Independent Girls Schools Sports Association (IGSSA)

NSW + ACT girls' independent school sporting association — 27 member schools, the largest girls' competition in Australia. Founded 1894 as the "Combined Girls' Schools Association" of NSW. Sports include netball, hockey, basketball, swimming, athletics, cricket, football + rowing.

History + context

IGSSA is significantly larger than the boys' equivalents because more girls' independents wanted to play together. Modern membership extends from eastern Sydney (Ascham, Kambala, SCEGGS) through North Shore (Abbotsleigh, Pymble, Wenona, Roseville) to suburban schools across Greater Sydney.
