About this resource
The primary purpose of school superlative awards is to recognise and celebrate the unique qualities, achievements, and contributions of students within the school community. Superlative awards acknowledge students for their talents, efforts, and positive attributes. They provide validation and encouragement, boosting students' self-esteem and motivation.
Superlatives showcase the diverse talents and interests of students. By recognising different areas of excellence, schools acknowledge that success can be found in various fields, not just academics or sports. Superlatives often accompany end-of-year celebrations or yearbooks, providing students with lasting memories of their time in school. They serve as a memento of their achievements and experiences, fostering a sense of nostalgia in the future. It's important to note that superlative awards should be approached with sensitivity and fairness. They should be inclusive and avoid any potential for negative comparisons or feelings of exclusion among students. Schools should strive to create a positive and supportive environment where all students can feel valued and appreciated, regardless of whether they receive a superlative award or not.
End your school year with a bang by giving your students these 40 ready-to-print superlative awards! These awards are very visually appealing and will be a fun way to end your school year. I have included a description for each award that will help you decide which student to award the certificate to. All you have to do is print, sign/date, and you are done. I have included a PowerPoint version for you to edit or a PDF version for you to print and write on!

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Recognise students’ individual qualities and contributions through personalised award certificates.
Teaching tips
Use the five-page reference guide to match each of the roughly three dozen award descriptions to a specific student before selecting the matching certificate from the 47-item set.
Distribute awards at an end-of-year or end-of-term celebration, since the certificates are personality- and behaviour-based rather than tied to a specific unit or subject.
Review the award descriptions in advance, since a few reference real public figures by name (for example, an 'Al Gore' environmental-advocate award), and confirm they fit your classroom's norms.
Skills covered
Certificate personalisation — teachers select a fitting superlative award for each student and fill in the name, teacher, and date fields on the matching certificate.
