Growing Excellence

Admin - November 3, 2022

At Kaiapoi North School we provide many opportunities for our students to become involved in a variety of school groups. Some of these groups promote leadership opportunities, while others offer sporting, academic and cultural incentives.

We acknowledge students with a Badge or Bar if they meet the criteria which act as indicators of successful student participation. They wear these on the arms of their school uniform. A student receives a Badge for successful participation for one year and a Bar if they continue to work within that group in subsequent years.

Key criteria for successfully achieving a Badge or Bar

On occasion, some school groups may have additional criteria which are specific to that school group. Each staff member, who coordinates a group, will make clear to our students the requirements for success within their group.

  • Participation
    Students attend all practices and duties of their group, unless absent from school, or attending another school event which takes precedence. If unable to attend, students are required to notify the staff member coordinating that group. 
  • School Representation
    Participation in any school event or performance which represents that group, unless unwell or it has been discussed with the staff member involved.
  • Kaiapoi North School’s Values and Beliefs
    Students are required to demonstrate our school’s Values and Beliefs at all times.
  • AND, you may through anything else considered specific to your group, and the opportunities therein.
