NSW Premier's Student Volunteering Awards program
The NSW Premier's Student Volunteering Awards program is a NSW government initiative that encourages all students to undertake a minimum of 20 hours of volunteering during the time they are enrolled in Years 9 and 10. In appreciation of this contribution to the community, students will receive Premier's Certificates (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond respectively) for completing 20, 40, 60 and 80 hours of volunteering.
The printing and distribution of students' certificates will occur twice annually (at the end of each semester) and be managed by Curriculum K-12 Directorate. Contact the Principal or Student Volunteering coordinator to find out more.
Parents and members of the broader school community can support schools in a variety of ways including assisting in the organisation and implementation of community volunteering activities or assisting to arrange appropriate volunteering opportunities with not-for-profit organisations. The school's Student Volunteering coordinator can provide advice and relevant documentation to support this process.
Students in Year 9 or 10 at a NSW public school who wish to participate in the Premier's Awards program should contact the school for more details
