SGN Medallion

What is the Sir Gustav Nossal Medallion?

The Co-Curricular Certificate (Sir Gustav Nossal Medallion) is an integral element of a students’ life experience at Nossal High School. At Nossal we expect all students to be involved in co-curricular activities that go towards their Sir Gustav Nossal Medallion.

The Certificate is based on Howard Gardner’s ‘Five Minds of the Future’. Students complete activities across each division of the five minds:

1. Creative (the Arts)
2. Disciplined (sports and clubs)
3. Ethical (leadership)
4. Respectful (community service)
5. Synthesising (competitions, debating and SRC)

Achievement is based on a four-year continuum; where students are expected to participate throughout their four years at Nossal. Students must cover all five categories to attain a certificate.

Students gain points by participating in a range of co-curricular activities across the five areas. The table below represent the number of points needed to gain a Bronze, Silver of Gold certificate (with a Gold resulting in a Sir Gustav Nossal Medallion).
