Holistic Development Student Recognition Awards Framework
The Holistic Development Student Recognition Awards Framework brings together the full range of holistic, academic and character awards available to all Yuying Eagles across their 4 to 5 years journey at Yuying Secondary School.
The framework is an invitation for all Yuying Eagles to grow, to strive, and to pursue personal excellence in the spirit of our motto, “Together, Achieve Personal Excellence”. Each award encourages, affirms, celebrates and honours the values and qualities that the school believes in.
As Yuying Eagles progress through their years at Yuying, the framework serves as an inspiration for students to become Lifelong Learners, Compassionate Leaders, Enterprising Changemakers and Responsible Citizens – our Desired Student Outcomes.
