It gives the Helensvale SHS community great pleasure to offer scholarships for students wishing to enrol in our school in Year 8 for 2010.
Public education has a well founded and high profile in our local area and our feeder primary schools achieve excellent outcomes for their students. The purpose of the Scholarships is to reward and acknowledge the educational achievements of some exceptional Year 7 students and the schools from which they graduate.
The Scholarships are part of our existing Academic Curriculum Enhancement program and will be offered in the areas of Academic, Sport and The Arts
Process A) SCHOLARSHIPS
A panel consisting of P&C President, Principal, Year 8 Deputy Principal and HOD Middle Schooling will offer the scholarships to students. The panel will take advice from staff representing each of the key areas. The balance and number of scholarships will be the responsibility of the panel. The process upon which the advice will be based is Academic (Exam), Sport (Application and Interview) and The Arts (Audition or Folio). Additional input will be sought from the Primary School from which the student will be graduating and information gathered regarding attitude, extra curricula activities and private achievements.
B) EXCELLENCE PROGRAMMES
Students are to submit a separate Application Form for each program they are applying for. Students are selected on one or all of the following: Interview, Audition, School Reports, Folio of work, Primary School recommendation and other relevant materials. Timeline Applications must be submitted to Helensvale High by 3:00 pm Friday 8 May with accompanying supporting evidence, certificates and references (photocopies only please as they will be retained by the school).
Student Auditions and Interviews will be scheduled from Thursday 21 May 1-7pm. The Academic Exam will be held on Saturday 30 May from 9am – 11am in the Helensvale SHS Technology Institute. A letter offering the scholarships or acceptance into the First Round of the Excellence Programme will be sent to the successful applicants at the end of Term 2. Operation Each scholarship will be to the value of $500.00. The P&C will credit the money to the school to go towards educational and uniform costs incurred by the student during 2010. The scholarship will be for one year with students then moving into the normal achievement phase for scholarships in their future years.
