At 夜秀直播, we encourage our students to value the opportunities that are made available to them in pursuing both academic studies and co-curricular activities. The skills and knowledge gained from such pursuits ensure our students are able to meet any challenges with confidence.
The co-curricular programme offered at 夜秀直播 is extensive and enables our students to participate in a diverse range of activities. We believe that a wide-ranging co-curricular programme provides for a holistic education in which students can compete, participate and engage in activities outside the normal classroom situation.
The College deliberately pursues excellence and encourages students to achieve their best. An element of this mission is celebrating and rewarding the hard work and camaraderie that are developed within a co-curricular activity. The recognition of students' achievement in, and commitment to, co-curricular activity, is the basis for this system.
Awards may be presented in the following co-curricular activities:
Academic
Arts
Service
Sport
夜秀直播 has built a culture where excellence is recognised, valued and aspired to. The incorporation of Colours into the College Awards is an important element of this. High achievement in any area of discipline requires a willingness to commit to greater hours of practice, readiness to make sacrifices and learning beyond what is simply taught in the classroom.
Colours provide public and ongoing acknowledgement of achievement and underline that at JPC all fields of excellence are aspired to and recognised. Academic Colours may be presented for achievement across any combination of subjects from Years 7 -12.
夜秀直播 has in place a four-tiered system for recognising both achievement in and commitment to a co-curricular activity. The criteria for the awarding of prizes are clearly outlined in this booklet.
The four-tiers are:
In circumstances of exceptional achievement a student is eligible, at the Principal's discretion to receive Principal's Honours.
It is important to note that achieving the criteria for Full Colours in an area a second time does not automatically entitle a student to receive Principal's Honours. It is also important to note the awarding of Principal's Honours is entirely at the discretion of the Principal. Nominations for these Honours are supplied to the Principal by the Colours Committee. Successful nominees are awarded a certificate and a silver shield badge.

The Colours Committee receives nominations detailing the fulfilment of criteria for Honours, Full Colours, Half Colours and Junior Colours from students or the teachers responsible for the activities.
It is the responsibility of the Colours Committee to accept or reject the nominations. The Principal, in consultation with the Colours Committee, has the right to revoke an award in exceptional circumstances.
The Colours Committee should ensure that there is parity in the awarding of Full Colours, Half Colours and Junior Colours awards across all co-curricular activities. The Colours Committee is comprised of:
Coordinator of College Colours
Two Heads of Learning Area
One House Coordinator
The Colours Committee will meet periodically throughout the year as nominations are submitted. Honours, Full Colours, Half Colours and Junior Colours will be published in the Daily Notices prior to presentation of awards at a School Assembly.
Any student who wishes to contest the decision of the Colours Committee in relation to their nomination for an award, must lodge an appeal in writing to the Vice Principal within 48 hours of the awards being published. The appeal must be written by the student (using the proforma available at student reception) and state the reasons the student disagrees with the decision of the Colours Committee. The appeal must focus on the reasons the award is deserved and must not make comparison with other students who have received the award.

Once the Colours Committee has considered the appeal, its decision is final.
Note: the appeals process is between the student and the Colours committee.
