Girls Sport Victoria Inc (GSV) commends the Principals of the 24 participating schools for their vision and commitment to the ongoing development of girl's school sport.

Early in 1999 Mrs Fiona Preston was appointed as Project Officer. Working collaboratively with all of the 24 schools and the Heads of Sport Programme Planning Committee she developed the sport programme for 2001. We thank her and the committee for their insightful planning particularly those who have worked diligently on the GSV project since its inception; Craig Harris, Debbie Bennett, Cathy Hunt, June Ward, Fiona Shepherd (1999), Jennifer McIntyre (2000), Andrew Potter (2000) and Dean Rossato (2000).
