Based on a single school year, there are four levels of awards:
​Bronze Award - upon attaining 10 individual awards, students are presented with a bronze medallion at assembly.
​Silver Award - upon attaining 20 individual awards, students are presented with a silver medallion at assembly.
​Gold Award - upon attaining 30 individual awards, students are presented with a gold medallion at assembly.


Platinum Awards are given to students who achieve 40 individual awards over the year. The award is presented at Presentation Night at the end of the year, and students are awarded a certificate and a glass, engraved trophy.
Principal's Award - this is selected by the Principal and is awarded to a student who exemplifies our school values in all aspects of school life. This financial award is presented at our annual Presentation Night in December.
