We wish to advise you of an important change to the consent and permissions process for school sport trials.
Capricornia School Sport has informed RGS that, following a statewide review by Queensland Representative School Sport, the current system of permissions and paperwork for sporting trials has been updated. As a result, a new set of paperwork must now be completed for each level a student progresses to (District → Regional → State). This change came into effect on 16 February 2026.
The School has been provided with a new consent booklet that replaces the previous format.
Rockhampton District School Sport (RDSS) has confirmed that:
Students who were selected to attend the Capricornia Trials or State Championships must submit the new booklet and would already have been contacted by RDSS/Capricornia Sport regarding the submission of the new booklet.
The RDSS nomination process remains unchanged. However, whereas the previous booklet travelled with a student through to Capricornia level, students attending Capricornia trials must now complete a separate booklet specific to that level.
1. District (RDSS) Trials
It is preferred that the nomination booklet be completed and signed electronically. The booklet is available below and via Parent Lounge and Student Café (Daily Notices).
For Secondary students, the completed booklet must be emailed to the RGS Sports Administration Office at [email protected] for school endorsement.
Once received, students will be added to the nomination list.
After signing, the endorsed booklet will be emailed back to students and parents.
A printed copy must be taken to the trial. Students will not be permitted to participate without this document.
2. Regional (Capricornia) Trials
Students progressing to Capricornia trials must complete a new trial booklet.
Instructions and the booklet will be provided within the team invitation letter issued by RDSS.
Once fully completed and signed by all required parties, families must email the booklet to the team manager.
3. State Championships
Capricornia School Sport will communicate directly with families of students selected for State Championships.
A new booklet must also be completed for this level.
If you have any questions regarding the updated process or require assistance with the forms, please contact the RGS Sports Administration Office.
