Educational Achievement Awards - Primary School

The Educational Achievement Awards celebrate primary school students in our partner schools who have distinguished themselves through academic excellence, leadership actions, and kindness and empathy towards their fellow students. Awards: There are 6 awards per school. The award winners are selected by liaison officers in consultation with school colleagues. These decisions will be collaborative and consultative, made by class teachers, home school liaison officers, special needs assistants and so on. The Educational Achievement Awards are as follows: Salters Sterling Leadership Award: Students selected for the Salter Sterling Award have often put others before themselves; they have shown a great sense of civic-mindedness and purposefulness in their classrooms, schools and communities. These students stand out as the leaders of tomorrow, as they have chosen to take action in the present and to make their schools and communities better places. Kindness Award: Students selected for the Kindness Award have demonstrated extraordinary levels of kindness to their fellow students and classmates. Through their demonstrations of friendliness, assistance, and compassion, this award is presented to students who have made their school a more welcoming environment for others. School Spirit Award: Students selected for the Student Persistence Award are honoured for playing a positive role within the school community. Through their demonstration of hard work and enthusiasm, these students are a source of inspiration to their classmates. For example, a student can win for academic excellence, attendance or for participating in extra curricular activies.
