Academic Excellence

To me, academic excellence means doing my absolute best through using all resources available to me, learning from the expert piece, demonstrating both current and prior learning and attending tutorials to further my understanding.

I love the extra challenge of deepening because it always pushes me to make my work better and helps me. I also often get to Grow, which is where I have another thing to focus on or an extra challenge to add to my learning to make it even better than before. It also helps me to edit and improve my work.

Teachers have really high expectations of us and we have really high expectations of ourselves too, because that’s what you need to be successful and achieve everything you want to in life.

Being aware of academic excellence is helpful to me as a learner because it reminds me to only do my very best, being aspirational for myself and what I can achieve. As a learner, I am able to challenge myself and feel motivated to improve and achieve better time after time, piece after piece.
