Student Citizen Awards

Nominations are now open for schools to participate in the 2023 Student Citizen of the Year awards.

Sponsored by the Department of Education, these awards are free for Northern Territory schools to participate in and recognise students who show a sense of fair play, generosity of spirit, concern for others, cultural understanding, positive attitude and involvement within the school and/or the wider community.

All Northern Territory schools can nominate one student per primary, middle and/or senior secondary school. Combined schools can recognise one student per level.

Schools decide how their student is selected. For example, teachers can nominate students or students could apply to receive the award.
Awards are then presented at either the end of year school assembly or at a local council flag raising ceremony on Australia Day.
