The Queensland School Sport Unit staff are pleased to present the 2013 Queensland Team Officials’ handbook. The handbook’s format has been designed to present information in a succinct manner. Further, the information is set out in a chronological order of essential tasks required. Subject headers create the time lines required for ensuring the continued success of our representative school sport programs. A checklist for team officials is contained on page 4. You will find this useful in ensuring that all tasks have been completed. The key elements to effective management of our state teams are preparation and organisation. The Queensland School Sport Unit is very much aware of the significant contribution of time volunteered by state team officials to our programs and the information contained within this handbook will help ensure you make the best use of the time available. It is essential that you, as a state team official engage in regular consultation with the Executive of your Sport Specific Committee and the Queensland School Sport Unit. Do not operate in isolation as most decisions regarding our state teams require consultation. Communication with the selected state team players, parents, schools, sport specific committee and the Queensland School Sport Unit is vital. A list of unit staff contact details is provided in the Appendix section (Form 1.0). Regular communication is essential if not mandatory for our state team officials. In the Appendix section of this handbook is a sample hard copy of all the forms required. These are available from the Queensland School Sport Unit upon request and are also available on the QSS website. www.learningplace.com.au/en/queenslandschoolsport The Reference section contains a list of vital links, DET and Queensland School Sport policy and procedures. It is your responsibility to fully understand DET policy and procedures, in particular Code of Conduct policy, Student Protection policy and Risk Management procedures. Please refer to page 14 for team officials’ responsibilities in regard to Risk Management. Knowledge of Queensland School Sport policy and procedures is also essential in fulfilling your duties. If in any doubt, you should contact a sports officer within the Queensland School Sport Unit. Once again congratulations on your appointment. Our school sport programs could not operate if not for your generous donation of time, effort, enthusiasm and professionalism. I wish you well for 2013.

The duties as recommended in the Action column are a suggested division of responsibilities. 2013 State Team Officials Handbook - Page 4 of 53 Prior to the State Championships There are four (4) major tasks to be performed prior to the state championships. The quality of preparation undertaken with these tasks will determine the standard of commitment and organisation from the players and parents. The better prepared you are the greater will be the level of confidence of the parents. The four major tasks to be performed prior to the State Championships are: Calculating the Player Levy Preparing the Information Bulletin and Student Packs Arranging sample uniforms for sizing Planning the Queensland Team Training Program (to be approved by sport committee executive) Calculating the Player Levy Calculating the player levy requires consultation with the Executive of the Sport Specific Committee and the Queensland School Sport Unit. Once that is determined and approved by the Sport Executive, also determine who will collect player levies (manager or treasurer). An excel spreadsheet (Appendix 2) has been developed to assist with this calculation. Information required to complete the calculation include: Host Championship levy SSA Administration levy $11 per person (GST inclusive) National Secretary Levy $11 per student (if School Sport Australia event) (GST inclusive) Cost of Airfare (check with QSS Unit) – Important: Check QSS Travel Policy – Reference QSS Competition Procedures Section 6.6 Airport transfers and daily transport costs International player levy ($11 per student, if applicable to sport) (GST inclusive) Education excursion cost for students and officials Accommodation and meal costs (if staying in team accommodation) Training costs and assembly costs Subsidies from Sport Specific Committee or Queensland School Sport Compulsory uniform costs – Important: Uniform Policy – Reference QSS 6.5 Preparing the Information Bulletin In preparing the Information Bulletin, consider what information parents will need to know when their child is travelling interstate. Regular bulletins should be distributed to players, parents, team officials, Sport Specific Committee executive and the Queensland School Sport Unit. A distribution list by email is the most efficient means of publication (use Departmental email, not personal email). However there may be some families who require an alternative format or language to accommodate specific needs. Suggested Format of Bulletin: Congratulations on your Queensland Team selection. Details of the team’s participation in the interstate/national championships are detailed below. Please carefully read the event and team information and respond as requested. Name of Championships Competition Dates Host State and Venue