Please note, Year 5 and 6 marks follow the Maths/Science achievement scale for all subjects.

Culture of Excellence

Culture of Excellence is the Hills Adventist College way of fostering student growth. It reflects how your child engages with learning tasks and provides a way for teachers and students to receive feedback on the student's progress. This helps identify any gaps in understanding and areas needing improvement throughout the learning period. The focus is on skill development, application of knowledge, and effective use of feedback. This information is recorded in the Culture of Excellence column and the Engagement in Learning column on the transcript and is based on the following criteria:

Be Attitudes

To report on how each student is interacting at the College overall, not just in specific classes students are evaluated on a fourpoint scale: Consistently, Usually, Sometimes, Rarely.

Life Skills Courses

Students with special education needs can access the syllabus outcomes and content in a range of ways, including studying a Life Skills syllabus. For these students, adjustments have been made to the teaching, learning and assessment activities to enable them to access syllabus outcomes and content and demonstrate achievement of outcomes. A three-point scale is used to indicate the progress of a student through the Life Skills syllabus.

Achieved: The student satisfactorily completed this outcome independently.

Achieved with Support: The student satisfactorily completed this outcome with support from their teacher.

Working Towards: The student is working towards completing this outcome.
