PSSA is back! Let’s celebrate and support the largest Gifted and Talented Educational Program in the entire Southern Hemisphere.
The School Sport Unit (SSU) is part of the Arts, Sport and Initiatives, Student Support and Specialist Programs Directorate within the Department of Education.
The SSU provides carefully planned, adaptable and enjoyable physical activity experiences for all students in NSW public schools. These programs are encouraged by devoted principals and delivered by highly skilled, motivated teachers who positively shape young people to become engaged in their communities and to lead happy, rewarding lives through a lifelong connection to sport and physical activity.
Our vision is to be the benchmark for equitable and inclusive provision of school sport and physical activity initiatives in Australia. This is achieved through delivering the following key programs and support:
- Representative school sport pathway
- School Swimming and Water Safety
- NSW Premier’s Sporting Challenge
- Disability and participation
- Policy and guidelines
- Teacher resource hub – inclusive of professional learning
