College Assembly-Awards

Two special College awards were introduced in 2008 to recognise student ACHIEVEMENT AND EFFORT from Semester Reports. At the College Assembly on Wednesday 19 July, Academic Distinctions and Ad Omnia Paratus Awards were presented.

The Ad Omnia Paratus Award-“Prepared for all Good Works” recognises the LEARNING BEHAVIOURS of students. It is awarded to students who have achieved 85% of EXCELLENT ratings in attributes such as Application, Behaviour, Completion of Assigned Tasks and Organisation. None of the attributes were rated at satisfactory or below.

Academic Distinctions

Academic Distinctions are awarded to students in Years 7, 11 and 12 for a majority of A grades with no grades less than a B (e.g. minimum of As and 2 Bs).

A points system was introduced in Semester 2, 2016 to calculate Academic Distinctions in Years 8 to 10. It takes into consideration the stream that a student is studying. Points are calculated using:

                   Extension          Mainstream            Enrichment         Unstreamed

  A:                    10                             7                                   4                              10

  B:                      9                             6                                    3                               9

  C:                      8                             5                                     2                              8

The cut-off to achieve an Academic Distinction using this new points system is 100 points.
