Our students can take advantage of several scholarship and award opportunities.
Silver certificates, Gold certificates, Awards of Excellence and Awards of Distinction are for consistent, reliable and responsible behaviour and good work habits.
Awards accumulate through the grades:
5 Orange = 1 Silver
5 Silver = 1 Gold
2 Gold = Award of Excellence
3 Gold = Award of Distinction
Citizenship awards are also given to students who display our school's core values. This award is equivalent to 2 orange awards.
Once a student receives an Award of Distinction, they are offered the opportunity to strive for higher recognition.
The Nanga Mai Awards are an annual event organised by Aboriginal Education and Communities Directorate. The awards recognise and celebrate innovation, excellence and educational achievement in Aboriginal education in NSW public schools, school communities and department directorates.
The Premier’s Spelling Bee is an annual competition that encourages primary school students in Years 3 to 6 to develop their spelling skills in a fun and educational way. Students are selected at school level to take part in regional finals. Regional winners then compete in the state final.
This Premier’s Reading Challenge encourages students from Kindergarten to Year 9 to develop a love of reading and plays an important role in developing literacy.
The Premier’s Debating Challenge is open to students from Year 5 to 12. Teams compete in a round robin series of debates against other schools. The winners go on to compete at regional and state level to determine the eventual state champion.
The Arts Unit offers public speaking competitions for NSW school students. Each competition is a great opportunity for students to develop their speech-writing and presentation skills while representing their schools in a state-wide competition.
The Premier’s Anzac Memorial Scholarships are an opportunity to visit significant overseas sites associated with Australia’s participation in war for Years 10 and 11 students in selected schools.
The Duke of Edinburgh Award provides an internationally recognised, self-development program for people aged 14 to 25. The program equips young people with the opportunity to undertake a variety of voluntary and challenging activities.
