Stuart Michael Teacher - Health & Physical Education Football Excellence Program Coordinator Kawana Waters State College Sportsmans Parade BOKARINA 4575

Dear Stuart

I am writing in respect to the Kawana Waters State College Football Program of Excellence (which partners with Football Queensland) to reinforce our continued support for the program. The football program is the only one that is formally recognized on the Sunshine Coast by Football Queensland and supported by our PS4 National Premier League Club, Sunshine Coast FC Fire.

The Kawana Program has a number of strong underpinning principles: it provides strong connection between football excellence and a commitment to an education; is committed to the best technical approach to the game as embodied in the FFA Football Curriculum; and encourages an appropriate mix of personal endeavor and group commitment in its participants.

Sunshine Coast FC Fire has committed its support to the College’s Football Excellence program and will work closely together with the College to assist in the development of young football talent. Sunshine Coast FC will provide coaching support for the College’s program, assist with talent identification and the implementation of the FFA National Curriculum.

Football Queensland wholeheartedly supports the partnership between your College and Football Queensland , which takes it’s instruction from the FFA Whole of Football Plan and I look forward to a continuing partnership with the College.

Yours Sincerely

Geoff Foster Chief Executive Officer

The program can also lead students to pursue tertiary studies in Leisure, Sport and Recreation, Human Movements and Physical Education. Pathways include coaching, managerial positions and officiating of games as a referee or tournament manager. Regular visits from Football Queensland and the Sunshine Coast Fire will also provide the prospect for advanced playing opportunities.
