Student Referee/Umpire program
Students have an opportunity to participate in the program at all state and national championships. Students will require certain levels of qualifications in order to be considered. Subsidies may be available for students to assist with transport and accommodation, however, own transport and accommodation will be required, along with principal approval to attend.
Information will be collated from the survey and parents will be contacted to seek appropriate approvals to attend state and national championships via QRSS or the State Sporting Organisation. QRSS will work with SSO's to ensure education and emtnoring are provided at events.
To referee/umpire at the national championships, students are selected from the state championships.
