The inaugural Mid-Year Academic Awards were recently presented to St Mark’s students to recognise outstanding academic results in the first semester.
Students who achieved High Distinction grades were invited to the Awards Ceremony to celebrate their outstanding commitment to their studies and developing a superior understanding of the subject material.
Those who achieved multiple High Distinction grades were awarded a Commendation or Special Commendation in recognition of their level of academic excellence by the Dean and Master of St Mark’s respectively.
Whilst recognising students for their achievements the Director of Learning, Ashley Files shared that “… although study is often a solitary pursuit, every student of this College is part of a single collective of students. Largely, you are in the same boat together. Largely, you share the same experiences and the same ambitions. You can therefore do each other a great service, by supporting each other in your shared experiences and endeavours.”
