School Colours

Colours, Gold Certificates and Silver Awards will be awarded to students in the course of each year in recognition of academic, sporting and cultural achievements associated with the school. Colours and Gold Certificates are usually awarded to senior students but can be granted to junior students in exceptional circumstances. 

For Sporting, Cultural and Service Colours, students must apply by the due date and the decision is made by the Principal, the Assistant Principal, the Teacher in charge of that activity or the Sports Coordinator. 

All Sports, Cultural and School Service awards will be awarded in Term 4. Due to the different nature of each sport the final awarding of Sports Colours will be at the discretion of the Principal, the Assistant Principal and the Sports Coordinator. It is therefore important that you include as much information as possible about what you have done. There must also be service completed to the school for this chosen sport and it needs to be a school sport. 

Academic Colours are awarded on the basis of results in each of Year 11 and Year 12 NCEA assessments. Usually, a student gains a Silver Award in the junior school, and progresses through to Gold and Full Colours in the senior school. 

For Academic Colours, the decision will be made by the Principal working with the Academic Colours Coordinator (Deputy Principal).
