There are some fees for registering and racing and parents/guardians are responsible for arranging accommodation, meals & tickets for the duration of the Championship which will be held at Perisher. Perisher has guaranteed tickets will be available for purchase by participants for the event dates.

Email Christina Grant (canddgrant@bigpond.com) to ask questions or register your interest. To register a team St Joseph’s will need 3 or more students for at least 1 event type (Alpine, ski or snowboard cross/moguls or cross-country). 

Parent Support

Organising and supporting our participants is a team effort so parents do need to get involved. Each age group will need a parent at the start gate to support them on their race day and depending on how many student participate - we may need to volunteer for other positions as well.

More Information

If enough students are interested I will organise an information night / Zoom meeting to share further details. You can also find more information on the Interschools website: www.interschools.com.au
