The ‘Meritus’ award is a highly regarded system of recognition within St John’s. The award recognizes the all-round contribution of a pupil in all areas of school life, including curricular, extra curricular, sporting, the arts and altruism.

The award is recognized at a special assembly by way of a written citation and certificate presented by the Headmaster and a formal lunch with the Headmaster at the end of each term.

The ‘Meritus’ award is recorded on each boy’s file for his remaining time at St John’s.
