RECOGNITION OF STUDENT SUCCESS MERIT SYSTEM The College has established a merit system designed to recognise both student’s achievements and positive behaviours. The system encourages students to set goals and work hard to achieve them. Mertis are issued based on one of the four Mooroolbark College school values. RESPECT COMPASSION ENDEAVOUR RESILIENCE Students need to collect five merits in each Value in order to achieve Value Award (ie: five individual merits for Respect = Respect Value Award). To achieve a Principal's Award, students much achieve a Values Award in all four school values. When a student achieves a Pricipal's Award, it is acknowledged through a presentation at a college general assembly. It also earns 50 points for their house towards the prestigeous House Cup. COLLEGE AWARDS PRESENTATION At the conclusion of the College year students’ performance and endeavour, throughout the year, is recognised and celebrated at the Annual Awards Presentation Evening. Awards are presented to students in the following areas: • Academic Achievement • PTCA Endeavour and Citizenship • College Sports • Sports Champions • Music Involvement • Leadership • Year Level Dux RESPECT MERIT COMPASSION MERIT ENDEAVOUR MERIT RESILIENCE MERIT RESPECT MERIT RESPECT MERIT RESPECT MERIT RESPECT MERIT RESPECT MERIT RESPECT VALUE AWARD RESPECT VALUE AWARD COMPASSION VALUE AWARD ENDEAVOUR VALUE AWARD RESILIENCE VALUE AWARD PRINCIPAL AWARD YEAR 7 & 8 ADMINISTRATIVE & COURSE HANDBOOK CONTE NTS 23
