Cultural Points
There are three ways to earn a cultural point towards the Achievement Badge or Achievement Tie.
Cultural Effort
For Cultural Effort, effort scores are combined across Term 1 & 2 (Semester 1) and then again in Term 3 & 4 (Semester 2). Students who have 80% of their effort scores as 1s, in these semesters, will have a cultural point allocated. This is from the following 3 subjects
Drama Music Art/Pottery
The below example shows a student report from Term 1 and a report from Term 2 with six out of six 1s. Great effort! They have earned one cultural point.
Term 1
