Elementary Graduation Awards

Elementary Graduation Awards

When children feel good about themselves and their capabilities, they shine with confidence and pride. This is the premise we have adopted at Wesley Christian Academy – to acknowledge our students for doing something well! From making the right choices, improving their behaviour, helping others, or excelling in academic work, we want our students to feel loved, supported and recognized. At the annual graduation, various awards are presented to the students and may include:
  • Bible Character Trait Awards – These awards are given to select students to recognize them for various traits as exemplified by various characters in the Bible, including:
    • The David Award for Leadership
    • The Nehemiah Award for Perseverance
    • The Ruth Award for Loyalty
    • The Paul Award for Stewardship
    • The Barnabas Award for Encouragement
    • The Daniel Award for Integrity
    • The Jonathan Award for Friendship
  • ACE (Attitude, Cooperation and Excellence) Award – This award is given to the student who has shown consistency in attitude towards work and school, a cooperative spirit and excellence in effort. One ACE award is given per class in each grade.
  • General Proficiency Award – This award is given to the student with the highest academic average in each grade.
  • Gauss Mathematics Awards – These awards are given to our top performers in Grades 7 & 8 in the annual University of Waterloo’s Gauss Mathematics Contests.
  • Athlete of the Year – This award is given to one male and one female athlete to recognize their athleticism, participation in multiple school teams, his/her sportsmanship, team spirit and support for others as deemed by the athletics department.
  • Musician of the Year – This award is given to one male and one female student to recognize his/her musical contributions to the life at Wesley. It could be through performing with the Worship Team, playing the music at the annual Christmas concert/ play production, accompanying the choir, or any other musical endeavour.
  • Principal’s Award – This award is given to students who have made a significant difference in the community life at Wesley as deemed by the principal.
Whether it is informally in the classroom or formally in front of the entire Wesley family at the Graduation and Awards Ceremony, special recognition is important for children to earn and see in order to develop self-confidence, courage, and the desire to improve with every opportunity.
