Mary Webster Mary Webster

Mary Webster

Get to know the women behind the overall champion school trophy at the IGSSA swimming championship.

In 2019 the IGSSA overall champion trophy will be named in honour of Mary Webster.

If you are unaware of Mary’s history with IGSSA, she worked for the association from 1983 - 1999 and has continued to assist with our representative pathways through her role at NSWCIS where she currently works in a sports administration role.

Mary is a wonderful friend to the association and a personal role model. I am inspired by her dedication to creating sporting opportunities for students of all levels but mostly I admire the extensive kindness she shows to everyone and the feeling of warmth that creates within our sporting community. We feel very privileged that Mary will be attending our swim and dive championship next Friday 22nd March, 2019.

As a former Pymble student we feel very lucky to embrace her as a friend of the association and I hope you enjoy the opportunity to read about her in the interview below.

On Sunday February 22nd IGSSA hosted the annual IGSSA Rowing Regatta at the Sydney International Regatta Centre. It was a beautiful day on the water and I would like to acknowledge the spirit of the rowers, staff and officials for contributing to a very successful regatta. Congratulations to Pymble Ladies College, the overall champions of the day, Loreto Kirribilli for taking home the handicap champion trophy and St Catherine’s school for being the most improved. As always, Donna Baker (LOK) coordinated the carnival with great organisation and extensive expertise. We feel exceptionally lucky to have her as our IGSSA convener and extend a very special thank you for her efforts.
