GENERAL INFORMATION

These awards are presented annually in recognition of Scholarship, Academic, Cultural, Sporting and Service achievements associated with the school.

In order to achieve comparability of standards, a points system may operate. Girls may accrue points from year to year. The number of points required for activities will vary according to the activity.

An Awards Committee consisting of the Principal, Deputy to the Principal, Assistant Principal, Curriculum, Music and Sports Directors and Teachers in Charge of Activities will make the final decisions regarding student and staff/coaches submissions. If you have any questions, please see the Teacher in Charge of the activity before submitting your application.

Accumulation of points for any award is an opportunity for the application to be considered and a guideline for the Committee. It does not automatically ensure an award. Additional awards may be granted in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the Awards Committee.

In general, awards are for Year 10 – 13 students. Exceptional performance at Years 7-9 may be recognised.

To receive an award, students must have achieved at the appropriate level, as set out in the criteria. They must also have shown dedication, commitment, given service to the school and above all have upheld the Rangi Ruru values.

Students may gain one Pocket, Colour or Elite Award per year. Re-awards must be earned; they are not automatically granted. Points required to achieve an award must be re-accumulated. Generally, excess points achieved for an original award, are not able to be reused. However, in some instances Pocket points may be a pre-requisite for Colours awards and can be carried through from a previous year.

Application forms are available on Rangi Life. Information as to when they are required will be in the Daily Notices.

Academic Scholarship Awards based on NCEA are awarded in Term 1. All others are awarded in Terms 2, 3 & 4.

Awards Identification

Recognition of awards is indicated by the wearing of a strip defining the activity achieved together with a date strip, below the pocket on the school blazer.

The level of the Award is recognised as follows:

Pocket – Navy strip pale blue wording with date

Colours – Navy strip gold wording with date

Elite Performance – Gold strip navy wording with date

Elite Service – Navy strip white wording with date.

Pocket Award

A Pocket Award monogram with a gold laurel leaf and blue RR is worn on the blazer in place of the RR monogram when a student acquires the Pocket Award. Students only receive one Pocket monogram.

Wearing of Colours and Pockets

The strip should be sewn so that it is lined up with the outside gold curve of the sports pocket. The first strip is to be sewn on the pocket and any further ones in line with it underneath the pocket.


Any re-awards should be sewn alongside the strip

Pocket Awards should be sewn on first, Colours Awards underneath

If you have not already received a blazer pocket you may collect one from Ms Fogarty, at a cost of $8.00

Awards are sewn onto the blazer starting immediately below the pocket; further awards are placed beneath the first award

Applications for Academic pockets and Colours are made to Ms Collins, Assistant Principal, Curriculum on the Academic Awards Application Form available on Rangi Life. Awards can be accrued in more than one calendar year. A pocket must be gained first to be eligible for a Colour Award.

Scholarship Awards

Scholarship Awards are available to students for national results gained in one year. The awards are based on a percentage of Excellence grades out of the total possible for a student’s five best subjects. For example, a student with 18 Excellence grades out of a total possible of 22 would have 81.1%. Total possible Excellence grades will vary between subjects.

If a student is studying at a higher level, the degree of difficulty is recognised by a reduction in the total Excellence figure for that student. For example, a Level 2 student with 18 Excellence grades out of 22 but who was studying a Level 3 subject as part of that would have the total grades reduced by 1 grade to acknowledge the higher level study.
