Rangitoto Summit Diploma

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

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.
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.
5. Attendance: having high attendance rates to support learning.
6. Behaviour: behaviour that supports academic engagement and success.
