Representative Sport The table below outlines the various trials for Toowoomba Range Zone and Darling Downs in 2020. • For Toowoomba Range Zone athletics, swimming and cross country, a team will be chosen to represent Downlands from students’ performances in HPE classes and inter-house carnivals. • Students wishing to nominate for individual sporting trials (e.g. touch) need to be 11 or 12 years of age and be of a high standard. If a student’s ability is unclear, a short internal trial at Downlands may have to take place to ascertain the student’s level of performance. There is a duty of care for all schools to only nominate students of a high standard. • Toowoomba Range sporting trials generally take place after school • Darling Downs trials are normally all-day events starting at approximately 9.00am and at times take place outside of Toowoomba. • Parents are responsible for transporting day students to the trials. Transport for Boarders will be arranged by the College.
