Top Mark

This is awarded to the highest mark achieved in each genre and level.  The mark must be between 90 – 100  to qualify. More than one person may be eligible for this award if multiple candidates receive the same highest mark.

The recipient/s of a Top Mark Award receives an examination scholarship to sit the next examination grade of that genre (free), certificate of recognition and “Top Mark Award” badge.  If the recipient does not use the scholarship to sit an examination the following year, the exam scholarship is automatically surrendered/void.
