Complement your VCE Physical Education curriculum delivery with VU’s SARIP program

We are excited to share some upcoming program dates and information from our partner Victoria University! VU’s College of Sport & Exercise Science Sport and Recreation Industry Pathways (SARIP) programs are a suite of secondary school engagement activities and events that have been specifically designed to complement the delivery of VCE Physical Education curriculum and engage students in a way that provides deeper understanding and more in-depth learning.

Using the world class facilities at the Footscray Park campus, students and teachers are able to participate in conducting real world simulations, such as V02max testing, in disciplines including biomechanics and exercise physiology. The focus is on the active engagement of all students in collecting primary data and analysing the results.

About SARIP Program

VU is part of the Sport and Recreation Industry Pathway (SARIP) program, designed to support secondary school students to achieve their aspirations in sport. SARIP began as a partnership between VU’s College of Sport & Exercise Science and three local schools – Essendon Keilor College, Manor Lakes College and Maribyrnong College. It is now available to all secondary school students and their teachers.

The program delivers a quality sport based curriculum which supports students’ study in the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). It offers students with a passion for sport invaluable experience and industry links that provide a pathway to additional qualifications, tertiary study and workplace opportunities.

• Exposure to VU’s state-of-the-art sport and learning precinct
