Performance and achievements

​Over the years Buderim Mountain State School has gained itself a reputation for excellent academic achievement, and is one of the Sunshine Coast’s top performing state schools in NAPLAN testing. 

In recognition of our students' successes and participation in both class and extracurricular activities, and to continue to inspire them to work to the best of their ability, we like to reward students with either a cumulative award or a Buderim badge. These awards are presented at each year level’s parade, and we encourage parents of recipients to attend.

Cumulative Awards

Achievement awards are presented to students each week for a range of accomplishments such as respectful manners, high work effort, and excellent academic results. When a student receives three achievement awards (they do not need to be received in the same year), they can submit their awards and be presented with a Principal’s Awards. Once a student has received three Principal’s Awards they are eligible to receive a Buderim Banner. A Medallion is earned by students who have received two banners. Principal’s Awards, Banners and Medallions are all presented in week 5 and 10 of each term.

Buderim Badges

Buderim Badges are presented as a patch to be sewn on to a student’s school jacket or shirt, and are given as five categories:

Academic excellence badges are awarded in Years 1 to 4 when a student receives at least three A’s (or ‘very high’ gradings) on a report card for any of the following subjects: English, Mathematics, Science and Humantities & Social Sciences. In Years 5 & 6, a student needs to receive at least four A's on a report card for any of the following subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, Humantities & Social Sciences and Languages (Japanese).​

Effort badges are awarded when a student receives five ‘very high’ (Year 1 & 2) or ‘excellent’ (Year 3-6) gradings on their report card in any subject.

Service badges are awarded for helping, leading or teaching others, such as in the library, or upon receipt of three certificates of attendance at either the ANZAC or Australia Day parades.

Sport badges are awarded for district, regional, state or national representation.

Cultural badges are awarded for representing the school in the areas of Arts and Humanities, such as orchestra or performing troupe.
