Message from the Executive Principal

As a former professional sports player and coach, I am passionate about presenting the same opportunities and supportive environment that I was blessed to receive, to every student at Arcadia. We are committed to ensuring that life long learning skills are developed by all of our Arcadians, and we know how much sport is valued and represented in our communities beyond school as our children grow into their adult life. Without a world class programme where children are nurtured and mentored professionally, this is difficult to achieve in a school setting, however, Arcadia’s talented cadre of international sportsmen and sportswomen are committed to giving each student the best level of focus and attention.

Message from the Director of Sports

Welcome to Arcadia Sport, where our aim is to GROW every student through purposeful, enjoyable and challenging sporting experiences. Our Sport Framework is built around four key areas: developing Game Skills to become a better player, building Resilience & Physical Development to become a better athlete, developing Ownership to become a better individual, and embracing We/The Badge to become a better teammate.

Through sport, we want every student to develop their skills, physical capabilities, confidence and resilience, while taking responsibility for their own growth and supporting those around them. Above all, we want our students to GROW themselves, GROW their team and GROW the badge, leaving a positive legacy within our school community.
