• Queensland School Sport is mindful of the issues surrounding inappropriate photography of students participating at sporting events.

• Queensland School Sport is bound by the Queensland Department of Education, Training and the Arts duty of care and child protection policies.

• Queensland School Sport adheres to any regulations imposed by the management at all venues which are used for its events, including the photography of participants.

• Queensland School Sport believes that there needs to be a balance between the rights of parents and any concerns associated with the photography of students.

The taking of photographs is therefore permitted at Queensland School Sport events, with the following exceptions:

• Except where an event is held at a venue which prohibits such photography.

• Except for students who do not have parental consent for such photography.

The management of this policy is the responsibility of the event convenor in consultation with team officials and venue management.
