Each term, the College acknowledges a limited number of boys by awarding them with “Excellence in Effort” awards. These awards are presented by the headmaster and are one of the most prestigious awards that a Year 7 boy can achieve.
In order to receive one of these awards, a student must be nominated by three of his teachers. What makes it difficult, however, is that teachers are only allowed to nominate three boys from their class. Therefore, for a boy to be nominated by three of his teachers is an exceptional achievement.
What I love about these awards is that any boy in the form is able to achieve one of these awards. They are not based on progress or results but rather the attitude and effort of the boys. It is wonderful to see a wide range of boys being nominated each term.
Congratulations to the following boys who were awarded Excellence in Effort awards for Term 3:
On Thursday at the College’s Headmaster’s Assembly, Mr Tarlinton presented these boys with with their awards in front of the whole school and all the staff. This is obviously a special occasion and we congratulate each of the boys who received the award, with some of them being nominated by up to six teachers!
