What is ECHA?
• Edusave Character Award
• Through this award, we want to recognise
students for demonstrating exemplary values
and civic responsibility through their
behaviour and actions.

Citizens .
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for students who, on a consistent basis,
demonstrate :
1) School values and/or character traits such as team
work, respect, responsibility, integrity, pride, care and
harmony;
2) A high level of civic responsibility. These would be
students who are concerned about issues in the

action to address these issues to improve the lives of
others, and being committed to make a positive

Value: Integrity
Janice has a sense of uprightness, honesty and justice.
Once her teacher had given her more marks than she
deserved, she informed the teacher. Though marks would
be deducted, she knew that was the right thing to do.
Whenever Janice has made a mistake and done wrong,
she would own it up to the teacher before being
questioned. Her honesty sets a good example for the
class.
GOOD EXAMPLE!
