Tuggerah Lakes Learning Community: Talent Development in Sport
The Tuggerah Lakes Learning Community Talent Development in Sport program began in July 2017. The program aims to support those students who currently compete at a state, national or international level, or those students with the capacity to do so.
The outstanding sporting achievements of students from Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College Years 9-12 are celebrated annually at a dinner. Sporting achievements from state, national and international performances in athletics, rugby league, rugby union, rugby 7s, touch, Oztag, netball, figure skating, surfing, gymnastics, swimming, tenpin bowling, football, hockey, judo, triathlon and cricket are recognised.
The Entrance Lions support the Talent Development in Sport by awarding two $500 scholarships to TDS students who demonstrate exceptional potential in their sport.
To date, 35 students from Years 7-12 have entered the program and in the near future the program will be extended to students in Years 5 and 6.
