Honour Roll is based on Rockridge Secondary School or West Vancouver School District performance. External courses (courses outside of Rockridge Secondary School or West Vancouver School District) will not be included in the Honour Roll calculation. A student in the Dogwood program has their Honour Roll status calculated using their top six or seven courses depending on their grade. Students enrolled in the Pursuit program may have their honour Roll status calculated on all enrolling courses if they do not meet the minimum enrollment requirements for their grade as described below. A student in the Evergreen program has their Honour Roll status calculated based on meeting the outcomes of their Individual Education Plan. Each student who achieves honour roll will be presented with a Certificate of Achievement. Specific grade requirements are listed below:

Honour Roll status will be calculated based on a student’s 7 best courses using final International Baccalaureate (IB) grades or final proficiencies for non-IB courses.

• Students who have an IB final grade of 5 or higher for IB courses and proficient or higher for non-IB courses will be recognized with the Raven Distinguished Learner Award.
• Reflection on the ATL skills is an important component of our student’s learning. Students must complete and submit their goal-setting and self-assessment of the ATLs throughout the year.
• Students must successfully complete Career Education 8, 9 or Personal Project 10; however, those marks are not included in the award calculations.
• Grade 8s, 9s & 10s must complete 5, 10 or 15 hours of approved community service (respectively) including a service proposal and reflection.
• Students who receive an “IE” on their final report card will have until the end of June for their Honour Roll status to be calculated, upon conversion of the “IE”.
• Students must be enrolled in a minimum of eight courses at Rockridge Secondary School or in the West Vancouver School District.

Final course grades will be used to calculate Honour Roll status for students in grades 10 and 11 and learning update 2 grades will be used to calculate Honour Roll status for students in grade 12.

Honour Roll will be calculated based on a student’s  7 best (for 10s) and 6 best (for 11 and 12s) courses with letter grades/percentage marks.

• Reflection on the ATL skills is an important component of our student’s learning. Students must complete and submit their goal-setting and self-assessment of the ATLs throughout the year.

• Grade 10s must complete 15 hours of approved community service through their CLE 10 course.
• Students must not have a failing grade in any of their enrolling courses (less than 50%)
• Those students who receive an “IE” on their report card will have their Honour Roll status calculated upon conversion of the “IE”.

• Career Life Connections (CLC), Connect and Learning Support (LSP) can be included in the 8 courses
