College Growth and Excellence Awards
This year around 200 Growth Awards were presented to students after each semester during Year Level Assemblies and is a testament to the work that our staff and students are undertaking to improve themselves and the college.
In addition to Growth, we recognise Excellence. Classroom teachers collaboratively selected the students that excelled in each subject based on the high quality or standard of work in meeting the outcomes. Most of the Excellence Award Certificates have been handed out at assemblies. The following students are those that have been recognised in 2 or more subjects.
