Flinders University and St Peter’s College are offering an Industry PhD Scholarship to undertake innovative research into the effect of integrated Athletic Development programs on the physical development of school-aged students.
The College of Education, Psychology and Social Work and St Peter’s College, are collaborating on this research project to investigate the effect of Athletic Development programs on the physical literacy of St Peter’s College students as compared to students who do not participate in such programs. Bringing significant industry experience to the project, St Peter’s College has an unwavering commitment to the education of boys and our vision is to be an exceptional community of learning. Our values of Truth, Respect and Service are a strong and constant part of school life. Today, and for more than 170 years, our most important work is shaping the character of the boys and young men at Saints – developing a sense of service, courage, commitment, and integrity. An integral component to this learning is the inclusion of athletic development programs within the school’s curriculum. This is reflected in a graduated approach to athletic development across the students’ schooling journey. Flinders University is also committed to the development of athletic development programs for physical and personal development in school and sports settings and has complimentary research strengths in the field of Sport and Exercise Science through the Sport, Health, Activity, Performance and Exercise Research Centre (SHAPE) to support this exciting Industry PhD opportunity. Together we are seeking innovative solutions to this challenging area of research through this PhD project.
