School Awards?

[costargh]

Anyone here been nominated this year for school awards; academic, sporting, community or other?

[jsimmo]

Nominated? Nope. All my school awards are based off VCAA results (hence, our valedictory dinner is the night after results day). Have you been nominated for something?

[cara.mel]

I got:
School maths prize
The someone memorial prize for science (2 people from each campus get these)

and also the very elusive 'school library prize' which only 1 person gets/year which is probably the least prestigious award of the lot but hey I have an award for service to the school which demonstrates my willingness to help others yada yada I am happy to ride this

Never got any general academic achievement ones because I obviously am not good in all areas (they made me think I failed at english pretty much)

I got sent a letter saying I'd received an award for excellence in year 12 psychology and literature. It will be presented to me at speech night. So, yeah. I'm excited

*Now waits for Costa to tell everyone his exciting news...*

Yeah, I got nominated for the technology award. But I really wanted the maths one.

we have an awards night the day after we find out our results. we get a letter the week before saying if we have won anything. in the letter it says you have been nominated but doesn't say what for.
last year i got 3 excellence awards and dux for yr 11

My school gives awards for each subject, but we don't find out until afew days before speech night(after exams).

However, speech night is in November so they won't know our results. I assume they just base it on SAC's, attitude etc.

Same here, speech night in early December though.

In year 12 I got Dux, an English award, general academic achievement, academic endeavor, and female swimming champion. There was also a mention of my university award. Apart from dux, all of these were awarded before results came out.

My school gives out 'excellence' awards based on your SAC scores in a subject, and probably some other random awards.

Our valedictory is next friday :O
I am getting a maths award, but i don't know what else
it's very exciting though.

[costargh]

LOL, jess it's not that exciting. I wanted to see what other people were nominated for if they had awards like our school.

Our school nominates students from years 7-12 for all areas of study (ie. maths, technology, arts etc) based on our results throughout the year.

This year I was nominated for the humanities award (the faculty in charge of VCE Accounting, Economics, Business Management, Legal Studies and lower year/s commerce).

Awards night is next Thursday, 2 days after year 12 is over. If I don't win it I'm gonna kick a hissy fit haha

[misskaraleah]

We have our Val before we get our results, and we have our 'award ceremony' on december 15th.

Btw- what actually goes on at a valedictory dinner? People i have spoken to are being very vague, they just say that people eat, give awards etc. What awards to they actually have?
