REACH

All year 9 and year 10 students are part of the REACH academic programme at Aquinas College. This programme operates like a junior diploma where each subject contributes points towards a grand REACH total. The type of certificate awarded at the end of the year depends on the total number of REACH points that have been earned through assessments during the year.

           Certificate of Excellence        requires      160 points

           Certificate of Merit               requires      120 points

           Certificate of Achievement     requires      80 points

           Certificate of Completion       requires      40 points

Each REACH assessment is worth a maximum of 4 points. Points are awarded as follows:

4 points  Achieved with Excellence  

3 points  Achieved with Merit         

2 points  Achieved

1 point   Working towards Achieved

0 points Insufficient evidence of achievement

All students will receive an update of their REACH points to date at year level assemblies in week 4. Do ask your child how they are going?
