The outstanding individual and team achievements of our students are recognised at our annual award ceremonies. Held as year level events, eligible students are recognised with awards including;
- Major Awards (Academic, Cultural, Service, Sport and General)
- Academic Awards (Academic Excellence, Academic Achievement, Subject Awards for Year 11 and 12 students)
- Cultural Awards (Music, Arts and Debating)
- Service (V@M and Production Support)
- Sports (including age champions).
All parents/caregivers and students will receive an email at the end of Term 3 providing an opportunity to confirm if their child is eligible for an Academic, Cultural, Service or Sports award.
The eligibility for an award can be confirmed by referring to the
Awards Handbook 2024.pdf where the nomination and decision process, along with the ceremony where it is presented and the type of recognition received is stated for each award.
If after checking the criteria, a parent/caregiver or student believes that they are eligible for an award which is not listed, the email includes the process to address this concern. Please check the criteria to determine eligibility before making a query and follow this up promptly so that it can be investigated. The deadline for submitting a query will be advised when emails are sent.
Recipients of Major Awards are announced at the ceremony and where possible, kept as a surprise for the student. School administration will invite the parent/caregivers of the award recipient to the ceremony so that they have the opportunity to be present when the award is announced.
The school dux is announced at the Exceptional Achievement Ceremony which is held the year following Year 12 graduation, after student results are known and students have finalised their post school plans for the year.
