| The first School Sport Unit eNewsletter for 2019 provides a variety of opportunities and resources available to teachers and schools. Of special note are the various applications and registrations to programs available including the 2019 Premier's Sporting Challenge and School Swimming and Water Safety program. As well as these updated Concussion Guidelines have been developed and should be utilised when this type of incident occurs.
This year will see the NSWPSSA and various regional associations will be 'Celebrating 50 Years' since their current structure arose. Weekly School Sport in public schools will also celebrate 130 years.

These courses provide teachers with the opportunity to learn how to teach Learn to Swim and Water Safety Education. Teachers from K-12 will participate in a 9 hour one day workshop that will introduce them to concepts and practices of Learn to Swim and Water Safety education for school aged participants.
The main focus will be on participants developing safe and correct techniques in Learn to Swim and Water Safety so that they can confidently and effectively conduct a successful Learn to Swim and Water Safety program at their school.
Courses are held at multiple locations around the state. Dates and locations in the flyer.

Revised Concussion Guidelines (exist within the Further Information section) are available within the Sport Safety Guidelines. These utilise the very latest community and health professional practices and should be used when this type of incident occurs. It should be noted, in the school setting, most student and staff concussions do not happen during sport but during active play at recess and lunch. These Guidelines should be used in all cases of suspected concussion.
