Academics can get tough, but with an efficient study plan for each subject, it can get easier. My school gives out "grade colours" for students who have a GPA of at least 3.7 for their top five subjects and "school colours" for those with a 3.8 GPA or higher. I have received "school colours" in grade 9 and 10, and "grade colours" in grade 11. In addition, there's the "Effort Roll". To obtain it, a student must have fully meeting or meeting expectations in the effort category of each subject. I received this in grades 9, 10, and 11.