Venue Address Team Officials’ Details (include addresses and contact telephone numbers) Travel Arrangements (include dates and flight numbers, assembly time for departure and arrival time for the return trip; ensure you inform parents of the QSS Travel Policy regarding team travel) Student Accommodation (details of billeting, camp, other etc) Player Levy (include all items that are covered, including uniforms, travel ex Brisbane etc.) Payment Details (how payments can be made and where payment is to be sent). Training Program (if applicable, may attach separately) – dates, times and venue 2013 State Team Officials Handbook - Page 5 of 53 Team Officials’ Contact (address and telephone at the championship event) Team Uniforms (requirements and method of ordering) Optional Extras (such as the event souvenir shirt, supporter’s apparel, photograph etc) Codes of Conduct (team members' and parents/spectators) Student Commitment (participation in training and full duration of event) Return of Forms to be completed and returned (person and address) – may include birth certificate if applicable Due By Date (time lines when forms and payments are due) Important: Include as much detail in the 1st bulletin as possible – follow up with further bulletins as more information becomes available. Information to parents / players You are responsible for providing information to parents and students. The most efficient and effective method of achieving this is via the Sport specific page on the QSS website. www.learningplace.com.au/en/queenslandschoolsport You can up-load all forms onto the sport specific page and request parents/ players to download these documents, complete them and return these to you. To enable this to occur you will need to, Provide each parent/ player with an overview document listing the documents required and the timeline for their return. Make contact with your appointed sport specific webmaster so that the forms can be uploaded onto the site. If you have any concerns with this process please contact the Sport Officer within the Unit responsible for assisting your sport. Arranging sample uniforms for sizing The final major task in this section is the delivery arrangements of sample uniforms to the state championships. Sample uniforms (non-playing uniform) are available from the Queensland School Sport Unit in kit bags. These uniforms are available in a range of sizes that should cater for your team needs. The playing uniform is the responsibility of the Sport Specific Committee and discussions need to be conducted with the sport’s executive with regard to the style and costs. The availability of “try on” uniforms for sizing would be beneficial. Supporters’ apparel is available for parents and supporters. The mark-up on these items can be a source of extra income and/or team subsidy for your sports committee. Please discuss with the Queensland School Sport Unit regarding pamphlets that are available for distribution. Queensland Team Training The Queensland team training schedule should be considerate of the traveling / accommodation requirements and costs involved of all team members when requested to attend training. Team management need to ensure that all team members feel they are valued within the team structure. The team training schedule should be endorsed by the sport-specific committee and if the training session / camp are conducted prior to the official team assembly for the event then QSS Management Group approval is also necessary. This approval should be sought and received prior to this information being distributed to students at the state championships. Once endorsed, the training schedule should be submitted to your school principal in order to approve your participation and ensure your work cover requirements. A copy should also be sent to the Queensland School Sport Unit (Appendix Form 3.0). Please ensure that participation in the training camp is covered in the Risk Management documentation submitted to the Sport Unit Sports officer. Important: Queensland Team Preparation Policy – Reference QSS Competition Procedures 6.7 NOTE: Officials must be familiar with the forms (collated in the Appendix) and need to gather all necessary information to complete the player levy and information bulletin. This will require negotiation with the other team officials, sport specific committee executive and the Queensland School Sport Unit sport officer responsible for your sport. 2013 State Team Officials Handbook - Page 6 of 53 At the State Championships One of the first tasks upon your arrival at the venue for the state championships will be to secure a suitable location for the meeting with the selected Queensland players and their parents. The area should be large enough to cater for the team meeting and the “try on” of the team apparel. The location and time for this meeting should be conveyed to all state championship officials at the Championship pre event meeting. Keep in mind that some regional teams will have a short time line between the conclusion of the Closing Ceremony and their departure. The meeting with the team and players will provide the parents with a firsthand experience of your level of organization and management, so again be prepared and organized. The