District High Schools Country Week is available to all
Country District High Schools in Western Australia.
Participation is open to students who are under 16 years
of age and in year 10 in the year of competition. The inaugural carnival was
held in 1999 with 16 schools participating. This number has increased to 39
schools in 2008. District High School Country Week will celebrate the
eleventh
year of competition this year.
With the success of the previous carnival it
is hoped that more
schools will make the decision to participate in 2009. Schools compete in Mixed
Hockey, Basketball, Mixed Soccer, Football, Mixed
Volleyball, Netball and Badminton. Also included are clinics
and exhibition matches in some of the sports.
Cost
Schools will be invoiced for a $110 nomination fee following
their initial nomination and to be forwarded prior to the event. The
nomination fee is non refundable. A levy per sport will be
applied. This will be advised at the event and invoiced
post event. It is
recommended that a figure of $20 per student is budgeted for to cover the
sport levy.
How do I get involved?
Initial nominations are
requested no later than Friday 12 June. All schools can access the Sport Nomination
Form on the SSWA website. A link is located at the top of this page.
Where can I get more information?
On receipt of all nominations, bulletins and fixtures will be posted on
the SSWA website. Please keep a regular check as frequent amendments may
be made. We understand that
sometimes there may be team changes which are impossible to avoid, however, we do urge you to
keep changes to the minimum so fixturing and planning can be accurate.
