Junior Graduation Programme

Hastings Boys' High School will start their new Junior Graduation programme at the start of Term 2. The aim of the graduation programme is:

  • To encourage students to work to achieve their best
  • To provide timely and indicative snap shots of progress and achievement
  • To actively reward both achievement and effort at all ability levels
  • To further support out identification of students that require additional support
  • To provide data that can be used by form teachers in their role as academic mentors
  • To provide additional understandable data to parents on academic achievement and attendance

Students will be graded on four criteria every two weeks and the outcomes will be readily available to all students and families/whānau on their student app accounts. The criteria ae:

  • Learning progress
  • Attendance
  • Co-curricular participation

  • Ākina Man Values

Students who are not meeting the expected criteria will be quickly identified and provided with additional support and guidance to assist them in improving.

At the end of the year the students will either:

  • Graduate with Achieved
  • Graduate with Merit
  • Graduate with Excellence
  • Fail to Graduate

All graduates will be recognised at Junior Prizegiving.
