Urangan State High School recognises outstanding student achievement through the presentation of awards at
timely junctures throughout the school year. The Special Awards Policy document outlines the criteria a student needs to meet to receive each type of award, how often the award is presented, and at which event or ceremony the award is presented. It also outlines the nomination process for students and how a decision is reached, eg Special Awards. It is intended to make the process clear for the school community. Unless otherwise stated, a student needs to fulfil all of the criteria for a particular award to be considered.
This policy addresses awards where Urangan State High School holds the responsibility to:
- decide who will receive the award; and
- present the award.
This policy does not address awards that a student may achieve independent of the school or where the decision on who receives the award rests with an outside agency. (Example: AMEB Music exams, Scout Badges, Australian Mathematics Competition).
