PROFESSIONAL LEARNING and RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS

2017 has been a busy year as the PSC program responded to the launch of new websites for both the Department of Education and School Sport Unit, higher expectations around accessibility standards and the ongoing demand for professional learning opportunities as all teachers come online for accreditation in 2018.

The Building Skills as a Sport Organiser series has a new format and delivery mode enhancing participants’ learning experience and facilitating the registration and reporting processes that are features of the new MyPL platform. Course 1 of the series rolled out in November and the rest of the courses will come online shortly.

Support for schools to fulfil policy requirements and more easily access relevant documents for the safe conduct of school sport and planned physical activity prompted an update of the courses - Reviewing procedures for school sport and Developing procedures for school sport. Schools can use course templates to consult, consider and reflect on current practice and process before writing and publishing a procedures document.

An exciting part of 2017 has been a collaboration with Hunter New Health’s research team as they prepare to launch PA4E1.

This program will encourage the completion of the procedures courses and attendance at Resistance Training for Teens workshops as strategies for secondary teachers to deliver quality PE and sport sessions. It is hoped the program will build capacity for planned physical activity across the whole school community. 38 DoE high schools across the Hunter, North Coast, Central Coast and South West areas have agreed to be part of the PA4E1 study.

13 2017 Annual Report

Existing research team partnerships have continued and expanded during 2017. Over 100 teachers attended workshops for Thinking while Moving in Maths and 7 teachers completed their training at the Highly Accomplished career stage to become presenters of this very popular concept which will be expanded into English lessons in 2018.

Burn to Learn, a new workshop in development for 2018 with the University of Newcastle, looks to improve fitness and wellbeing amongst Stage 6 students as they move through the rigour of senior studies and complete Crossroads requirements.

iPLAY has continued to expand its reach to NSW primary schools – over 600 teachers are actively involved in training and 50 have completed their registered hours. The iPLAY website now includes information for families as well as providing professional learning modules for the mentors, leaders and teachers who promote a whole of school approach to improving student physical activity outcomes and teacher confidence and competencies.

AWARDS AND RECOGNITION

NSW Premier’s Sporting Challenge Student Medal In August 2017, a NSW Premier’s Sporting Challenge Medal was sent to every public school in readiness for schools’ end-of-year presentation ceremonies.

The selected student may not be the best athlete, but is someone who makes a consistent, conscientious effort in school sport and is supportive, encouraging and possibly inspiring in their sporting endeavours.

“Evey is a worthy recipient of the PSC medal. She leads a physically active lifestyle and participates in a variety of school and out of school sporting opportunities, ensuring she fulfils the required amount of physical activity time each day. She strives to do her best and demonstrates excellent sportsmanship at all times. Evey is a multi-talented sportsperson and is happy to play any position asked of by her teacher or coach in a variety of teams.
