Awards Assemblies – Grade 9
Today we will be recognizing students for their many contributions and successes here at Delta Secondary School. Students are recognized for their school service, fine arts contributions, athletic accomplishments and academic achievements.
Students receive service awards for school service, club involvement, S. Gov, first responders and the Delta Youth Advisory Council contributing to the school on their own time and with few tangible benefits to him or herself.
Service awards are given at varying levels depending on the amount of time contributed. Whether the award is for basic service, outstanding service or our highest level distinguished service (achieved by contributing 100+ hours), we are extremely proud of our service award winners.
Fine Arts awards are given to students involved in extra-curricular activities in the areas of Art, Music and Drama. These awards are given for excellence and are not participatory awards. These individuals will have shown outstanding ability, leadership and cooperation when participating in these voluntary endeavours. As with our service awards, there are varying levels of distinction for the students’ contributions in fine arts.
Athletic awards are presented to students who have demonstrated ability, leadership, and cooperation in practice and at games. We recognize two levels of athletic prowess, outstanding achievement in athletics and excellence in athletics. As a school, we celebrate with and recognize the effort required for all of our athletic team accomplishments.
Department awards recognize the top achieving student in the course. At the junior grade levels, up to a maximum of 5 awards per course can be given. Whether an academic, fine arts or applied skill course, the top student is to be congratulated for their outstanding achievement.
Merit awards recognize students who have displayed a significant and sustained improvement in effort, attitude and social skills in the classroom. We applaud these students for their hard work and determination.
Major Awards
• Athlete of the Year - The Athlete of the year is presented to the student-athlete who, as evaluated by their coaches and the Athletic Department has best demonstrated: ability, attendance, sportsmanship and leadership.
• Leon Ladner Award - On April 13, 1960 the Ladner Family set up a trust at Delta Secondary School to provide an annual award of a gold medal for the student in each grade with the highest standing in general proficiency during the year. This award is given to students from Grades 8 to 12. We also recognize two finalists for each grade.
• Award of Excellence - This award is given to the top all-around student of each grade. Winners must be on the honour roll, attain extracurricular excellence, contribute service to the school or community and have positive relations with the staff and students of DSS. The grade 12 award is sponsored by Bill Kushnir.
