Senior Year family members are invited to attend to share in this special occasion. Academic Awards Ceremony Our Academic Awards Ceremony takes place in October and recognize ​ academic, character and leadership ​ accolades that students have earned from the previous school year. In this way, results from final (June) exams written by students in Grades 7 to 11 are used to help determine academic accolades whose terms of reference are informed by year-end marks. ​ As well, the ceremony acknowledges students achieving the highest academic standing in their respective grade. Grade 12 students receive their academic, character and leadership accolades at their graduation ceremony, which takes place in June. Student Achievement Prayers Additionally, students in Grades 7 to 12 are acknowledged at Student Achievement Prayers, which take place in January and May. This assembly recognizes students for their achievements in math contests, language competitions, computer programming, music, drama, debating, Model United Nations, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and other co-curricular pursuits. Students are also recognized at three seasonal Athletic Assemblies and a year-end Performing Arts Assembly, which takes place in the spring to acknowledge student participation in Havergal’s band, vocal, strings, dance and / or drama co-curricular opportunities. Taken collectively, these opportunities signal to Upper School students, and our community, that student achievement at Havergal College takes different forms.
