Koru Awards
Throughout the year students can earn koru badges which are a fabric “flash” that is sewn onto their shirt. There are seven different koru badges- ‘Dark Blue’ for sports, ‘Black’ for service and attendance, ‘Yellow’ for cultural, ‘Light Blue’ for virtues, ‘Red’ for academic and ‘White’ for outstanding achievement. A class academic koru is awarded every week for effort or achievement; students will earn others for commitment to sports teams or cultural activities over a season; for accumulating ten cornerstone or virtues cards; outstanding achievements e.g. winning a place at the Waikato Science Fair or their team winning the Saturday netball competition; for service to the school e.g. Road Patrol and full attendance for a term.
There is also the opportunity to earn “advanced koru” awards – a metal badge at bronze, silver, gold and platinum levels. These awards have been established to provide a consistent and visible way of students demonstrating their achievements in a range of areas of school life. This assists students with goal setting and achievement as they require koru in each area to earn the advanced awards.
