The Cherrybrook Technology High School Award Scheme allows students to be rewarded for their efforts. It is a tiered scheme incorporating elements of in-class, school community and wider community activities. The scheme is progressive, increasing in expectation with each level of award. It is student-initiated, with negotiations occurring between the student and the award supervisor. Any service performed during a student’s time at school will count towards a major award. Students must negotiate and follow the guidelines set for each award.
