The achievements of MLMC students in the first semester of the year were recently celebrated and acknowledged, with six separate award ceremonies (one for each year level) held in Centennial Hall over the first two weeks of Term 3. Both Academic Awards for excellence in learning and Merit Awards for a positive approach to learning and giving your best were presented.
Recipients of Academic Awards display:
- academic excellence
- personal organisation
- a positive contribution to the learning environment
- originality and creativity
- enthusiasm for the subject.
The 85% average is a weighted average. Each faculty determines how this average is calculated based on the number and nature of assessments.
Merit Awards are limited to a maximum of four per class and are awarded to students who demonstrate enthusiasm to study, consistency in effort, punctuality, completion of homework, meeting task due dates and a cooperative approach to others.
Some of the top Academic Award achievers from each year level are pictured.
In Year 7, Maxine Flamsteed received 10 Academic Awards and one Merit Award. Year 8 students Baxter Lill and Danielle Gazzola each picked up 10 Academic Awards. Connor Taylor received nine Academic Awards in Year 9. Paula Del Giudice and Chloe Rickard from Year 10 each received seven Adademic Awards and one Merit Award.
In Year 11, Lara Griffin-Krenn and Alana McGurgan each received six Academic Awards and one Merit Award, while four Academic Awards and one Merit Award each went to Year 12 students Ana Malnar and Jordan Schuyt.
