The success of our Interschools events relies heavily on the dedication of volunteer officials. On a typical Interschools event day, up to 50-course officials are required to keep the events safe and fair for participants. 

For every 8 entries that a school enters, one volunteer course official is required.

How to Volunteer

Let your school coordinator know if you are available to volunteer as they will need to register you as course officials when they complete the school entries.

Ideal for school coordinators, officials, and coaches, the course also provides valuable insights into the structure and management of the Interschools Championships.

Through engaging videos and comprehension quizzes, this 50-minute course covers key topics including:
