Awards Criteria Handbook2

GENERAL INFORMATION• These awards are presented annually in recognition of Scholarship, Academic, Cultural, Sporting and Service

achievements associated with the school.

• In order to achieve comparability of standards, a points system will operate. Girls may accrue points from year to year.

The number of points required for activities will vary according to the activity.

• An Awards Committee consisting of the Principal, Deputy to the Principal, Assistant Principal, Curriculum, Music, Theatre

Arts and Sports Directors, and Teachers in Charge of Activities will make the final decisions regarding student and staff/

coaches submissions.

• Accumulation of points for any award is an opportunity for the application to be considered and a guideline for the

Committee. It does not automatically ensure an award. Additional awards may be granted in exceptional circumstances

at the discretion of the Awards Committee.

• In general, awards are for Year 10 – 13 students. Exceptional performance at Years 7-9 may be recognised.

• To receive an award, students must have achieved at the appropriate level, as set out in the criteria. They must also have

shown dedication, commitment, given service to the school and above all have upheld the Rangi Ruru values.

• Students may gain one Pocket, Colour or Elite Award per year. Re-awards must be earned; they are not automatically

granted. Points required to achieve an award must be re-accumulated. Generally, excess points achieved for an original

award, are not able to be reused.

• Application forms are available on Rangi Life. Information as to when they are required will be in the Daily Notices.

• Academic Scholarship Awards based on NCEA are awarded in Term 1. All others are awarded in Terms 2, 3 & 4.

• Endeavour Awards are Curriculum Awards based on classroom and subject endeavour. Teachers nominate students in

their classes and awards are presented to students who receive the most nominations across all their subjects. For

Year 7-10 there are two awards per tutor group, in Years 11-13 twelve awards in total for Terms 2 and 3. There are no

Endeavour Awards in Terms 1 or 4. It is possible to receive an Endeavour Award more than once and in multiple years.

• The Silver Fern Award. A student selected to represent New Zealand in any field will receive an emblem consisting of an

embroidered Silver Fern. This is to be displayed on the lapel of the blazer. These will be awarded in Terms 2, 3 and 4. This

is only awarded once.

AWARDS IDENTIFICATIONRecognition of awards is indicated by the wearing of a strip defining the activity achieved together with a date strip, below

the pocket on the school blazer.

The level of the Award is recognised as follows:

• Pocket – Navy strip pale blue wording with date

• Colours – Navy strip gold wording with date

• Elite Performance – Gold strip navy wording with date

• Elite Service – Navy strip white wording with date.


POCKET AWARDA Pocket Award monogram with a blue laurel leaf and gold RR is worn on the blazer in place of the RR monogram when a

student acquires the Pocket Award. Students only receive one Pocket monogram.

WEARING OF COLOURS AND POCKETSThe strip should be sewn so that it is lined up with the outside gold curve of the sports pocket. The first strip is to be sewn

on the pocket and any further ones in line with it underneath the pocket.

• Any re-awards should be sewn alongside the strip

• Pocket Awards should be sewn on first, Colours Awards underneath

• If you have not already received a blazer pocket you may collect one from the Sports Office, at a cost of $8.00

• Awards are sewn onto the blazer starting immediately below the pocket; further awards are placed beneath the first

award

• Pocket award = blue strip

• Colours award = gold strip.

to the group or activity.

students will be National Representatives, or equivalent.

Students are not eligible for these awards until Year 12 or Year 13. The standard of service required is similar for each area

Students who perform at a high or exceptionally high level in regional, national or international academic competitions or

events on several occasions are awarded Academic Pockets or Colours.

Applications for Academic pockets and Colours are made to Ms Collins, Assistant Principal, Curriculum on the Academic

Awards Application Form available on Rangi Life.

Awards can be accrued in more than one calendar year. A pocket must be gained first to be eligible for a Colour Award.

Applicants must have awards (higher than Participation level) in a minimum of five competitions or events to be considered

eg ICAS, Australian Science Competition, CPIT Competitions

The level of the competition award will determine eligibility for a Pocket or Colour Award (or re-award) at the discretion of the

Assistant Principal, Curriculum.

SCHOLARSHIP AWARDSScholarship Awards are available to students for national results gained in one year. The awards are based on a percentage

of Excellence grades out of the total possible for a student’s five best subjects. For example, a student with 18 Excellence

grades out of a total possible of 22 would have 81.1%. Total possible Excellence grades will vary between subjects.

If a student is studying at a higher level, the degree of difficulty is recognised by a reduction in the total Excellence figure for

that student. For example, a Level 2 student with 18 Excellence grades out of 22 but who was studying a Level 3 subject as

part of that would have the total grades reduced by 1 grade to acknowledge the higher level study.

Pockets

A student qualifies for a pocket if she:

• Gains 50% or better in Excellence grades for NCEA at Level 1or Level 2.

• Gains an equivalent mix of Excellence grades for NCEA at more than one level.

MUSIC AWARDSPlease note that the criteria for Music pockets and colours varies from sport. Girls should not compare the two systems.

Music awards are individual awards, not team awards (as may be the case in some areas of sport). Each set of criteria is fair

and equitable to the two disciplines.

MUSIC POCKETS AND COLOURSPockets – 5 points

Colours – 8 points

Once a Pocket or Colours has been awarded the accumulation of points must start again.

It is the student’s responsibility to download the form from Rangi Life and have the Director of Music verify all points.

Community service hours may be available through assisting music staff with the running of junior music groups. If counted

towards community service these hours cannot be counted towards a pocket or colour award. Please consult with music

staff for clarification as required.

Pockets

5 points are required together with a high standard of achievement, commitment and a positive attitude to school music.

These points may be accumulated over a number of years.

Colours

These awards are given at the discretion of the Awards Committee. Generally, minimum of 8 points is required, however

there may be special circumstances where this is not the case. A very high standard of performance, commitment and a

positive attitude, including modelling the Rangi Values, for the entire year in a wide range of music groups must be evident

before a music colour is awarded. The accumulation of these points, which must be earned in one year, does not guarantee

this award. In most cases a student must have had a pocket in order to be eligible.

Regular membership of a school music group that has performed in concertsand competitions representing the school