meeting should convey the following: Introductions of all team officials and their roles Location and dates of the National / Interstate event Expectations, especially the Codes of Conduct Work through the required forms A suggestion is to have one copy of the forms to show and refer to whilst speaking in addition to using a laptop to show the forms on the Sport Specific page on the QSS website. Explain the cost-break down, financial time lines and process for payments – reiterate NO PAY, NO PLAY. Travel and accommodation bookings Uniform try-on and the recording of sizes – have players try on all apparel, this is most important. It is advisable to have duplicate copies of the uniform order form – one for the student to keep and one to be retained by the manager for uniform ordering purposes. Don’t forget to have the team officials try on the apparel. The non-playing QSS team uniform is also available for viewing on the QSS website. Record the email addresses and personal contact details of both the players and parents. One method of achieving this is to have a laptop set up where team members complete their own individual details. Answer any questions or queries. NOTE: It is important that you use plain language and clear in all of your instructions when communicating with the players and their parents. Be prepared and organized, consider all likely scenarios prior to the meeting. 2013 State Team Officials Handbook - Page 7 of 53 Prior to Departure After the state championships, collate all emails from the parents and players and make a distribution list. Ensure that the privacy statement is included in all of your emails to players and their families – and use the BCC option to ensure that contact details of other players and their families are not inadvertently shared without permission. A quick email to the team immediately after the state championships will serve as a check on the email addresses provided and as well ensuring that all team members have your email address. Important: You should become familiar with and abide by the Code of Conduct for the Queensland Public Service. Further guidance is provided in the DET Standard of Practice. Section 1.5 of the Standard refers to Protecting students from harm and officials need to ensure they comply. The use of private or personal email, personal mobile phone, Face Book etc is provided. (see link in References). Use of social media for departmental promotion http://ppr.det.qld.gov.au/corp/commmark/Pages/Use-of-Social-Media-for-DepartmentalPromotion.aspx “You must not use internet social networks such as Facebook, Yammer, Twitter, Myspace or YouTube to contact or access present students enrolled in any school or institute”. The team officials need to confirm which team official will distribute the regular communication updates. One official distributing the information will reduce confusion and duplication of effort. In all communication it is desirable to include copies for your sport specific executive. In this section there are some critical time lines, these include: Important: Risk Assessment for all aspects of your Queensland team’s activity (training, travel and competition – refer to appendix 19 and risk management references (page 14) Completed forms from the players Notifying the player’s school principal regarding selection and includes a statement whether or not permission to publish the student’s name, image and school has been received. (Project Consent form – Principal’s Approval Form - Appendix 15 Uniform orders are required at least six (6) weeks prior to delivery – Appendices 16/17/18 Flight passenger lists (including Names and Date of Birth) are required to the Sports unit at least six (6) weeks prior to departure. Please use Appendix 22. National event hosts will publish organisation details of the event – see the National bulletins for deadlines for team lists, billet lists, arrival and departure times, transport and accommodation requirements and after completion please forward the requested documents to the Sports Unit. The Unit staff will forward these documents to the event host. Risk assessment documentation (including the training camp) is required to be completed and forwarded six (6) weeks prior to the QSS unit for approval. A full team list, player’s names and school are required by the Queensland School Sport Unit prior to departure – Appendix 22. Submit your claim for travelling allowances to your committee treasurer (suggest 2-3 weeks prior to departure) – Appendix 25 Transfer of Duties Form to be submitted to the QSS Unit Manager. Once student forms have been collected, these must be stored appropriately. This information must travel with the manager at all times. Do not pack this information with your check-in luggage. Some events require a copy of the player’s birth certificate or extract to be sighted by the manager. Check the conditions of your event. Most events require the QSS sport officer to counter-sign a summary sheet (Checking Sheet). This document must be taken to the national event and submitted at the pre event meeting – Appendix 22. Check with the treasurer of the sport specific committee to ensure that the team officials’ allowance has been processed – Appendix 25. Any other personal “out of pocket” expenses may be claimed. However, please note that receipts must be attached – Appendix 26. NOTE: Be vigilant with the receipt of information, keep all members aware of the time lines and follow up where necessary. 