NSW Interschools School Coordinators Information Sheet School Coordinators Responsibilities Before the Event... Complete your school entries in the Interschools Online Entry System for each Championships. Make sure all competitors are entered in their correct team (if applicable), division and discipline and team managers are assigned to their events. You are allowed to assign a team manager for each team or individual entry. Team Managers are entitled to a discounted lift ticket on the day they are managing a team at the host resort if they are entered into the system correctly. School Coordinators can also be Team Managers. Every participant must complete an online Participant Waiver Form for the season before they are allowed to compete. School Coordinators are responsible for making sure all competitors complete a Waiver Form. The Online Entry System will indicate when a student completes their Waiver. School Coordinators are required to organise the school payment of the entry fees. Your Tax Invoice is generated in the Online Entry System once you have completed your entries. If you are entering 3 or more teams (teams of 2 or more competitors) for the school, you must supply one volunteer course official for every 3 teams you enter. School Coordinators must complete the volunteer registration form that indicates the volunteer names and where they would like to volunteer on. Volunteers must also complete an online volunteer waiver form. Please make sure all Volunteers have completed their Waivers before the event.
School Coordinators can be teachers, parents or another responsible adult.
Why do we need a school coordinator? NSW Interschools requires a school coordinator from each school that competes to be the contact between the school, competitors and the organisers.
