Faculty Support and Professional Coaches Build Partnerships within the Community
Through our Branksome Hall Asia Co-Curricular Program, students have the opportunity to work with our faculty team and professional coaches across a range of sporting codes. They develop the four corners of sport (Fundamental Movement, Technical/Tactical, Game Understanding, PSME) through a disciplinary, transdisciplinary and interdiscplinary approach, whilst embracing the essential elements and IB learner profiles. Disciplinary when an athlete understands a given topic/problem/issue/event through one Discipline. Transdisciplinary - when athletes understand a given topic/problem/issue/event by moving through the four corners of sport (perhaps more than one at a time) without realizing it.

Interdisciplinary - when two or more disciplines are utilized to make connections to the learning. Athletes understand a given topic/problem/issue/event in terms of the four corners of sport.
A range of apps are implemented to track student performance through techncal, tactical, game and fitness analyisis which supports the delivery of the program
