In Exercise and Sports Science, our teachers organised an opportunity students to discover that they it is possible to work in professional sports without being a professional athlete.
Meeting via Zoom, the class met and heard from Bernadette Chehine, General Manager of People & Performance at Cricket NSW who opened them up to the world of possibilities of a career in professional sport, from Human Resources to Accounting to Physiotherapy to Marketing.
This is just one example of how our College is providing students with a variety of flexible and personalised pathways into a potential career.
We’d love a chance to show you how learning works for young people at Santa Sophia Catholic College. Read through our website or book a tour!
