One of our many prestigious awards at Presentation Night (this year's event is on Thursday 7th December), is the Roffey Family Volunteerism Award.
This award recognises and honours a student’s significant contribution to the local community through their activity and participation as a volunteer.
Volunteering is defined as an activity that takes place through a recognised community organisation and is undertaken:
- outside of school hours and must include duties not associated with school
- over a reasonable period of service/number of hours, within the current school year
- to be of demonstrated benefit to the local community
- for no reward or financial gain
- freely and of the student’s own volition
- to be an inspiration for others
A student who receives any reward or financial benefit for their volunteer work is ineligible for this award.
Note: Reward or benefit does not include trophies, medals, certificates or other forms of acknowledgment of achievement the student may have received from a community organisation.
The award is:
- To recognise and acknowledge the volunteer contribution a student individual has contributed to their community.
- To celebrate and support the work of the student volunteer.
- To inspire students to start volunteering or volunteer more.
