Calculating Honour Roll
The honour roll is calculated using the term grades for Terms 1 and 3. For Terms 2 and 4 the honour roll is based on the term grades and not final grades. The term grades are used to calculate the student’s GPA (grade point average).
Principal’s Honour Roll = 7 GPA
Gold Honour Roll = 6.50 to 6.98 GPA
Burgundy Honour Roll = 6.00 to 6.48 GPA
Example of How the Honour Roll is Calculated:
GRADING | GPA | COURSES | GRADE | GPA | ||
A: 86% – 100% | 7 | ART STUDIO 11 | 96% | 7 | ||
B: 73% – 85% | 6 | SOCIAL STUDIES 10 | 96% | 7 | ||
C+: 67% – 72% | 5 | WORKPLACE MATH 10 | 90% | 7 | ||
C: 60% – 66% | 4 | FOODS 10 | 84% | 6 | ||
C-: 50% – 59% | 0 | Total of GPA for the 4 courses = | 27 | |||
F | 0 | 27 GPA divided by 4 courses = | 6.75 | Gold Honour Roll | ||
I | 0 |
