Thistle Awards
In 2007 St Andrew's College instituted a new academic award based on first semester results. This non monetary award seeks to symbolically highlight semester one academic achievement by the students of St Andrew's College. Thistles were awarded in 2008 and are this will continue annually.
Eligible students are presented by the student club executive with a lapel pin at formal dinner in October each year. Students aree eligible for either a bronze, silver or gold pin for either 1, 2 or 3 years of high academic merit based on semester 1 results. Students are encouraged to wear their lapel pin on their academic gowns.
In 2008 the awards were presented on 27 October. The high calibre of academic results in semester one 2008 means that the bar has been set even higher with a student needing a minimum of 3 HDs and additional Cr or D with 36 credit points to be eligible for the award.
Congratulations to all who receieve the award. For a full list of recipients please click here.
