2025 programs
QRSS will work with State Sporting Organisations (SSO) to appoint mentors/educators for state championships and select student officials for state championships through their own registration process.
QRSS will work with the SSO's to ensure students have opportunities to be involved and continue to pursue their interest in officiating beyond the event.

Student Advisory Committee
Students who aspire to be leaders in sport have an opportunity to be a student member of the QRSS Student Advisory Committee, giving students a voice in matters within the representative sport pathway. They will work with the QRSS sport officers and sport executives within their chosen sport to:
- offer insight and student perspective
- develop skills to lead, communicate and collaborate regarding the organisation and management of sport.
Student Referee/Umpire programStudents 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. For some championships, referee/umpires are outsourced from sporting organisations.
To referee/umpire at the national championships, students are selected from the state championships (only 2 students are selected to attend the national championships).