2013 State Team Officials Handbook - Page 8 of 53 At the event Team officials have a significant role in managing the safety, health and wellbeing for all players and officials. This responsibility is detailed in: Officials Code of Conduct and Responsibilities of Supervision Duty of Care and Student Protection Risk Management Player Management / Student Welfare Clearly defined roles of all team officials Officials Code of Conduct / Responsibilities of Supervision Team officials are expected to have a full understanding of the expectations contained in the QSS Officials’ Code of Conduct and Responsibilities of Supervision (QSS Competition Procedures sections 8.0 & 9.0). Duty of Care and Student Protection All teachers are expected to maintain vigilance in regard to their Duty of Care and Student Protection responsibilities. Being away with a school sporting team does not change the emphasis of these important areas. Student Protection policy applies to all employees. Members of teaching staff, principals and members of the administration team, specialist and support staff are required to be familiar with the Student Protection policy and must complete the online course and discussion module when newly employed to work in a school. All employees and volunteers are required to report any concerns they may have about a student direct to the principal. Every Queensland team official is required to be fully aware of the relevant policies and procedures detailed in the Department of Education, Training and Employment Policy and Procedures Register. This register provides officials with parameters to gauge the risk to students when they are engaged in the activity, and details the appropriate responsibilities and legislative requirements. Important: See website links in References (page 11).http://ppr.det.qld.gov.au/Pages/default.aspx Risk Management Prior to the commencement of the event, the event convenor should provide a risk assessment document for your consideration. Officials should evaluate the risk of the interstate / national / international venue in accordance with the Queensland School Sport risk management procedures outlined in this handbook (refer to page 14 – References). If there are risks identified, it is the responsibility of the team officials to take appropriate action to ensure the safety of staff and students. If a risk assessment is not provided then it is the team officials’ responsibility to ensure a written risk assessment has been completed. (QSS Representative Sports Event Convenor Risk assessment) Player Management Player management is giving consideration to the players’ health and well-being. Team officials need to be aware of how each player is coping in regard to the following: the rigours and stresses of competing daily equitable playing time being away from home in an unfamiliar environment impact of team dynamics on the individual management of personal health or medical issues supervision of players during non-competition times. Student Welfare Please refer to the following forms; Accident Form – Appendix 21 and Hydration Policy – QSS Competition Procedures Appendix 8.0 Team Officials’ Roles Team officials take on different roles when travelling with sporting teams, however, all officials are responsible for the Duty of Care of each student. When attending official functions, at least one of the team officials must have access to student paperwork and be able to offer support to any emergency that may arise. Officials are expected to attend all official functions conducted at the event. Attendance by all team officials may depend on the accommodation used at the event and supervision levels required. Results Results of the event are normally posted onto the host’s website, the SSA website (where applicable) and you can have them posted on the QSS website in the sport specific page. NOTE: The safety, health and wellbeing of each student are paramount. Ensure that each official clearly understands their role in assuring the Duty of Care of students. 2013 State Team Officials Handbook - Page 9 of 53 After the event For many students, this will be their first experience of state team participation. It should be an experience that they will remember and cherish for many years to come. Students and officials should enjoy a wonderful journey commencing from the players’ performance at the state championships, to being selected for Queensland, the build-up and preparation for the national / interstate event, competing at the event and then returning home. You do not want the last part to be an anti-climax. Winning certainly makes the whole state team experience more memorable, but in reality not all teams go home as champions. Ensure that you take necessary measures to ensure that the total experience is one to be fondly remembered – not just the “winning” or the “losing”. Therefore, an area that will require some thought is how to provide “closure” for the students and parents. Previously, officials have provided ‘closure’ in a variety of