Semester Academic Awards & Leading the Joey’s Way
To recognise the academic efforts of individuals, students are awarded with a Gold, Silver or Bronze award, depending on their semester results.
The badges are awarded during an official Academic Excellence College Assembly.
The Gold, Silver and Bronze Badges may be worn as part of the student’s uniform. It is a symbol to be proud of wearing and something for all to aspire towards.
