Sports Colours

Sports Colours may be earned by students from all year levels.

Full Colours, Gold Badges and Silver Certificates are awarded to students in the course of each year in recognition of their sporting achievements associated with the school.

Full Colours and Gold Certificates are usually awarded to senior students but can be granted to junior students in exceptional circumstances.

Usually, a student gains a Silver Certificate in the junior school, and progresses through Gold Certificates and Full Colours in the senior school.

Full Colours are awarded for excellence and outstanding achievement, combined with a valuable contribution to the school through a group or activity.

Gold Certificates are awarded for a very high standard of achievement, and for regular participation and attendance.

Silver Certificates are awarded to students who display good attitudes, are helpful and generally praiseworthy. They should show consistency, reliability, ability and responsibility in a particular sporting area.

New Zealand Colours are awarded to any student who has represented New Zealand in a sport/discipline; recipients need to participate in an international event. 

New Zealand Colours are presented at prizegiving.
