three touch football lessons. During these lessons they work on their strength in the gym, their skills on the oval and their knowledge in the classroom. They work on quickness with speed coaching professionals, they are provided with access to physiotherapy to help with recovery and injury prevention and they are exposed to discussion forums and digital workshops on diet, sleep, communication and self-esteem. They are also involved in a number of competitions each year including; interschool cluster days, the Gold Coast Championships, the South Queensland Championships and the All Schools State Championships.

Flag Football Induction – Officially Starting in 2025

Flag Football will be officially launched in 2025 as part of our program, expanding opportunities for students in both touch and flag football. This addition creates pathways for success in US scholarships and the 2028 LA Olympics. In 2024, we won the Under 16 Queensland Flag Football State Championship, showcasing our athletes’ potential in this growing sport. With students being selected into both the QLD and Australian Teams for 2025.

Flag Football builds on the transferable skills from touch football, including speed, agility, teamwork, and strategic play, enhancing students' overall athletic development.
