Your choice of Gym Induction Sessions are as follows:

1. General Gym Induction This session is a 10 -15mins general walk through of the gym, explanation of the rules and instructions

for the most commonly used machines and weights.

2. In depth Gym Induction This session is a more in depth personal walk through of the gym. The trainer will

provide a detailed explanation about the equipment, safety instructions of how to use the equipment. The Trainer will demonstrate how to use the various pieces of equipment and you will need gym clothing and a towel in order to practice using the weight machines and cardio equipment and to also perform various exercises.

This induction can also include a basic fitness appraisal where you can be weighed, have your measurements taken and have the Trainer design a fitness program. This is optional.


Sport and Recreation Excursions Excursions are now included as a part of our Sport and Recreation courses and are also available to students studying

other courses ( a small cost to cover expenses may be required for non S&R students)

BUSHWALKING Students will visit the Venman Bushland National Park, which is 40 km south of Brisbane city. Venman Bushland has two sign-posted tracks to explore which are considered Class 3 (Gentle Slope) and winds through bushland for 2.5km. While we are there, we also visit the Daisy Hill Koala Centre which features a large outdoor koala enclosure and many interactive displays. SURFING (Gold Coast Only*) Broadbeach Surf School teach students the skills and safety techniques of surfing. KAYAKING Cabbage Tree Creek, also located at Frank Doyle Park and Currumbin Creek are also popular destinations for kayaking. Students have the option to kayak in a double or single kayak through the creek. FISHING Students will visit Frank Doyle Park which is located in the suburb of Shorncliffe, Brisbane or Currumbin Creek on the Gold Coast. The small jetty is a popular destination for fishing especially on the change of the tides. Students are provided with all the necessary fishing equipment. STAND UP PADDLE BOADRING (Gold Coast Only*) Students can go stand up paddle boarding at Currumbin Creek on the Gold Coast. It’s a fun water activity that helps improve balance and co-ordination. All students are shown how to paddle board before entering the water. ROCK CLIMBING At Kindilan Outdoor Education Centre in Redland Bay, students will have the opportunity to complete two rock climbing routes on a 12m abseil tower, with for different levels of challenge. This activity is a great physical challenge for participants to step outside of their comfort zone and set a goal for themselves. ABSEILING Abeiling is also completed at Kindilan! Students are taught to abseil on 6m, 12m and 18m platforms. Abseiler’s are controlled by a safety rope. Abseiling pushes participants to step outside of their comfort zone and is a rewarding experience. LOW ROPES Cables, logs and ropes run throughout the trees at Kindilan for participants to challenge themselves in different ways, approximately 40cm off the ground. This activity requires build-up of trust through trust exercises, as participants are not wearing harnesses and keep each other safe through 'spotting'. Visit our Facebook Page to see students enjoying themselves at multiple excursions!

*If an activity is not available from your campus please speak to administration to find out how you can attend. Students

studying courses other than Sport and Recreation may attend excursions for a set excursion fee.

Welfare & Support Services Students can access support by simply asking any staff member. If the staff member cannot assist, they will refer you to the Director or a Manager who will endeavour to assist you in finding the most appropriate service for you. ENGLISH LANGUAGE SUPPORT: Your course has Language entry requirements. You may be required to sit LLN assessment tests if you or the staff believes that you cannot cope with your course because of your English language ability. A meeting would then determine the best course of action. If your requirement is not as a result of a major shortfall in ability, you may be required to get English support (or you may choose it). If this is the case, we offer English Language support in tutorial sessions, or special sessions. Ask your trainer or the Campus Manager if you would like this assistance. ACADEMIC GUIDANCE: Should you require academic or career guidance, you may simply request this from any trainer, or the Campus Manager. Depending on the type of advice you require, we will arrange for you to meet with an appropriate member of staff, or the Director. Sometimes if we are concerned about your progress, we will initiate the meeting (See Progress Policy in your Handbook for more details). COUNSELLING & GUIDANCE SERVICES: Japanese, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Thai, French, Malay/Indonesian and Italian speaking counsellors/ guidance officers are available on request. You simply need to see staff to arrange an interview. The first hour is at the Academy's expense.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES: At least once a week there will be some type of game or activity organised where you can relax and get to know your fellow students in a social context. There are also cafes on all campuses where you can mix socially. Watch out for our Table Tennis competitions, volleyball games, and of course the end of year inter-campus sports and social event. For other information about social events not run by The Eagle Academy, ask a friendly staff member.

MEDICAL SERVICES: There are several medical practices within close proximity to all campuses. Please ask staff.

LIBRARY: Students can access the small Professional Libraries at each campus, and all campuses have arrangements with nearby Libraries that enable student membership.

WI-FI & E-MAIL: Students have access to the Internet via wi-fi in all campuses, and through the Academy's computers. Laptops will need to be booked out from the Office and rules apply to their use. A deposit may be required. GENERAL WELFARE: International Students should also read the sections covering home stay, and Australia, later in this book, to further assist them.
