Good Citizens Award

Good Citizens Award for Scholars 2017/18

Nearly thirty years ago the Club decided to encourage and recognise young people who contributed something to the community within their school, local community or wider.

Over time circumstances have changed, the main one being that in some instances more than one pupil is deemed worthy of the prize and in other cases it could be a whole team of pupils. As a result a single book token was considered to be inappropriate so a cash award was given to each school for the money to be used as considered most suitable. 

As a further innovation, this year we have introduced the availability of a Certificate to be presented to each pupil involved, including a citation confirming the reason for the award.

There are sixteen Primary Schools and two Secondary Schools in our catchment area and we are delighted that every one of them took part this year. What is most surprising is the number of reasons for making the awards, illustrating originality, and some showing compassion. It is obvious that we have many parents and schools who are bringing up and educating young people who are an asset to the community and those involved should be proud of their achievements.
