In her early career years Samantha has delivered exceptional teaching, development of curriculum, PDHPE processes and cutting-edge athlete support.

It has led to improvements in attendance, individual/school achievement and performance for identified students, as well as greater parent and staff engagement.

Samantha has contributed to 7-12 PDHPE programming enhancements and implemented a successful reflective evaluation process for both staff and students. This has provided useful data in relation to programming and assessment.  

She nurtures local partnerships with sporting associations and primary schools and has delivered professional learning on HGPE identification and support, to local school Principals. Samantha’s work ethic, care for students and skills are an asset to her school and students.

School/faculty category – joint winner
Narrabeen Sports High School PDHPE faculty

The hard-working PDHPE faculty from Narrabeen Sports High School PDHPE has transformed the way PDHPE content is delivered at their school with great results.

Through extensive review and consultation with the school community, the team developed personalised scope and sequence for PDHPE and refocussed practical programming and assessment. This included implementation of the Sports Education in Physical Education Program.

The faculty launched a new multi-faceted online platform for students and teachers to support PDHPE delivery, engagement and evaluation. Among its features is a Google website for each program with comprehensive resources, assessment options, and enrichment activities.

The new approach support students who are often on school business for representative commitments and has led to improvement in student attainment, coursework quality and theory lesson engagement. Students are positive about the relevance and relatability of content and delivery. The online platform also enables effective program updates and seamless transition for new staff.

Highly commended:

  • PDHPE faculty, Oran Park High School
