ND Honour Roll Guidelines

  • Achieve an average of 80% or higher in all courses in a semester to obtain  Honor Roll status.
  • Achieve an average of 90% or higher in all courses to obtain Honor Roll with 1st Class Standing status.
  • Be enrolled in a minimum of 10 Notre Dame approved credits (5 credits must be from a core subject) in the term.
  • Students receive letters of commendation from the principal each semester they achieve honor roll

NOTRE DAME CALCULATION: The students' GPA is calculated based on the credit weighting of the course/module. For example, a 5-credit course is weighted five times as much as a 1-credit module.

Grade 12 Valedictorian Criteria

 

In class marks are used only. Diploma marks are not included for course marks.

Calculated average is based on:

  • Highest English 30-1 or French Language Arts 30-1 mark
  • Social 30-1 (if taken)
  • Math 30-1
  • RS: Roman Catholic 35 or Religions of the World 35

Governor General Award

A BRONZE medal is awarded to the student who achieves the highest average upon graduation from a secondary school.

The average includes all Grade 11 and Grade 12 courses as listed on the student’s official Transcript of Grades issued by the ministry of education. The average cannot be anticipated; it must be calculated based on final results after provincial/territorial examinations, where the ministry of education requires final exams.

Equitable access for the entire student population is an important aspect of the medal’s value. Regardless of the stream or the subjects chosen, all students are eligible for consideration upon graduation.

Courses taken after graduation to upgrade marks are not to be included.
