The Excellence Program

At Hills Adventist College, we celebrate student effort and achievement across all areas of school life. Launching in 2025, our Excellence Program recognises students in Academics, Sport, Citizenship, and The Arts.

It’s not just about results—it’s about doing your best and being actively involved in College life.

Students earn points that contribute to their house shield, except for Citizenship, which is designed to encourage participation and kindness without competition. Parents can track their child’s progress via the SEQTA Engage app.

Excellence Program Benchmarks

Students achieving milestone points receive Bronze, Silver, or Gold awards, presented at assembly.

Exceptional students in Middle and Senior School who reach Honours level in a category earn a 2025 Honours patch on their blazer.
