Attendance MonitoringThe PGA have seen significant changes in attendance throughout the semester andhighlighted through the attendance and achievement boards. These boards arevisually displayed in the academy to show PGA members where they are at with theirattendance, behaviour, schoolwork and attitude and what areas they are reallyexcelling at and what areas need improving.The attendance boards allow the staff and students to monitor and track attendance andin intervene where required. The boards acts as an incentive for achieving the Academyattendance targets and the Academy girls recognise that keeping attendance highlyvisual in the Academy helps them to keep on track.Semester TwoThere have been a number of highlights for semester two such as the Nestle Challenge,crowned champions of the NT Rugby 7’s championships, Year 12 End of Year Trip andthe Year 9 End of year reward trip.Nestle ChallengeThe Nestle challenge focussed on students getting back to culture and understandingthe importance indigenous women play in their communities. For some of the girls thishad been their first time camping in the bush, eating bush tucker and interacting withother Indigenous students from other parts of the country. It was a great time whereIndigenous girls didn’t feel intimidated, and feeling strong and proud about themselvesand their culture amongst their own people.©RM&LA Palmerston Girls Academy Annual Report: December 2012 pg 12
