Outstanding S1 Middle School Achievements

Earlier today, a formal Middle School assembly was staged in the PLHS Gymnasium to celebrate the fine Semester 1 efforts and achievements of many Year 7, 8 and 9 students. The ceremony was conducted by Deputy Principal Mrs Lesley Warren and opened with an Acknowledgement of Country delivered by Lucas Retallick, Taylah David-Mabura, Jatilia Weetra-Besant and Taylor Dodd.

The stage party also included PLHS Principal Mr Todd George – who delivered a wide-ranging address to the students – and 2022 Principal Student Leaders Nell Cane and Mitchell Paterson.

Achievement certificates were then presented to dozens of Year 7, 8 and 9 students, based on their outstanding subject grades in Semester 1. The assembly also provided an opportunity to acknowledge our Middle School student leaders (SRC representatives and House Captains) in front of the peers who elected them.

Due to COVID restrictions, this was our first formal assembly for quite some time – congratulations not only go to today’s certificate recipients, but to the entire student cohort for their excellent audience skills and participation. The staff in attendance were genuinely impressed.

ACADEMIC AWARDS

A grade point average (GPA) is calculated for each student of the school. A GPA score of 4 indicates an A grade for each subject. There are two categories of Academic Awards:

• Academic Excellence awards recognise students who have achieved a GPA of more than 3.5 (with no D or E grades) across all of their Semester 1 subjects
• Meritorious Effort awards recognise students who have achieved a GPA of at least 3 (with no D or E grades) across all of their Semester 1 subjects
