St James College is proud to be home to Brisbane’s first Liverpool Football Club International Academy (LFC IA), a partnership that provides students with the opportunity to train and play the Liverpool Way while completing their education in the heart of the city. In collaboration with LFC IA Australia, our program delivers the same world-class coaching curriculum and philosophy that is used to develop young players at the Liverpool FC Academy in the UK. Students are mentored by professional coaches who are directly connected to Liverpool FC staff, ensuring that every session focuses not just on technical skill but also on building game intelligence and character both on and off the pitch.

The Liverpool Way emphasises key elements of football development, including discipline, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence. Our students learn to play football with precision, creativity, and confidence, in a supportive environment that nurtures their individual growth. By integrating the world-renowned methodologies of Liverpool FC with the educational framework at St James College, we offer a unique opportunity for students to grow both as athletes and as individuals, preparing them for success on the field and in life

Students of the Academy will engage in Professional Development Programs and School Holiday Clinics and Community Days - The Liverpool Way. 

The Liverpool Way

Ambition – Dreams are there to be achieved. Nothing is impossible.

Commitment – Put your heart and soul into everything.

Dignity – Earn respect through honesty and integrity.

Unity – Work together to bring out the best in each other.

By living The Liverpool Way values, our players not only grow as footballers but also as confident young people ready to make an impact in life beyond school.

“At St James, our vision is to nurture confident young people who can achieve their dreams, on the field and in life. Partnering with Liverpool FC International Academy Australia brings a world-class football experience to Brisbane’s inner city – aligning with our college commitment to Global Learning, Achieving Aspirations and living out Jimmies Spirit, as so many before us have done.”
