Welcome from Women’s Track Cycling Champion ‐ Kaarle McCulloch

Track Cycling Olympian & Medallist World Championship Track Cyclist & Medallist Commonwealth Games Track Cyclist & Medallist Bowral Public School Bowral & Endeavour Sports High School

Welcome to the (name of Sport/Regional/State) Championships. I am honoured to have had the opportunity to represent Australia in my chosen sport of Cycling at Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games and World Championships.

I’m also grateful for the sporting opportunities afforded me through the NSW public education system. That’s where my journey started!

From participating in sport activities at the local level, I gradually progressed into competitive sporting events, including those offered by the NSW Primary Schools Sports Association (PSSA) and NSW Combined High Schools Sports Association (CHSSA).

Attending Bowral Public School, Bowral High School and Endeavour Sports High School, I was encouraged by many committed and supportive teachers. One of my fondest memories of school sport is winning the Australian All Schools Athletics Team event three times with my close friends from Endeavour Sports High School.

I played a range of sports, including Touch, Netball, Swimming, Cross Country, Athletics, Triathlon, Hockey and Soccer. Over time, I began to specialise more in Athletics. Despite having success on the track, by the time I had reached Year 12, a number of factors had drawn me toward the sport of Cycling. It became my passion and it has now taken me all around the world.

Sport provides a range of physical, social and other benefits. On top of that, if you work hard it can take you to places you might never have imagined. Sport is about having fun with team mates and enjoying training and playing. Enjoy your time at these (name of sport) Championships; meet and participate in the spirit of sport. Be respectful of officials, team mates, opponents and spectators. They are all an important part of your journey.

Just like I did, you are sure to meet new friends and hopefully one day you will look back at your time in school sport and appreciate it as a valuable part of your development. Good luck in your future sporting endeavours!

Editor’s Note: Kaarle McCulloch is one of the most multi‐talented sports people to have graduated from the nursery of NSW public school sport. Kaarle was the recipient of nine CHS medals across three sports (Triathlon, Athletics, Cross‐Country). Her achievements at a state, national and international level are outstanding and include:

* 3 World Championship Gold medals, 2 Silver and 1 Bronze (Team Sprint) * 4 Commonwealth Games 2 Gold medals, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze (Team Sprint, 500m Time Trial, Keirin and Sprint) * An Olympic Bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games (Team Sprint) NSW School Sport is extremely proud of Kaarle McCulloch!

WELCOME MESSAGE

From the NSW Department of Education

I am delighted to welcome competitors, parents, caregivers, team and event officials and supporters to Bathurst for the 2018 NSW Combined High Schools Sports Association Boys 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 and the NSW Combine High Schools Sports Association, I would like to thank our host school sport association Western 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 Boys Football Championships.

I am certain that every individual effort will be recognised and greatly appreciated by schools and schools sports associations.

Mark Scott Secretary, Department of Education

NSW CHS CONVENORS WELCOME

It is with great pleasure that I welcome all competitors, Department of Education representatives and visitors to Bathurst for the 2018 NSW Combined High Schools Football State Carnival.

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 performances of those who may emulate the careers of many of the current and former Socceroos, Young Socceroos and A‐League players who have participated 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 Inter‐State Series, which will be held at Football NSW during July/August.

We look forward to some wonderful football with the challenge for all teams to step up to the quality football we saw from last years champions, Sydney West who narrowly accounted for Sydney South West in the final.

I would like to thank Western Schools Sports Association for hosting the 2018 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 2018 regional football representatives from across NSW the very best of luck and again, enjoy your “time on the park” and I look forward to the great sportsmanship, athleticism and quality football of this annual event. Have a great tournament.

History of School Sport

Prior to the establishment of the competitive school sport program in 1889, (which was prior to the commencement of the modern Olympic Games in 1896), most schools conducted games, dancing, gymnastics and rhythmic movement programs for students.

Schools also implemented both internal sporting programs and arranged competitive matches against other local schools. Many country schools travelled long distances to ensure young people experienced the challenges, benefits and enjoyment provided by competitive sporting opportunities.

In 1889, the NSW Public Schools Amateur Athletic Association was formed by a group of dedicated teachers to co‐ ordinate school sport in NSW. For the first 25 years the one single event that took pride of place on the calendar was the Annual Sports Carnival which took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground and the Sydney Showground (formerly Agricultural Grounds and now Fox Studios) at Moore Park.

Crowds of 40,000 – 50,000 spectators would gather to watch 12,000 students participating in events that included sprinting, walking, sack races and throwing a cricket ball, along with military type drill competitions. From these humble beginnings school sport has evolved into the current program that is organised by the NSW Primary Schools Sports Association and the NSW Combined High Schools Sports Association. These organisations now offer over 60 state championships and 80 knockout competitions; involving over 300,000 students annually.

The timeline below reflects the place of school sport in the history of NSW and Australia and how public school sport graduates have progressed to represent their state and country in some of the major sporting events held globally over the past 130 years.

School Sport – For parents Welcome and thank you for attending these championships and supporting your child. Parents, caregivers, coaches, teachers and volunteers play a significant role in the motivation and development of young people.

Due to the regularity of contact and the influence parents and caregivers have as role models for young people, they particularly have an opportunity to shape the behaviours, enthusiasm and respect young people demonstrate in their sporting endeavours.

Please find below some suggestions that might enhance the enjoyment of all those involved in the school sporting pathway.

1. Enjoy the journey. ‐ Sport is a journey that provides physical, social and emotional benefits for children. Enjoyment and having fun with friends is their greatest reward. You also share in this enjoyment. 2. It’s better if the first question you ask your child is “did you enjoy it?” rather than “did you win?” ‐ Not every child is going to become a champion but every child has the opportunity to continue enjoying sport through coaching, managing or supporting. 3. Model good behaviours and never accept poor sportsmanship from your child or their coach. ‐ Children learn more by seeing than hearing, particularly from people they care about. No matter what the circumstances, be someone they can admire and respect. ‐ Parents aren’t judged on their child’s accomplishments, however parents are often held responsible for their child’s behaviour. 4. Your child’s results should not affect your mood. ‐ Never get upset after an event where results don’t go the way of your child. 5. Give your child space to grow and mature. ‐ All children are different. Accept your child for who they are. Fault finding makes the child question their self‐worth. Letting a child know how much you care about them makes them proud and builds resilience. 6. Focus on the processes rather than the outcomes. ‐ Parents should understand that the best athletes focus on the process, because the result is often out of their control. 7. Avoid going over the top about your child’s talent. ‐ Every sport has talented athletes, but for various reasons they do not always reach the pinnacle. 8. Encourage good attitudes. ‐ Good attitudes carry over into all aspects of life. 9. Support the coach, especially in public and in front of your child. ‐ If there is a disagreement, settle it privately. ‐ Negatively discussing other parents or coaches in front of your child can be detrimental ‐ No matter how private conversations are, they can become public very easily. 10. Build good relationships with other parents. ‐ Parents of your children’s friends will often become your friends. 11. You should not compare your child’s journey to another child’s journey. ‐ Children mature at different rates. All children are different. Try to understand your child’s views of the world around them. 12. If your child makes mistakes, let them experience the consequences of their actions. ‐ This is how they learn and grow and become independent, resourceful and confident. ‐ Set‐backs and failures are opportunities for improvement. Explain to your child that continued effort, practice and learning are the keys to success. 13. Recognise your child’s results don‘t define you. ‐ Your child’s success or disappointment does not change other parents’ views of you. 14. Develop your child’s strengths. ‐ Help your child to identify their strengths and develop them. These children experience success, become inspired, confident and resilient.
