2025 LifeLink Day for Primary Schools Special Prize & Award
I am delighted to announce a very Special Prize & Award will be presented to just one (1) primary school which Bishop Sproxton and I will select as having best achieved the goals of LifeLink Day this year.
THE PRIZE:
Bishop Sproxton and I will personally visit the winning school (together with a few other special guests) to present the award during November 2025… before the end of the school year.
The date will be discussed and confirmed with the winning school after the October 2025 deadline closes – see notes below.
THE AWARD:
We will present the winning school with a magnificent ‘Spirit Award’ to be displayed proudly for visitors, teachers, parents and students at your school.
The newly designed award will acknowledge the school’s tremendous support for the educational and fundraising goals of LifeLink Day.
This will become an annual award from this year onwards.
JUDGING CRITERIA:
- The School which best establishes a prominent ‘Jubilee Gallery’ that engages with the whole school community.
- What inclusions the school made and how they were presented within the Jubilee Gallery.
- How did your school share information about the work of our LifeLink agencies (and how the Church responds to people in need) with the whole of school community – teachers, students, parents.
- What special fundraising event did your school develop for LifeLink Day 2025.
– Provide photos, videos and information.
The Case for Support
We want you to tell us why your school should be the recipient of the Archbishop’s and Bishop’s Award for 2025?
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Applications for inclusion in the Archbishop’s and Bishop’s Prize & Award
must be received by the LifeLink Office by no later than 1 October 2025. - The Spirit Award will be presented to any Archdiocesan school irrespective of location. Regional schools will not be disadvantaged as a result of distance.
- The Spirit Award will not focus on how much money was raised by an individual school although consideration of each school’s fundraising efforts, student numbers, amount raised, and the school’s geographical location will be considered.
