AMBASSADORIAL LEARNERS

A group of Grade 7 learners are selected as Ambassadorial Learners to represent the school at official functions. This can happen at any whole school assembly throughout the year. Duties and responsibilities will be shared with learners after selection.

Ambassadorial learners need to be reliable, have a positive attitude and be skilled at conversation. They need to have a visible sense of school spirit and pride. They should be involved in the extra-curricular programme. They should be accepting of other and maintain composure at all time. Learners need to meet certain criteria to become ambassadorial learners.

CRITERIA

BEING RELIABLE

A learner who we can trust to behave well, work hard, or do what we expect them to do.

A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

A learner who is positive about academics, culture and sport. This learner views others positively.

BEING SKILLED AT CONVERSATION

Doesn’t essentially need to be outgoing or extroverted. However, it is about being comfortable and skilled in one-on-one communication situations.

A SENSE OF SCHOOL SPIRIT AND PRIDE

Exhibits a feeling of strong connection to our school or being proud to represent our school and the values it stands for.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR INVOLVEMENT

Consider learners who are already involved in a variety for extracurricular activities. This way, they can collectively speak to what our school has to offer.

ACCEPTING OF OTHERS

They accept others despite differences and embrace diversity.

PROFESSIONALISM

Ambassadors act as representatives and, as such, should be able to maintain professional composure when the time or event calls for it.

HURDIAN OF THE WEEK

Any learner who excels in any particular field and has brought credit to himself/herself and the School, or who does something exceptional without being asked, can be nominated as the Hurdian of the Week at the Whole School Assemblies.

They keep the Hurdian badge for the duration of that year.

CERTIFICATES AND BADGES

Certificates and badges play a crucial role in elementary school by recognizing leat\rners'' achievements and encouraging their motivation. These tangible rewards not only celebrate hard work but also foster a sense of pride and accomplishment. By implementing such incentives, teachers can create a positive learning environment that inspires students to strive for excellence. Overall, certificates and badges contribute to a culture of achievement that benefits both learners and schools.

ACADEMIC BADGES

These badges are awarded to the learners in Grade 4 to 7 at the end of each semester. The recipients have had to maintain an academic standard of 80% plus for the semester. The recipients keep their badges until the end of the next semester.
