No boy is permitted to wear any scroll or award earned at Preparatory/Primary School level.
GENERAL REGULATIONS FOR AWARDS
The Council will consider not only sporting ability and achievement when making Colours Awards. In this regard, the following general regulations will apply:
- Awards are made only to boys who have always demonstrated outstanding behaviour, good manners, good sportsmanship, and loyalty to their school and respective school teams.
- Awards are made only to boys who have participated fully in the life of the College - including full participation in both an official summer and an official winter sporting activity. (This regulation may be waived by the Council in respect of boys preparing for provincial / national competition in an official school activity.)
- Awards are made only to boys who have participated fully in all practices and relevant camps, tournaments, festivals and tours. Awards are made in accordance with the criteria specified in the Colours and Awards Policy and are presented at an Awards Assembly at the end of each term, unless otherwise specified.
The following awards may be made by the Sports Council:
- Merit Certificates
- Service Certificates
- Team Awards
- Junior Colours (Grades 8 and 9)
- Half and Full Colours (Grade 10, 11 and 12)
- Honours Blazers (Grade 11 and 12 but worn in Grade 12 only)
- Magna Cum Laude Blazers (Grade 12’s only)
A points system is used as a guide to decide upon the awarding of Junior, Half and Full Colours. The points system does not only recognise a boy’s specific sporting ability but also takes the following factors into account:
- Regular attendance at practices, matches, tournaments and events
- Level of participation within the activity
- Full participation in the life of the college, including full participation in a winter and summer sporting activity. This requirement may be waived by the Council in favour of those boys preparing for provincial or national representation.
- Attitude, behaviour and values displayed during competition, on and off the field
The Council reserves the right to:
- Review and/or alter the criteria on an annual basis
- Disqualify a recipient of an award for gross misconduct, within or outside of `the activity;
- Strip the recipient of an award who ceases to actively participate in an activity once he has received an award in said activity;
- Strip the recipient of an academic award when subsequent achievement reflects a gross deterioration or to strip the recipient of a sports award who ceases to actively participate in an activity once he has received an award in said activity;
- To deviate from the points system in exceptional circumstances
