Student Concern Letters and Commendation Certificates – Term 1
The issuing of the Term 1 Reports will provide parents with an overview of their son’s academic progress for Term 1. The College will also be undertaking the following steps to monitor and congratulate students based on their level of academic progress in Term 1.
- Students of Concern – those students who receive an Overall D.S.E result of below 65% have been identified as a Student of Concern. Therefore, a Concern Warning letter will be sent home to those respective parents requiring them to contact their son’s Pastoral Coordinator to set up a meeting where their sons academic application and progress for Term 2 and beyond will be discussed
- Students of Commendation – those students who receive an Overall D.S.E result above 85% will be acknowledged with a Commendation certificate for their positive academic application in Term 1 across all of their subjects. These students will be formally acknowledged and received their certificates in Pastoral meetings in Weeks 1 and 2 of Term 2.
