Staff & Teachers

Registration

Be one of the first 250 schools to register for the 2026 Premier’s be active Challenge (PbaC) and receive a $100 physical activity pack.

To register and receive a pack, please complete and submit the registration form. All schools should register in 2026 to ensure school contact details are up to date.

The PbaC team will ensure your school data is added to the Premier’s Challenges Administration System.

Administering the PbaC

Staff and teachers across South Australia do a wonderful job of promoting physical activity and the Premier’s be active Challenge – thank you for your dedication, care and enthusiasm!

Most of the information about the Challenge is contained in the guidelines and across the site.

The following are issues that arise regularly from schools:

Keeping Student Records – File Management Recommendations

Once data for the Challenge has been submitted and medals and certificates have been distributed, our system’s database acts as the official and verifiable record of participation. Management and retention of student records after each Challenge year is the responsibility of individual schools.

We recommend that schools retain student records for a minimum of 12 months following the conclusion of each Challenge year. Any retention beyond this period is at the discretion of the school.

Students’ Interstate Participation Acknowledgement

If you have students who have moved to your school from interstate, and have completed a similar challenge in their old school we are more than happy to update our records to include previous participation.

Please note that we cannot give students retrospective awards, but will award them in the current year according to the number of years completed both interstate and in SA.

As we do not have access to the interstate records, we require the following steps to be undertaken:

1. Students requiring acknowledgement of interstate participation show their school’s PbaC coordinator the certificates they received interstate.
2. PbaC coordinator then contacts the PbaC team via email Education.PbaC@sa.gov.au and provides the following information:
   • Student name
   • Current year level
   • EDID number – this is the long number with a letter on the end (Government schools only)
   • Date of birth
   • Which years the student completed the Challenge interstate.
3. PbaC team will then add the student to your school for the previous years, and the student will receive the next award according to how many years they have completed the Challenge overall.

Students who are relocating to another school (local or interstate)

Please ensure that their PbaC record goes with each student to their new school, and that the student and their parents are clear on what level the student is “up to”.

Award Level Enquiries – students new to your school

To find out what award level a new student at your school is aiming for this year, please email Education.PbaC@sa.gov.au with the following information:

• Full name (including any previous names, alternative names, nicknames)
• Gender (current and previous, if changed)
• Date of birth
• Previous school
• EDID number – this is the long number with a letter on the end (Government schools only).

Then we can look up the students required and let you know where they are up to in the Challenge, and ensure their records will match up when you enter your data this year.
