Schools can choose to share students' positive pastoral records — merits and awards — with the students themselves and with their caregivers, through a Student Awards page in the student and caregiver portals. Visibility is decided by the school: student access and caregiver access are enabled separately, so you can show awards to students only, caregivers only, or both. These options must be enabled for your school — contact support to turn them on.

What is shared
Only positive pastoral records are shown — merit and award entries with a merit type and points, recorded through your school's positive behaviour tracking. Problem behaviour and support records are never shown on this page.
What students and caregivers see
When enabled, a Student Awards menu item appears in the portal. Students see their own awards; caregivers see their child's. The page shows:
- Total Points and Total Points This Year at the top.
- A summary table with Merit Type, Total Points and Points This Year, ordered by total points.
- A diary-style list of the individual awards, grouped by month. Each award card shows the merit type and date, the Points awarded (with a star that scales with the points value), Awarded by (the staff member), Awarded on, any Comment, and download links for any file attachments.
- Two filters — Merit Type (all types, with record counts) and Awarded by (any staff member, with counts) — to narrow the list.
If there is nothing to show, the page reads No student awards to display (or No records found matching this filter when a filter excludes everything).

Deciding what your school shares
- Student visibility and caregiver visibility are two independent school-level settings — contact support to enable either or both.
- When a setting is off, the Student Awards link simply does not appear in that portal's menu.
- Students and caregivers only ever see the positive summary for their own student — the student search and staff pastoral tabs are hidden in the portal view.
