The general weighted average (GWA) over all four year levels is the basis
for selection of awardees. During the first two years, the students are in
their in their adjustment period and their GWAs in these years are given
a lesser weight. It is during the third year and fourth year levels where
students gifted in science and mathematics manifest their potentials despite
the level of difficulty of the subjects, and their GWAs in these years
are given more weight.
(c) Calmly but quickly get out of the building and go to the oval
(or open space) where you can keep a distance of about half the
height of the tallest building.
(d) Wait for further instruction from the School Emergency Response
Team.
4. If you are in an alley or street or between tall structures and walls:
The guidelines in determining the academic awardees are as follows:
1. Compute the final rating of all graduating students from first year to
fourth year and multiply each GWA with the following factors:
1st Year GWA × 1
2nd Year GWA × 1
3rd Year GWA × 2
4th Year GWA × 2
2. Get the sum and divide by 6.
3. General weighted average calculations are truncated after the second
decimal place.
4. All candidates for academic honors must have no record of having
committed a major offense in the third and fourth year levels.
