Creating Connections: Liverpool FC International Academy Partnership

The Liverpool FC International Academy Program at Irene McCormack Catholic College uses sport as a catalyst for belonging, wellbeing and community engagement. Through curriculum learning, elective pathways, free Community Days and holiday camps, the program provides inclusive opportunities for young people to connect, participate and thrive. Guided by the values of Ambition, Integrity, Passion and Unity, students develop confidence, resilience, leadership and positive relationships while strengthening partnerships with families and the wider community. Since launching in 2025, the initiative has engaged hundreds of local families and fostered a welcoming, Christ-centred environment where every individual is valued, connected and supported.
