Awards and Recognition

We have high expectations of academic performance as well as behaviour. When students strive to achieve, they are given recognition through our highly effective system of class and school awards. These awards are presented at regular, whole school assemblies and students may progress through levels of awards and become recipients of our special bronze, silver, gold and diamond certificates.

Our school gives opportunities for all students to be recognised for their achievements as well as their efforts.

1. Achievement Levels

Bronze: For achieving 5 awards
Silver: For achieving 10 awards
Gold: For achieving 15 awards
Diamond: For achieving 20 awards.

2. Artists of the Month:

The development of students’ creativity is promoted by this school. We help foster the talent of our students through development of creative skills and the presentation of the award ‘Artist of the Month’. Each month a student in each class is recognised for artistic achievement.

3. Citizen of the Month:

We give citizenship certificates to those students who exhibit exemplary behaviour and who make a contribution to the well-being of others.

4. Super Star Awards

Super Star awards go into a fortnightly lucky draw and students may be the winner of a valuable book prize. These awards are given to students for positive behaviour including:

  • Kindness
  • Cooperation
  • Citizenship
  • Punctuality

Students also have their achievements recognised in school newsletters, at public events and in the local media.
