Collier Park Golf is a proud supporter of the Como Golf Academy

An initiative from Como Secondary College, the Como Golf Academy provides a comprehensive academic and golf program of the highest quality. Conveniently located adjacent to Collier Park Golf, the Como Golf Academy is dedicated to producing golfers that are highly skilled and who possess a strong academic background.

For students of the Academy, golf is the central option of study and is successfully incorporated into the student’s mainstream school program throughout their secondary education. This combination allows them to subsequently pursue either a rewarding golf career or career in recreational or physical education studies at University level. At the same time the program is flexible enough to accommodate more generic career aspirations. All students who successfully complete the golf program will receive a nationally recognised Certificate II & III in Sport & Recreation as well as a First Aid Certificate and can achieve a Community Golf Coaching accreditation from the Australian Coaching Council.

Students of the Academy have full use of the vast resources in the picturesque environment of Collier Park Golf, including using the extensive expertise of the Collier Park golf professionals, a specially designed par-3 hole, and access to the Collier Park Golf driving range, practice bunkers and practice putting greens.

Jordan McSkimming – Graduated 2013

‘The Como Golf Academy, as a specialist program, was a path that I considered with my parents as I wanted a direction that supported both my academic and golfing development during secondary school. I had grown up playing and practising golf at various courses but decided it was time to improve both my game and, indeed, my knowledge of golf. Golf was that direction, and it was, to date, the best decision I made with my young life to join the Como Golf Academy.

The Como Golf Academy had allowed me to better myself as a person and as a golfer through meeting so many driven, intelligent people that shared many interesting and great ideas.

The recourses and training provided by the coaches and mentors were highly impactful on the working professional I am today, in particularly my approach to everyday tasks and goals.

I am very grateful to the Como Golf Academy and the school for all that it gave me not just for my golf but for my personal development.’

 


 

Jordan Jung – Graduated 2020

‘The Como Golf Academy has given me great opportunities to improve in all areas of my game and strive for better results across state, national and international tournaments.

The program created a pathway for me to represent WA both at the Australian Schools Golf Championships and as a Golf WA Team member. I am grateful for the in-depth guidance and knowledge from some of the best coaches in WA.’
