About SEISA
In 2023 SEISA celebrated its tenth anniversary. This provided an opportunity to look back on where the Association had been since emerging from the GIS, and to celebrate what it had achieved over that decade. What came through in recognising SEISA is just how special it is. While many school associations revolve around sport, SEISA does so much more, and aspires to be more for our school communities. Its size and geographical location is its great strength – and challenge.
SEISA is a genuine association that provides our students a depth and breadth of opportunity in a diverse range of areas they would not normally get. It also grows our young people’s worlds as they interact beyond their local community. One of the many benefits of SEISA is seeing like-minded students from similar schools connect. This happens through music, art, leadership, cultural events –and of course the sporting competitions. Our students' worlds expand as they interact with students with similar passions from similar backgrounds.
As member schools, all of our involvement in SEISA requires commitment and sacrifice. We all experience the pressure SEISA participation creates through the demands it puts on our most precious of school commodities – time. Being reminded of the value of being part of the Association and the benefits for all of the young people at our schools is very important, particularly as we look towards the future
Whether students choose to participate in the weekly sporting fixtures, annual sporting carnivals, specialty events or leadership programs they are contributing to the success of SEISA. Through these avenues students have the opportunity to shine and develop a sense of pride in both their personal achievements and the achievements of their school.

In the spirit of reconciliation, SEISA acknowledges that its member schools learn, gather and engage on the lands of the Gunaikurnai, Wurundjeri and Bunurong - Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation who are the Traditional Custodians of country where our schools are located. They have strong connections to the land, the rivers, the sky, the sea, our communities as well as our wildlife. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present, and emerging, for they hold with them the memories, traditions and hopes of all First Nations peoples. It is through stories and literacy that our cultures can be shared.
