The Golf Program at Kinross College
The Kinross College Golf Program offers students a unique opportunity to develop their golfing ability while maintaining strong academic outcomes.

The Golf Program at Kinross College continues to grow, with future plans including:
- Expanded facilities and practice areas
- Increased competition and inter-school opportunities
- Stronger links with primary schools and the local community
- Golf events, camps and family engagement opportunities
This long-term vision ensures the program remains sustainable, innovative and responsive to student needs.
What's offered through the Golf Program at Kinross College:
The Kinross College Golf Program provides an engaging and progressive pathway for students with an interest in golf. Delivered through curriculum, extra-curricular opportunities and academy-style development, the program supports both on and off the course.
Students benefit from:
- Structured golf coaching and skill development
- Opportunities within Physical Education and extra-curricular programs
- Access to golf-specific learning in fitness, strategy and game management
- A strong focus on character, commitment and sportsmanship.
Participation in golf has proven benefits for concentration, mental performance and problem-solving skills, supporting learning across a wide range of academic subjects.
The Kinross College Golf Program offers a distinct sporting pathway within the northern suburbs, providing consistency, progression and connection beyond one-off experiences.
Unlike short-term or isolated golf opportunities, this program is designed to grow with students as they move through the College, offering:
- Ongoing skill development from beginner to advanced levels
- Strong links between school, home and the local golf community
- Opportunities to represent the College in competitions and events
This pathway-based approach supports both student engagement and long-term development, setting Kinross College apart as a school that values innovative and meaningful sporting opportunities.
The program is delivered by a combination of qualified teachers and PGA professionals. Through partnerships with local golf clubs and organisations across the northern suburbs, students gain access to authentic learning environments and facilities.
These partnerships aim to support:
- Coaching sessions both on-site and at local golf courses
- Access to driving ranges, practice facilities and on-course play
- Pathways into coaching qualifications and club-based opportunities.
As the program grows, Kinross College is committed to improving our on-site golf facilities to further enhance student learning and training opportunities.
The Kinross College Golf Program currently supports our Year 9 students with aspirations both within and beyond the game. In 2027, we aim to offer this to our Year 8, Year 9, and Year 10 students as an elective.
Possible pathways include:
- PGA professional and community golf coaching
- Golf operations and facilities management
- Elite player development and competition pathways
- Volunteering and work experience within golf clubs
- TAFE and University sport, business and coaching programs
- Domestic and overseas scholarship opportunities
Students are expected to demonstrate commitment, a strong work ethic and positive behaviour, with academic success remaining a key priority throughout their involvement in the program.
Golf naturally promotes integrity, respect, self-management and accountability. Students are expected to uphold these standards in all aspects of the program, both at school and in the wider community.
The Kinross College Golf Program encourages students to develop not only as golfers, but as confident, respectful and motivated young people.
