AWARDS CEREMONY YEARS 7-10

On Tuesday August 1, Marian Catholic College held the awards ceremony for Year 7 to 10. During the award ceremony, the students received academic awards, Merit awards, Marian awards and Principal awards.

Subject academic awards are awarded on academic achievement in a given subject. In Years 7 to 10, those students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement are acknowledged with an Honours Award.

Merit awards are awarded to students who have consistently demonstrated a positive attitude and application in a subject. Only 2 merit awards can be issued per class in any given subject. Marian awards are awarded to a student for sound effort and commitment to studies, across all subjects, and shown respect for school values and expectations. Principal awards are awarded for outstanding academic achievement across all subjects.

Our Principal Mr Alan Le Brocque, examined the overall semester results for Years 7-10 with the corresponding grades last year and he found that they compared favourably. He found there was also a very similar comparison with Semester 2 results last year. This further highlights that our standards are consistent. This consistency builds learning confidence and with learning, confidence, hope, optimism and ultimately personal and group success will be attained.

The Year 10 into 11 Subject Selection Process is in full swing.
