A Legacy of Excellence
From 2008 to 2022, the ISA was led by Director Annette Gee Maclean, whose professionalism, pragmatism and vision elevated the Association and provided generations of students with meaningful opportunities to grow through sport. Her legacy remains foundational to the current structure and aspirations of the ISA.
In 2023, Stuart Newman was appointed ISA Director of Sport, ushering in a new era of leadership, as the ISA continues to build on its rich history while responding to the evolving needs of students, schools, and the wider educational landscape.
Today, the ISA remains true to the founding spirit – providing competitive opportunities that unite, challenge and grow students through the power of sport.
As Peter Cornish reflected:
“History will record the huge effort made by colleagues from disparate backgrounds – Heads and games directors alike – to bring the ISA to life. From managing logistics, incorporating for insurance and governance, and establishing competitive credibility, ISA has grown to stand proudly alongside AICES, CAS, CSSA, GPS, IGSA, and others.” History will show – and practice will always emphasise – the pivotal role of sport in a complete model of education in any school of merit.”
