MSA understands that student-athletes may require absence from school at times due to sporting commitments. It is the student-athletes' responsibility to notify MSA and their teachers of any upcoming absence well in advance and submit a Notification of Absence Form to request your absence to be approved by MSA and College Staff.
For Maribyrnong Sports Academy Student Athletes who either make a State or National team, the school requires notification of this achievement so we can updates our records and celebrate the achievement with the rest of the school. Please download the form and fill it in with the details of the team made and hand it into Mr Holmes.
In the event that a student-athlete seeks a health professional external to the physiotherapists present at Maribyrnong Sports Academy, they are then required to take a Health Professional Report (HPR) to the appointment with the external provider. This report can then be returned to a Rehabilitation Coordinator who will then utilise that information to inform any Technical & Physical Preparation coaching staff of restrictions and recommendations for that student-athlete. This allows the staff at MSA to support the student-athlete effectively during the rehabilitation process and streamlines communication between all parties.
MSA recognises that some students will need specific support to achieve varying levels of academic and sporting balance to achieve success. Therefore, Flexible Learning Plans (FLPs) are available for high level student-athletes who may be extremely time poor. All applications will be considered by MSA & College staff and possible options will be negotiated with the student-athlete and their parents/carers as applicable.
