St Bernard’s College is thrilled to announce the launch of several sporting academies, designed to ignite passion, hone skills, and foster excellence among our students.

Essendon Football Club Academy

Partnership with Essendon Football Club

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Essendon Football Club Academy (EFCA) in 2025, a unique program designed for students in Years 11 and 12 who are passionate about football and wish to integrate their academic studies with elite sports training.

This two-year program allows entry at either Year 11 or Year 12 and features a specialised VCE curriculum that can be completed as either scored or non-scored in Year 12.

Students will complete four VCE subjects alongside the EFCA component. 

This program is a great new opportunity for our students wishing to pursue their passion for football while achieving academic excellence.

Golf Academy

Partnership with Northern Golf Club

Partnering with the esteemed Northern Golf Club, we offer interested students a tailored training program.

This program includes regular training sessions at the Northern Golf Club, where they receive expert guidance.

Under the leadership of golf teacher Greg McConnell, students passionate about golf can refine their skills and elevate their game.

For those intrigued by golf, this is an opportunity to learn from industry experts. 

Moreover, students gain access to professional facilities and top-notch equipment, enhancing their learning journey.

Whether they aspire to be the next golf champion or simply want to explore their passion, our academies empower them to thrive.

Nurturing students’ passions is essential for their holistic growth. These academies align with our commitment to creating well-rounded and successful young men. We eagerly anticipate witnessing our students flourish as they embrace their athletic pursuits.

Keep an eye out for updates on additional sporting academies we plan to launch in the future. The journey has just begun, and we’re excited to see our students soar!

Our academy programs provide a unique and immersive experience. Beyond skill development, students build confidence, teamwork abilities, and overall physical fitness.

Basketball Academy

Partnership with Melbourne United

The College introduced its Basketball Academy in 2025, offering students a unique opportunity to combine their academic studies with elite basketball training.

Through our partnership with Melbourne United, students in the Basketball Academy benefit from exclusive access and opportunities, including watching Melbourne United train, meeting some of the players, talking to the coaching staff, and having private on-court training sessions.

Additionally, students have the chance to participate in the FIBA 3v3 competition, which this year took them to compete against some of the best players at the state level.

Tennis Academy

Partnership with iTennis Coaching Academy

In 2025, the College will be joining forces with iTennis Coaching Academy to introduce our very own Tennis Academy.

This exciting partnership embodies our core values of excellence, dedication, and the cultivation of a genuine passion for sports.

Through this collaboration, we will integrate tennis training into our school hours, ensuring that students can actively participate and make the most of their time beyond the traditional school day.

Our tennis program is thoughtfully designed to nurture budding talent and ignite a lasting love for the game. 

We are eagerly anticipating the transformative impact that this program will have on our students.
