The school encourages students to strive toward the fulfillment of our school motto, "In Pursuit of Excellence". In recognition of exceptional achievement and effort, various awards and acknowledgments are presented to those who meet the established criteria.

Students achieving honors in any subject areas are posted each term, and students receive a certificate for their achievement.

Year end award ceremonies include academic, social and sport achievement. Any special awards or recognitions are presented at the same time.

Each day, one student is drawn from our "I did well" jar. The students name is announced and his or her academic or social achievement is described.

Student achievements are recognized at our motivational assemblies.

Our school has awards to honour students for excellence in academics, athletics, merit or citizenship within our school community. The awards are recognized at school assemblies and other award ceremonies.

While no formal graduation ceremony takes place at RA Reynolds, there is ongoing recognition of excellence. Each term an honour roll is drafted and celebrated. At the end of year assembly numerous awards are given out recognizing exceptional academic, sporting, and citizenship contributions to our school environment.
