School endorsement
Selection in a School Sport SA state team requires endorsement from the student’s school principal before confirming their place in the team. Therefore, parents are advised not to make any arrangements that incur costs until the school has confirmed that the student fulfils all requirements.
Training and championship expectations
All selected team members will be required to attend all team trainings and a team photo shoot.
Country team members travelling more than 2 hours can negotiate their commitment.
The selected student agrees to attend the competition for the full duration including the opening and closing ceremonies and the educational experience.
Accommodation, flights, and daily transport
If selected in a state team, a non-refundable flight booking fee applies. This amount will be included on the student’s itemised invoice.
Boys
Parents/caregivers who can accompany their child must book and manage their own accommodation, flights and daily transport for the entire championship.
Should this not be possible then the family will need to negotiate with School Sport SA to arrange appropriate flights, accommodation, meals and daily transport for their child which will be an additional cost. Negotiations must begin within 1 week of the team being announced.
Girls
All team members travel as a group to and from the championship and stay in group accommodation with team officials. All travel and accommodation arrangements are coordinated by School Sport SA. Parent/caregivers may negotiate independent travel arrangements for the return trip to Adelaide only.
Championship costs
An individual itemised account will be provided for every student selected in a School Sport SA state team.
Boys
The cost is estimated to be approximately $700 which includes levies to participate at the championship and any training costs.
Girls
The cost is estimated to be to be approximately $2800 for this championship. Flights, accommodation, transport, food, levies, and training costs will be included on the invoice.
Uniform ordering will be a separate online ordering process where payment is made directly to the supplier. Personal spending money will be an additional cost for families and will not appear on the invoice.
