Academic Excellence Awards
One of our College traditions for Nazareth Day is the presentation of the Academic Excellence awards. The Academic Excellence in Learning Award is given to students in Years 7 – 12 and acknowledges students who are achieving overall grades of an excellent standard. Students are nominated based on College reporting data, and Academic Excellence awards are given to the top ten students of each year level. Laurel subjects and students undertaking VCE acceleration have additional weighting granted to these results when calculating the rankings in order to recognise the higher academic standard for these subjects. The top ten ranked students received a certificate and were sent a letter to acknowledge their achievement and the possibility of receiving the D’Astoli Trophy at the year’s conclusion. The D’Astoli Trophy – named in honour of Nazareth College’s founding Principal – is Nazareth College’s most prestigious academic award, acknowledging the top-ranked academic student in each of Years 7 – 12 at the conclusion of the year.
This year, we have had to do things differently. The names of students who have achieved Academic Excellence in Semester 1 2020 were read out at our first full school Zoom Assembly.
