AN INTRODUCTION TO SPORT AT GLENNIE
CLUB G

replaced Wednesday afternoon interschool sports. Club G sports are played

SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVE SPORT
Co-ordinated by the Darling Downs Sports Association, these sports can lead
to higher honours where Glennie girls can be selected into Toowoomba District
teams, then into Darling Downs Regional teams and eventually Queensland and
even Australian representative teams.
Most of these sports are completed within the first semester of the school year.
Selection trials mainly take place after school. Girls are informed about these
trials through the Sports section of the Glennie Portal and morning notices
throughout the year. Girls are required to nominate and often have to meet
selection criteria.
