Sleeve Badges
Students can earn badges for many different things.
If you in a team, event or a group of students once you have completed 2 terms of service (e.g as a Librarian) or completed an event (e.g. Cricket Zone Day) the teacher in charge of the event will email the list of participants to Mrs Dalton who will arrange your badge.
Badges and certificates will be created and handed out at assembly. The exception for this is Grooming badges. Team Leaders will hand these out in class.
Sleeve Badges should be on one sleeve for each year; e.g. Year 7 on the Right Sleeve and Year 8 on the Left.
House Badges
When you start each year, your whānau teacher will put you into house groups. Each student gets 2 badges, one for their sleeve on their jumper and one on their PE uniform. This can be ironed on the sleeve of their PE shirt.
House Captains and Vice House Captains receive a sleeve badge as well for their service. House Captains also receive a pin to wear on their school jacket.
