Interschool Team Sport

As part of the 2004 election campaign, the State Government gave a commitment that all state schools with an enrolment over 300 students will offer interschool sport teams as part of the school sport program.

Outcomes:

The interschool sport program should enhance the physical activity component of the school's health and wellbeing curriculum program.
Schools implement a program that reflects the school and local community's needs and opportunities.
Each school sport district should develop a competition suitable to the district size, remoteness of member schools, staff resources and historical experience.

Resources

The following personnel and groups can provide assistance in developing school sport programs:

School Sport District Secretaries and committees
Regional School Sport Officers and the Regional School Sport Boards
Primary and Secondary Sport Specific committees
Queensland School Sport Unit
Regional Sport and Recreation Queensland Officers
Local community sporting club
