LAURA Geitz and Kelly McKellar will be two sports stars at The Scots PGC College on November 7 for the second Deadly Sports Expo.

While Geitz is well known as the Australian Diamonds netball goal keeper from Allora, McKellar is an Australian softballer with an indigenous background who has played 95 games for Australia.

The event will attract 500 students in Years 5-7 from 10 Southern Downs schools.

The Deadly Sports Expo was originally planned for Warwick East State School but, due to a wet oval, was transferred to Scots PGC.

Warwick East State School has nominated 100 students for the expo. New hosts Scots PGC will have 80 participants and Warwick Central State School has nominated 23 indigenous students who will each bring a friend from a non-indigenous background.

Other schools involved are Warwick West, Glennie Heights, Killarney, Allora, Amiens, Stanthorpe and Freestone state schools.

Sports will be played on both Scots PGC ovals, as well as hard courts and the new covered sports stadium.

Police Citizens Youth Club Toowoomba indigenous sport and recreation officer Dusty Wilson said more than 100 participating students were indigenous.

Each student will be involved in five of the 20 sports on offer.

Development officers will be in town representing most sports, as well as former international rugby league player Mick DeVere, Reds rugby union winger Rod Davies, three-time Lions AFL premiership winner Darryl White, national volleyball representatives Selena Scoble and Will Thwaite and Australian triathlete representative Chris Weier.

While the expo has many traditional sports, it also includes indigenous games and indigenous art as well as skipping, fitness, surf lifesaving and a presentation from the Australian Sports Commission.

Spectators are welcome but will be required to sign in with host school, Scots PGC.
