King Constantine Medal

The King Constantine medal is produced by Round Square and distributed each year to all Global member schools, usually at the Round Square International Conference. This medal is then awarded by the school to a student or staff/faculty member at a Round Square Member school’s annual prize-giving or another formal occasion. The medal is treated with the same sense of importance as the Kurt Hahn Prize or any other major award given by the school.

What is the Medal for?

This medal is presented to an exceptional individual or group of individuals from every Member School who has done unusual and outstanding work within their local or school community and truly embraces the spirit of the Round Square IDEALS.

It can be awarded for any initiative, and should not be awarded simply because the student has taken part in a service project, conference or exchange. Click here to read more about our previous winners.

Recognition

All medal recipients are recognised in the school in the same manner as any other prize winner at that school would be (e.g., picture on the wall, name on a prize board, etc.).

About His Majesty King Constantine

A former pupil of Anavryta, one of Round Square’s founding schools, King Constantine was invited to chair the first meeting of the seven schools that would form the Round Square movement, named after the building at Gordonstoun where the first conference took place in 1967. For half a century, His Majesty’s close involvement continued, first as Chair, and later as President, of Round Square, and over that time, he saw countless students participate in international conferences, service projects, exchange visits, classroom collaborations and a range of other activities, as the Round Square movement evolved from those early meetings.

About the medal

The medal has on its face the words “Round Square King Constantine Medal”, and a likeness of His Majesty King Constantine, President and Patron of Round Square.
