The Kurt Hahn Prize is awarded by Round Square in recognition of an exceptional act of service to others, immediate or long term, either within or without the school community. This might have been immediate, in response to a crisis or urgent need, or it might be long-term sustained community service. The aim is to acknowledge individual student achievement whilst furthering a lasting spirit of unity among all Round Square schools. The prize was donated to Round Square on 5th June 1966 by Altsalemer Vereinigung (Salem Alumni) on the occasion of Dr Kurt Hahn’s 80th birthday, in appreciation of his lifelong contribution to education.
