Victorian Interschools Rule Review
  • However it is critical that all participants,
    parents and team managers are aware that while
    event organisers will use their best endeavours
    to ensure all participants can take part in any
    discipline, at times scheduling difficulties or
    clashes with other events, resulting from
    unforseen circumstances may prevent this.
  • Under these circumstances participants may have
    to make a choice between disciplines.

19
Victorian Interschools Rule Review
  • Where a participant has nominated for an overall
    individual achievement award they will not be
    able to change the award they have nominated for
    due to unforseen circumstances, weather, or
    injury which may prevent a child competing in a
    required event for the award.
  • Please make all your children and parents aware
    of this before the children nominate for an award.

20
Procedures for Medical Changes
  • Medical Changes will only be accepted for serious
    injuries and must be accompanied by a Medical
    Certificate
  • Medical certificates should be just that, not a
    serviette, or the back of scrap paper.
  • Medical changes must be lodged NO LATER THAN
    800am the day prior to the race The earlier
    the better!

21

    to check the DSQ boards at the end of each run.

  • 3. The Chief of Race will consider these protests
    and decide whether a Jury is necessary. In the
    event that a Jury is necessary, the Jury will

    Course and a third member appointed by the Chief
    of Race. Their decision will be final.

    include the opportunity for school groups and
    unaccompanied individuals to join the program.

    tailored for unaccompanied individuals (school
    years 8-10 only). The 2 week on-snow training
    camp will run from the 11th - 22nd January 2010
    and will be supervised at all times by Camp
    Directors who are Victorian Institute of Teaching
    registered and have snow sports experience. The
    Camp Directors will accompany and supervise
    participants from the moment they leave
    Australia right through till arriving home.

    caters for school groups who are accompanied by
    their own staff.

    Star and give your child or school snow sports
    team the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic
    overseas snow holiday and the added advantage an
    overseas Interschools specific training program
    can bring, leading into the 2010 Australian
