Sir Joseph Banks High School’s exciting new student recognition program begins today.
The Excellence Awards award growth and success. They recognise the development of the whole child by awarding students in 3 areas:
Community Champions are THINK awards that recognise a student’s contribution to our school community.
Zero Heroes are RESPECT awards that recognise attendance, punctuality, attitude and application.
Learning Legends are LEARN awards that recognise learning growth, academic and sporting excellence.
Students earn 1 merit every time a teacher records their excellence on Sentral. For every 5 merits earnt students receive a Bronze Award, for 25 merits a Silver, for 50 a Gold and for 3 Golds a Platinum. The pinnacle of the awards structure is the Most Valuable Pupil Award (Me>We @ SJB MPV). For this a student needs to have earnt a Gold in all three award areas.
Our students demonstrate excellence every day. The new SJB Excellence Awards structure provides yet another way for us to acknowledge this excellence. Progress up the ladder can be tracked via Sentral’s Student and Parent apps. Details of the awards structure and how merits can be earned are now on our website.
