Awards Evening

Our first Awards Evening will be held in the Sport Hall (the Raptor Dome) on Wednesday the 28th October 2020.  Further details about this evening will be provided next Term.  The Awards Evening provides us with another opportunity to forge a strong sense of tradition at our College.  The program of Awards will develop as our College grows.  I have provided an overview of the Awards that will be presented this year below:

Subject Awards - Awarded to Student that achieves the highest academic performance in each subject.

Gold Raptor Awards- This award recognises exceptional performance across 4 criteria: GPA (Grade Point Average), Attendance, Stamps for positive behaviour and Culture (points awarded for participation in College extra curricular activities).  Each category is worth 5 points and students must achieve 18 out of 20 points to achieve a Gold Raptor Award.  We will also be awarding Silver and Bronze Raptor Awards, Silver Raptors will be recognised on Parade and Bronze Raptors will be acknowledged during Access Class.
