Merit certificates

Merit card/awards system policy

  • The system is a tiered system spanning a student's whole school career at Murray Farm Public School.
  • The tiered system is where certificates are traded for the next level of award.
  • The system rolls over from year to year, beginning from 2008 and the onus for keeping and trading awards is with the student.
  • A Senior Executive will administer the trading of certificates for each of the levels, carefully documenting and authenticating the traded certificates.                      
  • Merit Certificates will be given by each class teacher – Kindergarten to Year 6 and these will be awarded at the fortnightly assemblies.

The system of exchange is as follows:

  • Four Merit Certificates = One Student Achievement Award
  • Two Student Achievement Awards = One Outstanding Achievement Award
  • Two Outstanding Achievement Awards =  One Star Award (To be presented at a Principal's Morning Tea)
  • Any subsequent Outstanding Achievement Award = Super Star Award (to be presented by the School Education Director at a Special Assembly).
