In 2024, a new initiative called the ICHK Pin was launched to celebrate the values at the heart of our school. 

At ICHK, we are proud and deeply protective of our community’s values. Primarily, these are three-fold: commitment to personal growth, courage to face adversity and challenge, and sympathetic and generous support of others. Inculcating these values, by thoroughly immersing students in the culture of the school, is central to our educational project. 

Our intention is for all students to graduate with the school's endorsement as individuals committed to personal growth, courage, and supporting others. This endorsement comes in the form of the ICHK Pin.

Students can claim the Pin at any point after transitioning to senior school (end of Year 9), once they feel confident in demonstrating the school's values on a daily basis. This reflects the unique pace of each student's personal growth and character development.

The colour of the Pin depends on when it is claimed, symbolising the moment the student felt assured of their strength of character to embody these qualities. The different colours of the pin, corresponding to the moment it is claimed, add a meaningful and symbolic element to the recognition process.

A student's ability to claim and retain the ICHK Pin will be included in the school's reporting to universities in Year 13. This is seen as a vital, long-term achievement that provides valuable insight into graduates' personal qualities and dispositions.

By recognising and celebrating these values, ICHK aims to prepare students to be open-minded, responsible, courageous, and socially-minded individuals who can effectively navigate and contribute to the rapidly changing world.
