Inequalities related to differences in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acara.edu.au\/reporting\/national-report-on-schooling-in-australia\">school funding<\/a>, infrastructure and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fpsyg.2021.667628\/full\">academic outcomes<\/a>\u00a0have been studied. Yet sporting success had remained largely unexamined.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, wealthier schools have advantages in terms of sporting infrastructure and equipment. And students from low-SES backgrounds are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12889-015-1796-0\">much less likely<\/a>\u00a0to undertake physical activity that requires indoor facilities, costly infrastructure or equipment, or access to water or snow.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, we looked at the least resource-intensive and highest-participation sporting event on the primary school calendar, the cross-country running carnival. In Tasmania all primary schools send their best runners to compete at their regional event, and potentially on to the state-wide competition. A school is placed on the combination of its three fastest runners\u2019 finishing times in each age and sex division.<\/p>\n<p>We had access to the results from the 55 government primary schools in the southern (greater Hobart) regional association, and 130 primary schools that took part in the state carnivals over ten years. We matched these data with each school\u2019s population, educational advantage and geography.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What did the study find?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>While there were some outliers in some years, overwhelmingly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/13573322.2022.2076666\">the study<\/a>\u00a0found the participation and success of schools depended on three factors: size, geographic region and educational advantage.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense that the larger schools did better than the smaller schools because they had more runners to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>What we found concerning was, regardless of size, there was a direct correlation between a school\u2019s relative educational advantage and its success in running carnivals. The richer they were, the faster they ran. This was true at both the regional and state carnivals.<\/p>\n<p>The state-wide event also enabled us to look at each school\u2019s success when compared to its geographic location. We found that geography, as well as educational advantage, determined participation rates. The more remote the school, the less often it sent runners to the state carnival.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What can be done about these disparities?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s deeply concerning that the socioeconomic status of schools has a direct impact on students\u2019 success in cross-country running, and that the school\u2019s location can determine their opportunities to participate.
