The Strength and Conditioning Department continued to run sessions throughout the school holidays to give students the opportunity to maintain their strength training and physical activity habits during the break. All Senior school students were invited to the Non-Sport-Specific S&C sessions held throughout December and January and we facilitated sport-specific squad sessions for Netball, Rugby, Swimming and Rowing both in the gym and some sessions off-site where students participated in a Spartan Challenge at Tallebudgera Creek and completed 12-Days-of-Christmas sessions.
After the New Year break, students were eager to get back into the gym with our first sessions kicking back off from the 6 of January.
Somerset College Sporting Excellence Programme (SEP)
Our 2025 Sporting Excellence Programme (SEP) Students participated in our First Workshop Day for 2025 on Wednesday 22 January. The day involved presentations from our external presenters who have been specifically chosen to provide SEP Students with engaging, practical and relevant information on the unique challenges our Students face as athletes. Workshop 1 included:
- Summer Dinegmense’s presentation on Nutrition – what is good food, fuelling for performance and hydration for performance.
- Sharyn Donaghy’s presentation focused on strategies for personal growth, stress management, and tailored support to help students juggle a high-performance sporting environment alongside academic commitments.
- Performance Testing Session 1 including baseline strength, power and flexibility testing
We look forward to Workshop 2, taking place in the Easter School Holidays!
