Dear Co-Teachers,

As last year, we will give an individualised award to every student which celebrates an area they have tried hard or excelled at over the year.

With this in mind, we have prepared the award template. These awards should be shared at class parties in the last week. More info on the format of class parties will follow.

You will find the templates for these certificates below (separate templates for RP and CP)

Action points

  • Create a certificate for each student with their name and the reason for their award, by changing the names and reason currently on the template.  You can work with specialists and EAL teachers (if relevant and necessary) to find an appropriate reason. You can use the comments from the specialists for the reports to help you.
  • Teachers who are away from Shanghai need to work with their co-teacher to complete this task and then send to the colleagues in Shanghai to print.
  • Make sure you insert both co-teachers’ names at the bottom of the certificate, and change the class name in the middle.
  • Please ensure that the reason for the certificate starts with “For….”.
    E.G: For always being willing to ask for help when she needs it
  • The reason should be appropriate and reflect something positive they have done or worked at this year. A set of sample reasons is attached for your reference below.
  • The reason should not be “jokey”-e.g “For being the biggest chatterbox”. Find something genuine to celebrate.
  • Please give an individualised reason for each student.
  • Once you have typed up your certificates, send a soft copy of them to one of your colleagues to proofread. Please ensure you do not send certificates home with any errors or typos.
  • This year we ask you to print these yourself.  Please get the nice paper from the office to do so.
  • Give the certificates out at your party.
