Awards

St Johns Park High School encourages and enables all of our students to explore, enjoy, and fulfil their potential. Our students can take advantage of several scholarships and award opportunities.

Awards and scholarships at Year 12 Graduation Ceremony

The Merit System

Student rewards consist of a series of classroom Merit Awards, Principal's Awards, pins, and medallions that are tokens, intended to reward and recognise student achievement and effort. Students progress through the Level System by collecting these awards, which can be given by any staff member, for anything, at any time. All awards accumulate over the student's high school life.