ways. These have included, a team meeting directly after the Closing Ceremony; providing team awards, farewells at the airport, presenting a pictorial album to each player, providing a “report card” to the players on their performance and suggestions in how they might improve. Team officials need to conduct an activity that will provide some form of “closure” for all team members. It is very important that this occurs. Final Report A final report (template located in the Appendix 27) needs to be completed. This document will help to identify areas that worked well, in addition to those where some rethinking needs to occur. The recommendations will help to assist the Queensland School Sport Unit, the sport specific committee and the future team officials in improving the program for our state teams. The report should be completed with collaboration of all team officials. Note: Your Sport Committee may require a more detailed report than the one-page format contained at appendix 27. Risk Management A requirement of Curriculum Risk Management is the need to monitor and review at the conclusion of the event. In most cases this will be very quickly completed with a few questions contained at the end of the Risk Management documents. In there are serious concerns, please discuss with a Sports Officer from the Queensland School Sport Unit. 2013 State Team Officials Handbook - Page 10 of 53 References: All Queensland Team Officials need to become familiar with the following DET and QSS policies and procedures in order to carry out your required duties as a Queensland Team Official.

The use of a personal or school mobile phone or camera to photograph students must be for official purposes only. Parental or custodial approval must be given for the publication of photographs of students. You must not use internet social networks such as Facebook, My Space or YouTube to contact or access present students enrolled in any school or institute. If you use internet social networks in your personal time you must ensure that the content is appropriate and private, and that you restrict access to specific people who are not students. 2013 State Team Officials Handbook - Page 12 of 53 H. Team Officials – Duty of Supervision (section 9.0 of QSS Competition Procedures) 9.1 At all times team officials must display exemplary conduct as a model for students. 9.2 When students are in the Team Officials’ care ensure they are supervised to a level that would satisfy a prudent parent/guardian. 9.3 When students are being billeted, team officials are to be responsible for the supervision of team members. It is the responsibility of the team officials to exercise duty of care until the appropriate time negotiated with the respective billets. There is an expectation that team officials will be responsible for the majority of the day. 9.4 If Team Officials are attending other functions or activities, at least one of the officials must at all times be available to attend to students in the case of an emergency. A phone contact is essential. 9.5 Ensure billeters and students have team officials’ telephone contact number. 9.6 When Team Officials are responsible for accommodation for students, e.g. Camp situation. Motels, etc., the following rules are to be adopted: Team officials are to supervise to such a level that a prudent parent would be completely satisfied, e.g. Dress, rowdy behaviour, mixed boy/girl activities. Sleeping arrangements should ensure that the girls are completely separate from the boys, and that teachers where possible are to situate themselves between the two groups. Teachers should ensure that all students are accounted for before retiring themselves. A supervision roster for team officials should be drawn up and adhered to. 9.7 When travelling, Team Officials should be situated in seating so that they can supervise their team. 9.8. All areas of QSS Codes of Conduct must be enforced, disseminated and explained by the team officials. Team officials should read the Code of Conduct to the students outlining clearly what their expected behaviour would be. 9.9 In any cases of student misconduct, i.e. a breach of the code of conduct, team officials are to refer to the Procedures for the Investigation and Recording of Misconduct. 9.10 All team management are to apply the principles of the Student Protection policy as contained in the Education Policy and Procedures Register Student Protection I. Procedures for the Investigation and Recording of Misconduct (Section 10.0 of QSS Comp Procedures) Queensland team officials should be aware of the duty of care, which is associated with the position and should adopt the following procedures in cases where the behaviour of a student team member contravenes the Code of Conduct and requires disciplinary action: 10.1 Identify the breach of the Code of Conduct. 10.2 Offending students and witnesses should be questioned immediately after the incident. Everyone should be questioned individually and not in a group situation. 10.3 A written record of the incident should be made. Alleged offenders, witnesses and team officials should be requested to provide a written record. 10.4 All records should be signed and dated by the contributor and countersigned by a team official.

