About School Sport Queensland:
The Queensland Representative School Sport program offers students with disability the opportunity to participate in an inclusive environment with their peers at a regional, state and national level. In the representative school sport program, multi-class events are currently provided in aquathon, cross country, swimming, and track and field. See queenslandschoolsport.education.qld.gov.au/sportsInformation/Documents/sports-offered.pdf for more information. It is important that students with disability are included in the school sport program. It is equally important that the pathways are clearly identified for participation at the school, district and regional level. |
