ACCOUNTABILITY REGIONAL CALENDARS Regional Calendars were distributed to all schools via e-mail in August and placed on the School Sport Website. This has been well received & is seen as a positive step towards all information being sent via internet and webpage. Distribution lists were updated and maintained on the website - www.ddschoolsport.eq.edu.au
REGIONAL MEETINGS Darling Downs School Sport Board, Management Committee meetings were held in February, July & October 2013. The Darling Downs School Sport Management Committee was well attended and gave delegates an opportunity to participate fully. Attendance: Month Disability Management Board February 8 35 11 July - 32 12 October - 34 7
Attendance at the meetings saw a decrease in Management Committees during the year. The start for the Management Committee will be at 1.30 p.m. for 2014. It must be emphasized that delegates are to ensure that they are available to attend the three (3) meetings a year when they take on the role. The venue of the City Golf Club for Darling Downs School Sport Management Committee and Darling Heights State School Function Room for Board meetings were very suitable.
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY All nine (9) primary zones and three (3) secondary districts financial accounts are contained in state school accounts where the treasurer is located. These accounts are now audited as part of the school's internal audit. The Darling Downs School Sport Board account was audited in February by the Darling Downs & South West internal auditors. A very favourable report was presented to the Board. The Sport Board account will be audited each February.
TRS & ADMIN SUPPORT Education Queensland has made available funds to provide the R.S.O. with 10 hours per week AAEP ($15 907.80) & TRS funds of $ 141 500.85 to provide teacher release to attend regional trials. This increase was due to increase in teachers wages and not an increase of allocated days. With the possible reduction in TRS & Admin support the following will be continued in 2014: $ 5.00 regional trial levy $ 2.50 per student (primary) non government TRS levy $ 2.90 per student (secondary) non government TRS levy
ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT The 10 hours from Education Queensland is supplemented by 22.5 hours per week by the Sport Board for administration assistance to administer the program. The Darling Downs School Sport Board - Sport Support Officer A03 - was shared 0.6 and 0.6 between Glenis Cundell and Annette Hodge - both permanent employees of Education Queensland attached to the Sports Board. This proved very successful and will be continued in 2014. Casual Administration Officer – Tracey Robin - has worked 10 hours per week in 2013 (term time). Her role of packing uniforms and general office duties has been beneficial to this Office.
TRS The provision of TRS is a concern with no extra allocation days and ever increasing demand. TRS was provided on a one to one basis for Education Queensland employees. The continuation of a non-government primary schools TRS levy has proved successful. All schools contributed $2.20 per student Years 1-7. Non-government secondary schools TRS levy increased in 2013 to $2.70 per student proved successful. There will be an increase in 2013 to $2.50 per student Years 1-7; $2.90 per student Years 8-12.

STATE / NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
The region hosted the following championships during 2013:
STATE
• 10-12 Years Swimming Chandler • 15 Years AFL Dalby • 15 Years Basketball Toowoomba • 11 Years Rugby League Stanthorpe • 12 Years Rugby Union Goondiwindi • 11-19 Years Orienteering Toowoomba
The continued support from community sporting groups, Western Downs, Toowoomba Regional Council, Goondiwindi Region, Office of Sport & Recreation and Media outlets have raised the profile of school sport. The junior sport section of the Toowoomba Chronicle raises the community awareness of school sport.
Evidence of accountability is supplied in a number of ways including:
• Regional Convenors and Team Managers must produce a written report immediately after their carnival. • Convenors and Districts report to Primary & Secondary Management Committees which meet 3 times per year. • Districts and the Region produce and distribute Minutes of Meetings to all schools • The Regional Sport Board produces minutes of meetings and an Annual Report.
ROLE OF CHIEF SELECTORS
The role of chief selector who had no responsibility of a district/zone team was continued in 2013 in both the primary and secondary sports. This role was covered by the respective Regional Coach.
At regional trials, the convenor & team coach will be covered for TRS in 2014 to ensure the trial & team selection process run smoothly. If the regional coach and convenor are the same person then the regional manager will be covered for TRS so that two (2) teachers are available to conduct the trial.

Safe & Supportive Environment
The continuation of the Curriculum Area Risk Assessment forms for all sports from district, regional, state and national events have caused a dramatic increase in the number of risk assessments carried out by team officials. These have been completed by the due date.
Risk Assessment and CARA forms were completed by the regional convenor, coach and manager. These were approved and archived by the Regional Sports Officer for all sports.
The Sport Board Policies covering hydration, student and teacher behaviour, student protection, selection, travel, uniform and billeting were distributed to all regional officials, zones and districts.
All team officials attended a team official workshop in February/March. All aspects of their position were explained at the workshop. The handbooks, forms, policies were placed on the Darling Downs School Sport Website which the team officials accessed.
All teams are provided with a first aid kit, sunscreen & large insulated water container. All first aid kits were updated by Queensland Ambulance Service in February/July.
All team members are required to purchase a Darling Downs hat and water bottle as part of their requirements.
All team officials were required to have senior first aid and CPR. First aid courses and $100.00 per teacher were provided to ensure all officials were accredited.
External Senior First Aid officials attended all state/national championships hosted by the region as well as regional trials in australian football league, cross country, rugby league, rugby union, soccer, track & field and school knock out competitions.
Injuries reported on Education Queensland Accident Report Forms.
Secondary 14 Primary 4
Most injuries were soft tissue, rolled ankles and strains.
Code of Conduct was given to all students & teachers selected to represent the teachers and parents were made aware of their child's obligation.
The Board has a panel system in place to handle any grievances. The panel follows Education Queensland grievances procedures.
The Board continued the development of the process for selection panels to use when selecting team officials. This process was continued in 2013 and all reports have been favourable with the outcomes achieved in the selection process.
