Liverpool Football Club International Academy

St Mary’s College and St Ursula’s College are proud to become the First LFC International Academy Australia High-Performance Schools in Queensland.

This expansion underscores a collaborative effort between St Mary’s College and St Ursula’s College to establish the first Liverpool FC Academy in Queensland. As the pioneering schools in Toowoomba, we will offer high-performance football programs delivered by Liverpool FC International Academy Australia in 2024.

The Vision for the new high-performance football program at St Mary’s College and St Ursula’s College is to use those combined resources to create an environment that mirrors the one experienced by players on a high-performance pathway in the UK.

This means not only a high quality and authentic LFC football program developing players technically, tactically and physically but also input into social and mental development, career pathways and life skills such as communication, teamwork and leadership.

"We are thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking collaboration with Liverpool FC International Academy Australia and the Australian College of Physical Education. This partnership will not only enrich the lives of our students but also provide a platform for aspiring young athletes in our community to pursue their passion for football." - Mr Brendan Stewart, St Mary’s College Toowoomba Principal.

LFC International Academy offers young fans around the world an opportunity to learn to play The Liverpool Way, developing participants both on and off the pitch. The Liverpool Way is a philosophy that runs throughout LFC and will be implemented into the St Mary’s College and St Ursula’s College high-performance football school program. It incorporates the four core values of the club, and these values permeate through everything that we do at the LFC International Academy. ‘The Liverpool Way’ is based on our four core family values:

• Ambition – Knowing that dreams are there to be achieved. Nothing is impossible
• Commitment – Put your heart and soul into everything – go that last mile to do things right
• Dignity – Earn respect through honesty and integrity
• Unity – Work together to bring the best out of each other
