Based at Zillmere, the Northside Wizards TAFE at School Program promotes excellence by equipping senior high school basketball players with the right tools to pursue success in and outside the playing arena, while providing a clear pathway to employment in the sports industry.
Students enter the 2-year basketball coaching immersion program in year 10 or 11, attending 1-day a week during the school year while completing two qualifications, Certificate II in Sport Coaching and III in Sport Coaching (SIS20321/SIS3042) delivered by a specialised educator from TAFE Queensland (RTO 0275).
The program is fully contextualised around the sport of basketball and the class regularly transitions between the classroom and court to create an active and engaging learning environment. Upon completion, students will earn up to 8QCE credit points, contribute to their ATAR, qualify to work or volunteer in assistant coaching roles at local clubs and sports organisations and/or pathway into higher study.
TAFE Queensland Academy of Sport Manager, Jesse O’Hara said “This program based at the home of the Northside Wizards and creates a fully contextualised basketball coach education program for students in their final years of high school, building in two qualifications so that players get the benefit of an awesome education to support their QCE or ATAR, while learning in a highly engaging and active environment.”
This ideal is perfect for players who want to incorporate their passion for basketball and the sports industry into their final years of high school.
