Stella Maris Leadership Award

Your journey begins today

The Stella Maris Leadership Award aims to help students shine and thrive to be well-rounded individuals. All students work towards the Gold level, and through the teachings in Core RE, supported by the curriculum and tutorials, they learn about the virtues and how these can be acquired through deliberate acts.

Endorsed and supported by all UK Catholic Universities


What is the Stella Maris Leadership Award?

The Stella Maris Leadership Award, based on the Intellectual, Moral, Civic, and Performance Catholic virtues, is now a nationally recognised programme. We designed the award to cultivate the habits and virtues in students necessary to be well-rounded individuals who can meet the challenges of the 21st century, navigate life, and demonstrate stewardship. Ultimately, the aim is for each member of the College community to practice the virtues to become 'my best self', to develop good sense or practical wisdom, and to reflect on how to be shining lights of good character.

There are three levels of the award: bronze, silver and gold. Each student will be expected to gain at least the bronze level by the time they leave College. Each award will be recognised by a star shaped badge, and certificate.
