The alignment aims to provide pathways for year 12 students who have an interest in the sports industry through their partnership with Swinburne University.

RISL regional education program manager Jess Harris said they were excited to have the school on board.

"We're doing this with a number of schools on the Victorian side and we're really excited to jump across to NSW and give Albury High this opportunity," Harris said.

"A strategic reason for selecting Albury High School as a partner is their reputation for success in the sporting area."

Albury High School principal Darryl Ward said the school was equally excited for the pathway opportunity.

"It's about making kids aware that there's a lot of great stuff locally for them to do," Ward said.

Limited spots remain in the RISL 2020 class, with open day on November 13.
