Our vision
Pathways for excellence in representative school sport
Inspiring world-class opportunities for sporting success, engagement and wellbeing.
Governance model
Queensland Representative School Sport facilitates competitive pathways in 21 sports for students between the ages of 10–19 years. Students from affiliated schools across all sectors of education have the opportunity to compete at school, district, regional, state and national levels of competition. The Department of Education facilitates these events and school leaders and teachers plan and lead the different levels of competition across the state.
The representative school sport program is administered through decision-making entities across the Department of Education (DoE) and educational regions in Queensland.
Queensland Representative School Sport – Board
