St Paul's High Performance Program

Wishing former High Performance Program athletes, Aoife and Maeve, the best of luck at the 2026 Commonwealth Games. An incredible achievement.

Our first evening seminar was a resounding success with nearly 40 student athletes and their parents joining us to hear from Sophie & Alex from Game Nutrition. The focus of the evening was ‘Game Day Eating’ and the chat was abuzz with questions and comments with everyone taking away some top tips for fueling for performance and recovery.

It was great to see so many come along to listen to Australian Heptathlete Taneille Crase on June 3 at WSS and June 19 at TSS. Taneille’s presentation was fabulous and her parting sentiment “the setbacks taught me more than the victories ever did” was a timely reminder that sport teaches us resilience, discipline and perspective.

Congratulations to former ESP student Aoife Coughlan who is now ranked number one in the world!!!
Great work, Aoife!

Exciting times ahead for former Elite Sports Performer student Dallas Loughridge - best of luck, Dallas!

✈️ College bound.

After a break through WNBL season, Dallas Loughridge will depart Adelaide Lightning to pursue a collegiate opportunity in the United States.

The reigning WNBL Breakout Player of the Year leaves with our full support as she takes the next step in her basketball journey.

Go get it Dal 🇺🇸

In May, Charlie (Year 7) set a new world record for his age after running an astounding 60.39km in the Front Yard Ultra – well done Charlie on an amazing effort!

It was fabulous to welcome alumni Tom Stockdale on May 11. Tom shared his inspirational journey from doing work experience with a local trainer through a 7 year apprenticeship with Racing Victoria to his winning riding on ‘Unit 5’ in the Gold Coast Magic Millions. His advice to students included ‘to have a why?’ and a reminder that if you put in the work and are dedicated, you can be good enough.

On April 24, we welcomed back representatives from the Richmond Institute to talk about their dual Diploma of Sport & Diploma of Leadership and Management. Olivia and Keeley (alumni currently working as a ‘Student Success Officer’) explained the application process and the benefits to be gained from their nationally recognised qualifications.

Congratulations to Ky (Year 10) who represented VIC Country in Melbourne on Kings Birthday weekend and will also play at the AFL National Championships on the Gold Coast in July. A huge achievement for Ky playing at the highest level available for his age in Australia, and a testament to his hard work, commitment and dedication.

Congratulations to Tianjah M (Year 10), Stella K and Amy B (Year 12) for being selected to represent Gippsland Power. We wish them all the best of luck in the upcoming season.
