Lasallian Awards at St Simon Stock

Students at St Simon Stock Catholic School are being encouraged to take part in the Lasallian Awards initiative which has recently been introduced at the school.

The Lasallian Awards work similarly to that of the Duke of Edinburgh Award and Faith in Action Awards which the school organises for older year groups. Students will be asked to complete one activity from each Core Principle to receive the Bronze Award. Students can choose whichever activities they would like to do but they must do one from every category.

The activities list (see below) can all be completed at home following government guidelines. If students have an idea for their own category, they can e-mail chaplain Lauren Bassett to get confirmation that it will count.

Once they have completed an activity they will need to take a picture of it or do a write up on it to use as evidence. Only once they have completed all five activities must they put together all their evidence into one document and attach it on to Microsoft Teams in their Reflection Teams.

Once the information has been received by Ms Bassett the student will receive a badge and their name will go into a prize draw for a £20 Amazon Voucher. Then, students will then get the opportunity to go for the Silver Award (three activities from each category) and Gold Award (five activities from each category).

Stay tuned for more information - in the lead up to this year’s Founders Day/Week (May 10-14, 2021) the District will be adapting and extending this model of Lasallian Awards to all schools in the District. More information on how to participate and the prizes available will be launched in April 2021.