Queensland School Sport - Risk Management This document summarises how curriculum risk management is to be undertaken by Queensland School Sport. These curriculum risk management processes are based on the requirements of Managing Risks in School Curriculum Activities– the DET procedure that outlines our responsibilities for curriculum risk management. http://ppr.det.qld.gov.au/education/management/Pages/Managing-Risks-in-School-Curriculum-Activities.aspx All staff (existing, newly appointed or temporary) who have responsibilities for planning and/or delivering curriculum activities should understand this procedure and adhere to these processes: 1. All curriculum activities should be considered in terms of their associated hazards and level of risk to students and others involved in the activity. 2. For all curriculum activities (regardless of assigned level of Risk) the following requirements exist in regard to Curriculum Risk Management: Team coaches must complete and submit a Curriculum Activity Risk Assessment (CARA) appropriate to their sport. These can be downloaded from the DET website (see link below). Team managers must submit a QSS Representative Sports Event Team Manager risk management template (Appendix 19). The convenor of a Queensland hosted interstate / national event is responsible for completing a QSS Representative Sports Event Convenor template (available from QSS unit). When you are competing interstate, the host centre should complete and publish a risk assessment checklist. If that is not provided prior to the event commencing, team officials will be required to complete the QSS Representative Sports Event Convenor template (Appendix 20). 3. These risk assessments MUST be completed and approved 1 (one) week prior to the state team’s assembly (training / competition). Send your completed Risk Management form to the relevant Sports Officer at the Queensland School Sport Unit. 4. These people have been delegated authority to approve CARA and Risk Management assessments for Queensland School Sport Teams: Name / Position Position Email Addresses Steven Murray Phil Muller Chris Bransdon Manager, QSS Unit Sports Officer, QSS Unit Sports Officer, QSS Unit steven.murray@dete.qld.gov.au phil.muller@dete.qld.gov.au christopher.bransdon@dete.qld.gov.au 5. The CARA / Risk Management template should be completed and submitted electronically (e.g. via email). 6. Once approved: a. A copy of the approved CARA / Risk Management template will be returned to the person who submitted it b. A copy of the approved document will be filed at the Queensland School Sport Unit with details of the document entered in a Risk Management Activity Register. 7. Activities are to be conducted in accordance with the approved CARA / Risk Management form, unless there is a sound reason for variation. Any significant variations should be discussed with the person who approved the form. 8. Once the approved activity has been undertaken, the Monitor and Review section of the CARA / Risk Management form is to be completed. Any significant issues should be brought to the attention of the person who approved the form.

This Consent Form authorises the Department and the State to use the Individual’s personal information and copyright material, together with information about the Individual’s participation in Departmental and State initiatives, for the purposes specified in the Project Details section of the Consent Form. This consent covers the entire or partial use of the Individual’s personal information and copyright material in conjunction with other words and images. For example, the Individual’s personal information and copyright material may appear in school or TAFE newsletters, magazines , websites and other school, TAFE, Departmental or State publications, as well as in television advertising, videos, brochures, forms, public relations displays, annual reports, press advertising, internal documents such as manuals, websites, certificates and strategic plans, and posters and other promotional material. There may also be occasions on which the Department may approve the media , such as local newspapers and television stations, using information and copyright material in relation to the Individual (for example, where the Individual is involved in dramatic or musical performances, sporting activities or award ceremonies). What is copyright material? An Individual’s copyright material may include written work (e.g. stories and poems), paintings, pictures, drawings, designs, photographs, videos, films, music, performance, recordings, computer programs, websites, sculptures, fashion, metal or wood works made by them or to which they contributed. In the case of students, it includes, but is not limited to, work that they create in the course of their studies during the time they are enrolled at a State school. These materials may form part of their academic assessm ent or be part of their studies generally and may attract copyright. The Department understands that students and volunteers generally own the intellectual property rights in the material they create and that this Consent Form is not meant to transfer the Individual’s ownership of the intellectual property in their copyright material. This Consent Form does not provide for copyright consent in relation to