The Rangitoto Summit Diploma is aimed at supporting and challenging our Year 9 and 10 students. There are three levels of achievement within the diploma:
- White: first level
- Red: second level
- Blue: highest level
Students must attain five of the six diploma categories to be awarded each level. The categories are:
1. Academic achievement: gaining excellence grades in tests, assessments and exams.
For students studying courses Y11 and beyond a merit (M) or excellence (E) achievement that is captured on their school report will count towards their academic achievement.
2. Academic progress: improving academic performance through academic growth.
3. Extra-curricular activities such as clubs and activities or sports: being involved in activities outside the classroom.
4. Service or leadership opportunities: giving back to the school and community.
The number of service hours needed for each level is:
White = 5 hours
Red = 5 additional hours
Blue = 5 additional hours
Service Outside of the College:
Students are to contact their Deputy Principal who will determine if this service qualifies.
5. Attendance: having high attendance rates to support learning.
6. Behaviour: behaviour that supports academic engagement and success.
