Merit AwardOn the occasion of a pupil behaving in a way which is significantly positive, her name should be entered into the Merit File.
Examples of such behaviour may include:
- making significant effort in academic or extra-curricular activities
- making significant progress in academic or extra-curricular activities
- demonstrating clear evidence of responsibility
- demonstrating clear evidence of co-operation with others
- demonstrating clear evidence of consideration towards others
- demonstrating clear evidence of overcoming difficult circumstances
The Merit Committee will review all entries on a regular basis and decide whether to award bronze Merit badges to those pupils who are in Junior School, or Merit certificates to those pupils who are in Middle and Senior Schools.
Where a pupil has already been awarded a bronze badge, she may be considered for a silver Merit badge in a later year, and finally, if appropriate a gold Merit badge.
No more than one Merit badge or certificate may be awarded to a pupil in any one academic year.
