At Aspley
State School, we define Interschool Sport
as competitive opportunities for students
to represent the school in team sports, where teams are selected and managed by
school staff in their sole discretion.
Aims
Interschool Sport includes, but is not limited to:
Eligibility
The
eligibility of students to participate in Interschool
Sport is a school decision, informed by the processes and procedures of the
District Sport Committee.
Items
considered in the establishment and development of Interschool Sport programs include:
operational factors, including available
staff and specific expertise
available opportunities,
including the number of teams available, as determined by the District
Sport Committee
students’ selection of sports,
which may or may not require trialling for team selection
school history, traditions and
previous practises
With regards
to Interschool Sport activities, students in Year 5-7 are eligible to
participate irrespective of their age.
In extenuating
circumstances, an exemption may be sought from the Principal to seek players from younger year levels to participate in these programs,
provided they are age appropriate for the activity. This is the exception
rather than the rule and an exemption will only be considered once it is proven
that all other options have been explored.
