Future

The Cricket Program of Excellence intends to develop appropriate cricket units which can be offered at SACE level. Plans have been instigated to upgrade, re-develop and develop new resources and facilities which would enable a greater number and rate of participation in this game. Moreover, we are continually seeking to develop links with both the state and public sectors (intra-state, national and at international levels) to broaden the cricket opportunities of our students.
