“Stuartholme School has proudly partnered with Fit Education for over a decade, with Fit Education delivering a diverse range of nationally accredited sport-related vocational certificates to our students. For the past six years, they have successfully run the Diploma of Sport program alongside Certificate II in Sport and Recreation or Certificate II in Coaching, providing valuable pathways into the fitness and sport industry to our years 11 and 12.
Fit Education has consistently demonstrated professionalism, flexibility, and a strong commitment to student success. Their team has gone above and beyond—supporting students who fall behind, adapting to the changing demands of the school calendar, and often facilitating real-world experiences such as student-led sports competitions and coaching opportunities beyond scheduled hours.
We especially value their alignment with our Sacred Heart Goals, supporting social justice initiatives through Students led activities such as inclusive sporting events, inviting young primary aged students with disability in our area to engage in sport and movement. Student feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing appreciations for the engaging, practical, and supportive learning environment Fit Education provides.
This partnership continues to enrich our curriculum and inspire our students, and we look forward to continuing this meaningful collaboration in the years to come”.
