First Nations scholarships
St Augustine's proudly collaborates with two organisations committed to increasing access to education for First Nations students: the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF) and The Smith Family's Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP).
AIEF and IYLP offer scholarship funding for First Nations students to complete Year 12. Both agencies provide mentoring and leadership, with career support to help the successful transition from school to employment or tertiary studies. For further details, please contact our Indigenous Liaison Officer, Bryan Carswell, on 07 4052 9135 or email him at bcarswell@cns.catholic.edu.au
Student Portal
This portal allows students to access their timetables, announcements, the College calendar, assessment planners, documents stored on One Drive, OneNote, Teams and Turnitin. There are also links to the Gildas Centre, our library, and lots more. The Student Portal is accessed via a link on student laptops and via the College website under the Portals tab on the main menu bar.
Organisation & study assistance
If your son needs help with organisational or study skills, we are here to assist and support him. He should talk to one of the following staff members:
- His homeroom teacher
- His subject teacher
- His head of year
- A college counsellor
Missing an assessment or exam
If your son is absent for a test, he will be allowed to make up the exam after the other students have sat the exam. Students are not permitted to sit exams early.
If he cannot complete and submit an assessment on time, he should speak to his teacher and request an extension, which must be done 48 hours before the due date. In extenuating circumstances, each case will be based on its merit.
Extra tuition
We offer tutorials that your son is encouraged to attend. These are advertised each term in Saints News and on the Parent Portal.
Academic awards
Academic awards are presented to students who have achieved a grade point average (GPA) of 4.25 on a five-point scale on their semester reports. All subjects are used to determine this. To meet minimum requirements, for example, a student must attain an A in two of the subjects and a B in the remaining five subjects. Subjects on rotation are averaged as one mark for GPA purposes.
Academic award ceremonies are livestreamed via SAC ASSEMBLIES the College YouTube channel.
