Dear Co-Teachers,
Like last year, we will give an individualized 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.
You will find the templates for these certificates below (separate templates for RP and CP)
Action points
End of Year Certificates
- Create a certificate for each student with their name and the reason for their award, by changing the names and reasons 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.
- Make sure you insert both co-teachers’ names at the bottom of the certificate.
- 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. Possible Encouragement Award Reasons
- 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.
- Once certificates are completed, class teachers can collect good paper from the office for printing.
Leaving Certificates
- Students who are leaving at the end of the school year, please can you present to them the Leaving Certificate also. This can be presented at the class party or the last Year Level Assembly.
- Once certificates are completed, class teachers can collect good paper from the office for printing. In previous years, class teachers have put a couple of photos on the back of this certificate and students have signed their name. Please decide as a year level.
