PN Core Program Events
PN Core Program Events are welcoming to everyone and are intended to be enjoyed by all students regardless of their athletic ability. These special events bring students from different schools together to enjoy a variety of sports and activities, oftentimes mixing the schools together across teams to further promote a non-competitive atmosphere.
PN Core Events are unique in that modifications to sport rules are encouraged to ensure above all else, students are enjoying themselves and the games are run as efficiently as possible. The non-competitive structure of PN allows the rules of the game to be flexible to maintain a high success rate for participants and a smoother flow to the event.
Bonus: Schools taking part in the SSNL Sports Stars program will receive Sports Stars points for hosting and taking part in PN Core Program Events.
