2017 Annual Report
PRIMARY SPORT CHALLENGE
The NSW Premier's Primary Sport
Challenge engages students in sport
and physical activity, encouraging
them to lead healthy, active lifestyles.
The Challenge is officially conducted
in schools during Terms 2 and 3.
A class accumulates time spent over a
10 week period in a broad range of
sports and recreational pursuits during
lunchtime, in school sport programs,
class time, before and after school or in
weekend physical activity.
Students in Years K-2 are encouraged
to develop an understanding of the
value of physical activity and
establishing a healthy lifestyle from a
young age. Students in Years 3-6 are
challenged to accumulate time being
physically active, aiming to achieve
Bronze, Silver, Gold or Diamond
awards at the conclusion of the
Challenge period. Years 3-6 students
record their daily activity time in
individual log books to tally the blocks
of minutes spent being physically active
each week.
Weekly results are entered into the PSC
Tracker (the online system for tracking
and maintaining activity data) using the
school e-Wall Charts on an interactive
whiteboard.
Entering data on a regular (weekly)
basis has allowed students to review
their class performance and strive to
improve.
The many teachers and principals who
took on the role as 2017 Premier’s
Sporting Challenge Facilitators made
very significant contributions to the
implementation, promotion and
administration of the Challenge in their
schools.
Year 6 Student Leaders
357 schools requested student
leader badges, up from last year’s
total of 228 schools.
2,286 badges were requested, an
increase from 1,866 in 2016.
Student Awards
In 2017, 324,992 students completed
the NSW Premier's Primary Sport
Challenge.
All participating K-2 students received
a Gold Award. Students in Years 3-6
received either a Diamond, Gold,
Silver, Bronze or Encouragement
Award based on their individual
outcome or class average award level
achieved.

SECONDARY SPORT CHALLENGE
The NSW Premier’s Secondary Sport
Challenge encourages students in
Years 7-12 to increase their
participation in moderate to vigorous
activity through sport, recreation and
leisure activities, encouraging them to
lead healthy, active lifestyles. The
Challenge is officially conducted in
schools during Terms 2 and 3.
Teams or individual students record
time spent over a 10 week period in a
range of sports and recreational
pursuits. The accumulation of activity
time occurs during lunchtime, school
sport programs, class time, before and
after school or in weekend physical
activity.
Students are challenged to either
contribute time to achieve a team
average that determines the level of a
Bronze, Silver, Gold or Diamond
Awards at the conclusion of the
Challenge period or improve on their
own individual effort. Students record
their daily activity time in individual log
books or via the PSC app, tally the
minutes spent being physically active
each week and report the total to their
team leader or school facilitator.
Students’ weekly award levels are
recorded online in the PSC Tracker.
Those who have used the PSC app to
record their personal physical activity
have their data automatically
synchronized into the Tracker.
The team’s e-Wall Chart calculates a
cumulative average and identifies the
award level the team is tracking
towards. It is also an opportunity to
promote team ‘challenges’.
The many teachers and principals who
took on the role as 2017 Premier’s
Sporting Challenge Facilitators made
very significant contributions to the
implementation, promotion and
administration of the Challenge in their
schools.
Student Awards
75,635 secondary students completed
the Challenge in 2017, an increase

STAFF CHALLENGE
The Staff Challenge aims to encourage
and support school staff and state
office personnel to become more
active, more often by providing a
pedometer for recording time spent in
a broad range of sport and recreational
pursuits.
Importantly, the Staff Challenge
provides an avenue through which
school staff, as influential adults, can
model active, healthy lifestyle choices
to students.
In 2017, 9,114 staff members from 671
school and state office sites completed
the Staff Challenge.
Key reasons for taking part in the
Staff Challenge included:
whole school participation and
focus on healthy, active lifestyles
teachers as role models for
students
a free pedometer to motivate,
measure and gauge increases in
physical activity levels
a sense of “competition” between
staff.

GRANTS
In 2017, schools in the NSW Premier’s
Primary and Secondary Sport
Challenges received a grant to assist
in implementing local physical activity
and healthy lifestyle initiatives.
The funding model used to determine
school grants took into account the
levels of student participation, the
scale of operation of larger schools
involved in the program, and provided
small schools with an appropriate level
of funding support.
Use of the grants by schools included: • sport and physical activity
professional learning programs
• specialist support, for example, engagement of a sports coach
• venue hire
• student leadership initiatives
• learning community
initiatives and partner school strategies.

2017 Annual Report
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 England 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
Sydney areas have agreed to be part of the PA4E1 study.
14
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.

2017 Annual Report
SPORT LEADERSHIP
The PSC Sport Leadership program
supports schools in developing
leadership opportunities for students
through sport and physical activity.
From 1 July 2017, the PSC Sport
Leadership program transitioned to a
grants-based funding model. All NSW
secondary schools were sent an
information brochure outlining the
grant application process to support
the program’s delivery in their local
area. The online application required a
minimum of three secondary schools
as part of a Sport Leadership
Community (SLC) to be eligible for the
initial grant: Leading with Action. Each
of these secondary schools could then
apply for a Learning to Lead grant with
a minimum of two partner primary
schools. Both grants run for a 12
month period. The new funding model
provides each SLC with the flexibility
to determine scheduling and sport-
specific options to enhance student
engagement in their local area.
Leading with Action program (LwA)
15 LwA workshops were conducted
across NSW
1,550 students in Stage 5 and 6
participated
LwA aligns with students studying
Physical Activity & Sports Studies
(PASS) or Sport, Lifestyle &
Recreation (SLR)
2 new host manager schools and
their SLCs joined the program in
2017 - Ashcroft High School and
Coolah Central School
Kooringal and Mount Austin High
School piloted a new Leading with
Action format which is currently
being evaluated.

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 student medal enables schools to recognise a student
who has shown tremendous sporting spirit and enthusiasm.
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. She is a member of the garden club, a library monitor and is always kind and caring to her friends.”
Congratulations Evelynn from Meadowbank Public School and
to all the 2017 PSC Medal recipients!

“I just wanted to thank you so much for organising our
ambassador school visit. Even with the rain and having
to do the clinic in the hall without a netball ring, the girls
had such a great time.
The talk at our assembly was inspiring and all round it
was such a wonderful experience for everyone.” *
“The PSC Ambassador program is a worthwhile concept
that should be encouraged as it serves to inspire our
students to appreciate the importance of being physically
active, regardless of the level of involvement.” * * PSC Ambassador Program 2017 Teacher Evaluation
