NSW Premier’s Sporting Challenge Student Medal

In October 2014, a NSW Premier’s Sporting Challenge Medal was distributed to every public school in readiness for schools’ end-of-year presentation ceremonies. The Student Medal allows schools to recognise a student who has shown tremendous sporting spirit and enthusiasm, possibly a leader among their peers. The student may or may not be the best athlete, but they have made a consistent, conscientious effort in school sport and been supportive, encouraging and perhaps inspiring in their sporting endeavours.

Award for Excellent Service to School Sport

School principals were provided with an opportunity to nominate a member of staff to receive the Award for Excellent Service to School Sport. Twenty two awards were well received. Thirty two teachers also received a Recognition Certificate to acknowledge their contribution to school sport.
