Success and Recognition

At EKC we’re passionate about progress – every increment of it in every context. That’s why our measure of success is the sum of those increments.

We acknowledge and celebrate progress every day whenever and wherever it happens: in the classroom, on the sporting field, on the stage, at exhibitions, or on excursions, camps and tours. It’s what keeps our students motivated toward excellence – toward testing and achieving their peak performance.

In statewide VELS and NAPLAN testing for literacy, numeracy and writing, our students continue to trend upwards and are similar or above like schools.

Awards

Students who demonstrate outstanding academic and sporting achievement receive awards at campus assemblies at the end of each Term and at the annual College Awards Night.

Respect Engage Aspire Learn (R.E.A.L.) Endeavour Awards are received by Junior school students who achieve academic excellence in five or more subjects.
