Officiating is a cornerstone of school sport, influencing the quality and fairness of every competition. Yet, the challenges of ensuring consistency, availability, and reliability remain a shared concern for school sport managersโmirroring the experiences of those working across community sport. This morning, we were fortunate to be joined by a number of respected industry professionals who helped us unpack the barriers and challenges we face. More importantly, the conversation focused on practical ways we can work together to overcome these issues and ensure that students across our associations continue to enjoy a high-quality, rewarding sporting experience.
