Acknowledgement of Country
West Moreton Anglican College acknowledges the Yugara people as the First Nation custodians of the lands upon which our College stands.
For thousands of years the Yugara people have gathered on this country, to share knowledge, stories, and teachings.
We pay respects to their language, lores, customs, creation stories, culture, and traditions.
We pay tribute to Elders; past, present and to be. We acknowledge that within the boundaries of this country, there has always been places of teaching, researching, and learning, a tradition which we as a College proudly continue today.
College Prayer
Most holy and loving God, bless all of us who work in West Moreton Anglican College. Grant us the grace to accept your gift of education to the betterment of the world and the glory of your holy name.
We pray that all of us in this College may understand fully the importance and richness of our education, that we might have the enthusiasm to take every opportunity available to us to make ourselves better people. Help us always to accept one another as fellow members of your family. Grant us the satisfaction of knowing that when we have done our best, our rewards will lie not only in our own development but also in the realisation of Your purpose for us all and for this College.
On our journey together, grant us the faith to persevere, the understanding of the constant need to give service to others, and an ever-increasing knowledge from a genuine pursuit of truth through enquiry and reason.
We ask this through Him who taught us to love one another, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
COLLEGE HYMN
On Eagle’s Wings by Michael Joncas
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, Who abide in this shadow for life; Say to the Lord, “My refuge, My rock, in whom I trust”.
Chorus
And I will raise you up on eagle’s wings Bear you on the breath of dawn, Make you to shine like the sun, And hold you in the palm of my hand.
The snare of the fowler will never capture you And famine will bring you no fear; Under God’s wings your refuge with faithfulness your shield.
Chorus
You need not fear the terror of the night, Nor the arrow that flies by day. Though thousands fall about you, Near you it shall not come.
Chorus
For to the angels God’s given a command, to guard you in all of your ways. Upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Last Chorus
And hold you, hold you in the palm of my hand.
ACADEMIC AWARD CRITERIA
The following criteria apply to the awards presented to students at the beginning of each semester for academic achievement in the previous semester. There are three levels of award:
Summa Cum Laude With highest honour
Magna Cum Laude With high honour
Cum Laude With honour
For Middle and Senior School awards, the eligibility criterion is the Grade Point Average (GPA). The GPA is arrived at by converting A to E subject grades into a 15 point numerical scale and then averaging the point score over the number of subjects designated in the criteria for that year level. Data used for this calculation are taken from end of semester reports. The award criteria have been designed to be consistent with the academic foci of the year levels to which they apply. They are also designed to be achievable and yet sufficiently discriminating to ensure that only those who demonstrate true academic excellence will attain the highest level.
In considering the criteria for each year level, students, parents and teachers need to be mindful of the increasing levels of academic rigour and cognitive demand required as the years advance.
