Build a Sports Academy That Develops Better Athletes, Stronger Leaders and a Stronger School Culture
Healthy Teens helps schools create practical sports academy programs without overloading staff. We support planning, student standards, strength and conditioning, mentoring, testing and ongoing delivery so your school can build a program that improves performance, discipline, confidence and pride.
Trusted by schools across Melbourne to deliver practical student fitness, mentoring, wellbeing and leadership programs. Healthy Teens has worked with schools including Haileybury College, Lyndale SC, Cranbourne SC, Hillcrest SC, Cranbourne East SC, Westall SC and Rivercrest CC.
Is This What Your School Is Missing?
Many schools have talented student athletes, but no clear pathway to develop them properly. Some schools have gym spaces, but not enough staff capacity to run a structured program.
Others want sport to become a stronger part of school culture, behaviour, leadership and student pride.
Healthy Teens helps turn that gap into a practical sports academy model your school can actually run.

Start Small With a Pilot Group
Your school does not need to launch a full academy straight away.
Many schools begin with a small group of students, baseline testing, weekly training, mentoring and a simple end of program review.
This gives staff a practical way to test the model, see how students respond and decide whether the academy should grow.
A pilot can be built around your timetable, facilities, student needs and school goals.

What Schools Say About
Healthy Teens
“Paapa’s Healthy Teens programs resonated deeply with our middle school boys, fostering confidence, collaboration and resilience. Students who were initially hesitant became actively engaged”

What Students and Families Value
Healthy Teens brings together practical training, youth mentoring, school experience and a strong understanding of student wellbeing. Based on Healthy Teens student and family feedback.
Our programs are designed to be engaging, structured and easy for schools to implement. We understand that schools need more than a coach who can run a fitness session. They need someone who can connect with students, manage behaviour, communicate with staff and create a positive culture around training.
Healthy Teens supports students physically, mentally and emotionally, helping them become stronger athletes and stronger young people.
