GPA Score Calculations

Calculating the GPA

Semester 2, 2018 GPA calculations are now available on the College portal.

Using the Semester results we calculate a Grade Point Average (GPA) for students in Years 9 to 11, 2018.  This score represents the overall average a student achieves for the semester.  Scores ranges between 10-0. 

For example,  a student to achieve a GPA score of 9 it would suggest they were typically scoring high in that area or for a student to achieve a GPA score of 5.5 would suggest the student is performing in the middle range.

The GPAs are published on the Portal and are therefore available to students, teachers and parents.  Students with the assistance of their teachers and parents are encouraged to set their goals for individual improvement over time.

Four GPA Scores are listed each semester with the following headings:

Semester 2         -  GPA

Semester 2         -  GPA (English/Humanities)

Semester 2         -  GPA (Maths/Science)

Semester 2         -  GPA (The Arts)

How the GPA is calculated

GPA is calculated from the grades received for assessment tasks. For example, 90% = 9 or 12/20 = 60% = 6. A UG or N score receives a 0. These results are then averaged for the subject groupings.

Note:

• ‘S’ and ‘NA’ results do not count in the GPA calculation
• Religion is under English/Humanities

The overall GPA also takes into account the language results which do not fit into one of the other three categories. Hence the overall GPA is not just the average of the three subject groupings.
