New South Wales Combined High Schools Sports Association Girls Football Championships 18 – 20 May 2021 Sefton Hosted by Sydney South West School Sport Association in conjunction with the NSW Department of Education School Sport Unit Welcome message from NSWCHSSA President Sport continues to play a significant role in building the Australian character and that of the youth of today, not only in Football but also in all the sports that the NSWCHSSA conducts. The Association endeavours to provide a wide range of sporting activities and opportunities for all students in our public high schools. For over 130 years, competition has been provided at a variety of levels by willing and dedicated teachers to help the pupils in our schools reach their potential at their selected sport. At this stage, I must thank all those principals, coaches, managers, parents, officials and participants who have strived so hard to make our championships successful. Much of this time is done on a voluntary basis and it is greatly appreciated. 2021 continues to pose numerous challenges and restrictions, despite this, it is wonderful to see our students back on the sporting field. I would like to thank all the Executive Officers for their efforts in getting NSWCHS sport back up and running, thankyou also to all parents and students as your understanding and compliance to the new normal is appreciated. Finally, I would ask all competitors to reflect on their achievement as reaching the NSWCHS level is an outstanding milestone and is not to be underestimated, well done. It is unlikely that you have got to this point on your own, so please take a moment to thank those around you who have supported you on this journey. Congratulations on reaching this elite level of competition and best of luck.

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 emergent performances of those who may emulate the careers of many of the current and former Matilda’s, Young Matilda’s 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. We look forward to some wonderful football with the challenge for all teams to step up to the quality football we saw from the 2019 champions, Sydney West who narrowly accounted for Hunter in the final. I would like to thank Sydney South West School Sport Association and the organising team for hosting the 2021 championships. Our thanks are also extended to Football NSW and their referees’ team, who along with Puma, are also great supporters and sponsors of our Football Program. Finally, may I wish all the 2021 association 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 excellent football displayed in this annual event. Have a great tournament.
