The fitness development program has been running on Monday and Wednesday lunch times throughout Term Four for students in Years 5 to 9. This programme gives the students the opportunity to develop their aerobic fitness in a fun and supportive environment.
The programme has been overseen by Somerset College staff Dr Annette Eastwood (Sports Physiologist), Mark Ladbrook (Athletics Coach) and Emma Sturges (Strength and Conditioning Coach), with Bond University Sports Science students assisting with the programme delivery.