copyright works an Individual creates in the course of employment (whether or not the material is created in normal work hours or using departmental facilities or equipment). Where copyright material is created by a State employee while performing their duties under the terms of their employment, the Copyright is owned by the State as the employer (section 35 Copyright Act 1968). There are limited exceptions to this including, for example, where the copyright material is created by an employee pursuant to a prior agreement with the employer. Generally, the deciding factor is whether the employee is performing their official duties. In addition, section 176 of the Copyright Act 1968 applies where the work was created by or under the direction or control of the State. However, moral rights may still apply to copyright material created by an employee. The Queensland Public Sector Intellectual Property Guidelines provide further information on Intellectual Property. If as an employee you have any further queries about the ownership of the intellectual property in respect of the works you create you should contact the Legal & Administrative Law Branch. What is personal information? Personal Information includes information or opinions, whether true or not, about an Individual whose identity is apparent or can reasonably be ascertained from the information or opinion. This includes the Individual’s name, recording or image. It also includes the Individual’s educational information such as the Individual’s assessment and results, and health information and Court Orders provided to the Department, where such information may enable the Individual to be identified. What happens to the Consent Form once it is completed and signed? The Consent Form is retained by the Department and it will be placed on the Project file. The Individual or Signatory may request a copy of the signed form by contacting the person nominated in Section 7 of this Project Consent Form. What if I give my consent and later change my mind? The consent will be in effect until withdrawn as described in Section 3 of the form. The consent can be modified or withdrawn at any time by writing to the person nominated in Section 7 of this Project Consent Form. However, any changes will apply only from the date that the Department receives any consent withdrawal. Any existing material will not be withdrawn from use if the Department or the State is currently using the material or where the Department or the State has entered into contractual obligations in relation to this material. In such cases the withdrawal will be effective after the Department or the State’s use is complete or after the contractual obligations come to an end. Privacy Your consent to the recording, use and disclosure of the Individual’s personal information and Individual work is required in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 and Information Privacy Act 2009. Personal information will be stored securely. The Department will only disclose the Individual’s personal information in accordance with your consent, except where authorised or required by law. If you wish to access or correct any of the personal information on this form, or discuss how it has been dealt with, or if you have a concern or complaint about the way the Individual’s personal information has been collected, used, stored, or disclosed, please contact the relevant organisation, school or TAFE institute. 2013 State Team Officials Handbook - Page 30 of 53 10.0 Billet / Accommodation Request Form QUEENSLAND SCHOOL SPORT All Queensland team members need to complete either part A or Part B of this form Student Name: ____________________________________Qld Team: ___________________ School Sport events provide opportunities for students, not only in sport, but also in cultural and social terms.

A copy of the Billeting Guidelines for Host Families and Parents of Visiting Team Members is attached for your information. A copy of the Team Members' Code of Conduct is enclosed for your perusal. The standard of behaviour we expect from the students is high, and you, as the host family, have the authority to demand from students a standard that could be expected by any prudent parent. I would like to emphasize that these young people are, first and foremost, school students, and are not to consume alcohol under any circumstances. Queensland School Sport does not approve of the organization of any team functions, including parties, for groups of visiting students, except for those organized by the host centre. Should you have any concerns, however slight, regarding the behaviour or welfare of the student/s you are billeting, contact the team officials immediately. These approaches will be treated confidentially and immediate action will be taken to resolve the problem. If the host centre organisers do not provide transport to the playing venue each day, or if you are unable to provide transport, please contact the team officials in order that alternate arrangements can be made. Also ensure that the student has a copy of your name, address and telephone number with them when leaving your home at any time. I sincerely hope that these guidelines will help to make the billeting of the student an enjoyable experience, and may I once again thank you for your assistance.
