AWARDS HANDBOOK FROM TERM 3, 2023

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. Students 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.

Outstanding Service Awards

These Awards are specific for service to Technology, Library, Science, Fitness Centre, Theatre Arts, Sport, Sustainability and Performing Arts. They acknowledge an exceptional level of service and are based on accumulation of points after two years’ service in the area concerned.

Elite Colours

Elite awards recognise the achievement of senior students who have reached a higher level than that required for Colours. Students are generally not eligible for these awards until Year 12 or Year 13. Elite awards require both exceptional performance and a level of service towards their area of expertise.

Performance must be achieved in an open field or at a level beyond their own age group.

In general these students will be national representatives, or equivalent, and often representing New Zealand on the world stage, and have been selected on the basis of ability. The student must have participated in the event to qualify for Elite Colours.

The standard of service required is similar for each area and includes working with younger students and passing on skills.

Students must have shown a high degree of demonstrating the Rangi Ruru Values in their approach and application to their area of expertise, and at school.

Additional criteria will apply in each area.

Elite Colours is not applied for. The award is made on the recommendation of the Awards committee to exceptional Colours applicants whom the committee deems to have met the criteria of this prestigious elite award.

ACADEMIC

SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS

Scholarship 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 they:

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

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

Colours

• Gains 70% or better Excellence grades for NCEA Level 1 or Level 2

Applications for Academic Pockets or Colours are made to Ms Collins, Assistant Principal Cirriculum on the Academic Awards Application Form available on Rangi Life.

Points can be accrued in more than one year but should have relevance for the student’s current year level. Achievements from Year 9 will, for example, not be considered if the student is currently in Y13. A pocket must be gained first to be eligible for Colours.

Applicants must have awards higher than Participation level in a minimum of five competitions or events to be considered e.g. ICAS, Australian Science Competition, ARA Chemistry Competition etc. In ICAS Competitions, Merit and Credit count towards a pocket award.

SPORTING AWARDS

To be eligible for a sporting Pocket or Colours award, Students must display Rangi Ruru values alongside a high degree of commitment and responsibility, dedication, loyalty and appropriate behaviour.

Importantly a high level of skill is essential for a Colours award.

This also applies when points can be accumulated over more than one year. Once a Pocket or Colours has been awarded the accumulation of points must start again. The accumulation of points only allows the student to have their application considered for selection of Pockets and Colours.

For all categories:

MUSIC AWARDS

Please note that the criteria for Music pockets and colours varies from sport. Students 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 COLOURS

Pockets – 5 points

Colours – 8 points

These awards are generally only available to students in Years 9 – 13. In exceptional circumstances a Year 7/8 student may be awarded a pocket only, at the discretion of the Awards Committee, provided they have the required number of points. Once a Pocket or Colours has been awarded the accumulation of points must start again.

It is the student’s responsibility to complete the online form and have the Director of Music verify all points. Community service hours may be available through coaching/assisting with junior music groups. If counted towards community service these hours cannot be counted towards a pocket or colour award. Please consult with the Director of Music 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, a 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 Ruru 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.
