The NSW Premier's Sporting Challenge (PSC) Student Medal gives all NSW Government schools an opportunity to acknowledge student commitment and contribution to sport and physical activity programs.
We look forward to seeing this prestigious medal being presented to over 3,000 students from NSW public schools this year.
PSC Student Medal criteria
The medal is intended to acknowledge students for their outstanding:
- commitment to fair play
- effort and improved performance in a sporting context
- contribution to the school’s weekly sport and physical activity programs.
The student/s most deserving of the PSC Student Medal always tries their very best, encourages other students and always seeks to wholeheartedly participate in school sport and/or physical activity programs.
It is not meant to replace existing school sport awards but rather, recognise a student who enthusiastically joins in games and sporting events, always tries their best, offers encouragement to others or takes on responsibility for physical activity programs in the school.
The PSC Student Medal is not directly affiliated with the PSC challenges. Any student at the school can receive this medal, regardless of the school's participation in the 10-week Challenge (10wC).
A PSC Student Medal certificate (PDF 332 KB) is available for schools to download and print to accompany the medal presentation and/or for display in a student's folder.
How many PSC Student Medals do schools receive?
All schools now have the opportunity to request up to 4 PSC Student Medal to award to students (as part of their PSC registration).
