GENERAL CRITERIA FOR ALL AWARDS
- Awards will be given for main areas: ACADEMIC; ACHIEVEMENT; SPORT; CULTURAL; SERVICE and DEPORTMENT.
- A girl is not eligible for an award if she does not participate at school in the activity in which she has achieved if the activity is offered at school. However, she could be eligible for a Principal’s Award.

Submission of Nominations for awards
All proposed awards to be made are to be submitted by the teachers in charge of the particular activity to the person listed under the specific area. This person then checks that all the awards have been motivated correctly and that the necessary proof has been attached. This person then submits the proposed awards to the Head of Awards.
