We\u2019re pleased to announce the launch of Blue Cards for students in Years 9 and 10, beginning in Term 3, a new initiative within our Pastoral Care programme that formally recognises and rewards positive conduct, character, and contribution to the Shore community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This development builds on the long-standing tradition of\u00a0Pink Cards, first introduced by Shore\u2019s founding Headmaster,\u00a0Mr E.I. Robson, as a badge of honour for good work and conduct in Years 7 and 8. Pink Cards are awarded weekly during Friday House Meetings, and collecting\u00a0ten in a Term\u00a0earns a student a\u00a0Headmaster\u2019s Award. We must also give a respectful nod to\u00a0Mr D.F. Myles (’52), the undisputed original Pink Card king, who earned\u00a031 cards in a single year\u00a0between 1946\u20131947. A record that still inspires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, with the introduction of Blue Cards, students in Years 9 and 10 will be recognised in the same spirit. These cards will be awarded weekly in House Meetings and will contribute towards Headmaster\u2019s Awards at the end of each Term. From 2026, both Pink and Blue Cards will also become part of the House Colours process, with more details to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This initiative was developed in response to thoughtful feedback from both the Student Committee and teaching staff. It replaces the credit points system, which had gradually faded in Years 9 and 10, and reflects our commitment to fostering a culture of respect, integrity, and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re excited to begin this new chapter in partnership with students and staff and look forward to celebrating the many ways our boys demonstrate character and work in the months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
