NSW COMBINED HIGH SCHOOLS SPORTS ASSOCIATION GIRLS FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS 4 - 6 JUNE 2019 KIRRAWEE Hosted by Sydney East Schools Sports Association in conjunction with the NSW Department of Education School Sport Unit Welcome from the NSW Department of Education I am delighted to welcome competitors, parents, caregivers, team and event officials and supporters to Kirrawee for the 2019 NSW Combined High Schools Sports Association Girls’ Football Championships. Our school sport programs are rich in tradition and your participation at this event acknowledges your part in this long history. School sport championships and carnivals, organised and conducted by our state and regional schools sports associations, showcase the enormous talent that is nurtured in our schools. These opportunities encourage competitors to participate in the spirit of friendship, fair play and respect for others. Students are here this week representing their schools, and schools sports associations. Many students will achieve a personal best and gain a greater understanding that participation in sport provides enjoyment, builds connections and develops lifelong skills, including team work, problem solving and decision making. On behalf of the NSW Department of Education, I would like to thank our host school sport association Hunter for their hospitality and event organisation. I also extend my thanks and appreciation to the parents, caregivers, teachers, principals and community sports organisations that have supported this championship. I would particularly like to acknowledge Teachers Mutual Bank for their ongoing support of our school sporting programs. I trust that all competitors will be rewarded through their own personal performances and that they will leave with fond memories of their participation in the NSW Combined High Schools Sports Association Girls’ Football Championships. I am certain that every individual effort will be recognised and greatly appreciated by schools and schools sports associations.

The students are here this week representing their School Sports Associations, Schools and families. It is an honour to gain representative status as an athlete and we look forward to the emerging performances of those who may emulate the careers of many of the current and former Matildas, Young Matildas and W-League players who have participated previously at these championships. From this championship the NSW Combined High Schools State teams to compete in the NSW All-Schools Tournament during June will be announced for fixtures against Combined Catholic Colleges and Combined Independent Schools. This event also serves as the trials for this year’s National Championships which will be held in Brisbane during September. We look forward to some wonderful football with the challenge for all teams to step up to the quality football we saw from last year’s champions, Sydney South West who narrowly accounted for Sydney North in the final. I would like to thank Sydney East Schools Sports Association for hosting the 2019 carnival. Our thanks are also extended to Football NSW who, along with Puma, are also great supporters and sponsors of our Football Program. Finally, may I wish all the 2019 regional football representatives from across NSW the very best of luck and again, enjoy your time and participation on the park and I look forward to the great “sportswomanship”, athleticism and quality football of this annual event. Have a great tournament.
