WHY SUPPORT GISSA?
Inter-School Sport Programs are required to apply for funds from the education budgets of our Member Schools – which have numerous competing priorities. Additional funds from other avenues allows these Schools to expand the opportunities for their students.
Students from the Geelong region should be afforded the same sporting opportunities as all other children across the nation to reach their true potential and foster a lifelong passion for being healthy.
By supporting GISSA, like-minded organisations and individuals can make a tangible difference in the lives of Geelong teenagers as they face one of our community’s biggest social issues: the youth mental health crises.
Our Member Schools live at the coalface of this crisis every day, and therefore have a unique perspective on the positive impact that promoting sport and physical activity can have on students as they face this evolving and complex challenge.
GISSA will commence operations with a part-time executive. However, we intend to eventually create a support network that expands both sporting and non-sporting options for all students across Member Schools. Non-sporting options could include Robotics, Debating, Music, Chess, Arts and more.
OUR MISSION
HEALTHY 4LIFE
Our mission at GISSA is to foster and nurture a passion for Sport and being healthy for ‘4 LIFE’.
GISSA will connect with students at different stages along their journey, but the end goal is the same: inspire students to maintain a healthy lifestyle, through Sport, that continues beyond their time at School.
For some students, our Programs will be their first introduction into competitive Sport, and might be the only experience they have in Sport throughout their teenage years.
For many others, GISSA provides the perfect compliment to Community Sport – or it allows them to play a new Sport they would not have otherwise outside of School.
The benefits of this are many and varied – both for the students and the wider community.
OUR IMPACT
6,000 STUDENTS + 2,000 STAFF
GISSA has a massive network of people connected to our organisation. And, when you factor in the families attached to each of those students and staff, our reach across Geelong has unlimited potential.
200,000 MINUTES
That’s approximately how much physical activity we produce for students every year across our numerous Programs, which includes afternoon competitions every Wednesday and Championship Carnival Days all year round for our most popular Sports.
20 DIFFERENT SPORTS
We are all about inclusivity at GISSA, that’s why we provide a choice for every student, for all abilities. And there are even plans to provide non-sporting options in the future – such as Robotics, Debating, Music, Chess and more!
