OBHS Blues

By Richard Hall | Posted: Friday March 7, 2025

We would like to inform you about some important updates to the Blues criteria at our school.

What Are Blues?

Blues are prestigious awards recognising students who demonstrate excellence in academics, sports, and cultural activities. They are earned, not bought, and are considered a privilege, not a right.

General Blues Criteria

To uphold the high standards of our school, students must meet the following requirements to be eligible for a Blue:
Attendance – Students must attend at least 90% of their classes.
Effort & Attitude – A G.P.A for effort of 3.5 or higher is required.
Behavior – No serious pastoral incidents or disciplinary actions, as determined by the Rector.

Specific Blues Criteria

In addition to the general criteria, students must meet the specific requirements set for each sport, cultural, or academic activity to be considered for a Blue.

These changes ensure that the Blues remain a meaningful and well-earned recognition of dedication, hard work, and commitment to our school's values.

Thank you for your support in encouraging our students to strive for excellence!
