Academic Reports and Stage 4 & 5 Academic Progress Awards

As we near the end of Semester One, it is essential to reflect upon the achievements of our students and celebrate their hard work, and dedication and learning in Years 7 to 10.

On Monday of Week 10 (26 June), reports will be issued to parents and carers via COMPASS. The report is an invaluable tool that allows teachers and parents to assess a student’s progress. It overviews their academic performance, highlighting their achievements in various subjects, effort, behaviour, and overall growth. 

On Tuesday 27 June 2023, the Stage 4 & 5 Progress Awards Assembly will take place and serves as an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the achievements of our students.

There will be two awards nominated by each class teacher for each subject in Years 7 to 10:

Academic Merit

Awards for consistent and/or improved effort by students. 

Academic Progress 

Awarded for high levels of academic achievement, commitment to learning and consistently strong aspiration during Semester One.

Beyond the symbolic significance of receiving an award, the Stage 4 & 5 Progress Awards Assembly is a powerful motivator for students. It reinforces the value of hard work, determination, and the pursuit of excellence. By publicly recognising student achievements, we encourage them to strive for greatness, set higher goals, and explore their full potential.

It is important to remember that the awards are not solely about recognizing the top achievers. We also value the progress and growth of each student, acknowledging their individual accomplishments and applauding their personal achievements. 

Towards the year’s conclusion, more formal awards assemblies will be held to celebrate academic achievement, to which parents, carers and the broader College community will be invited.
