Honours Award Program Years 7-12

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest initiative: the Honours Award Program. At The King's College, we've always been committed to recognizing excellence and fostering a culture of achievement. With this new program,  we aim to build a desire to achieve greater levels of participation and success throughout the student's time at the College, encouraging both individual accolades and House spirit. It serves as a means of acknowledging and celebrating a student's notable engagement, accomplishments, and dedication within the Secondary School context. It encompasses a range of achievement levels accessible to secondary students across diverse categories.

Categories and Tiers

The categories through which individuals can qualify for Awards include Academic, Arts, Sport, and Citizenship. Within each category, students accrue points that contribute to their recognition at varying tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and The King's Honours Award. When students reach a tier in a category, they will be awarded a badge for that tier and category at the next Honours Award Assembly. The assemblies are held twice a year and carried out in Term 1 and Term 3. The pinnacle of this recognition system is The King's Honours Award, exclusively attainable by students who achieve Gold Award status across all four categories.

Accruing Points

Students will accumulate points throughout their time in the Secondary School through a range of various activities within each category. The points will accumulate over a student's time in Secondary School and will also contribute to House points for their House. Student activities performed externally that meet the criteria can also be awarded points through an application process. Points will be awarded for activities in each category. There are examples below of what will accrue points. The amount of points will vary based on the difficulty and frequency of the achievement/performance.

We're excited to see the positive impact that the Honours Award Program will have on our students and look forward to celebrating the incredible accomplishments of our team members. Full details of the awards program are in the flyer below.

The first round of Awards will be presented to Year 12 students at the Secondary Assembly on Friday, 15 March.
