Annual Awards and Graduation Celebration
Each year, we celebrate each child's significant achievements, growth, and efforts!
Each year, we celebrate and honour each child’s significant achievements, dedication, and growth from the past year. From children in Kindergarten through to our Senior Secondary Graduates, we have awards for diligence, character and academic achievements that can be applied for by parents, which will be presented to each child at one of our annual Celebration events.
We centre each celebration around a scriptural theme, with last year’s being:
"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16
We host two celebrations each year, with an in-person celebration held at our head office in Narangba, Queensland, as well as an online celebration held for families who live further afield. We put a lot of effort into making both of these events memorable and special for our families. We thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to get together and glorify Father God for the fruit of your partnership with Him, in homeschooling your children over the course of the year.
Our Awards
We have various types of awards that can be applied for by parents at the end of each calendar year. These are presented to each child at one of our annual celebration events (online or in-person), or can be presented personally at home.

Diligence Award
"Whatever you do, do it heartily, as for the Lord and not for people." Colossians 3:23
One of the key A.C.E. Character Traits of Christ that children need to develop for life, through their homeschooling studies, is diligence - steady, earnest effort, hard work, persistence and commitment in fulfilling one's responsibilities or set work. Parents' can nominate their child for receiving this award if they have consistently shown diligence in their effort in completing their work, organisation, goal setting or time management, throughout the year. You can list/choose one (1) to three (3) key indicators to appear on their certificate.
Scripture Award
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105
Recognising the child who memorised and recited between 8-12 of our 12 scripture passages from throughout the year, as included in our monthly newsletters. You will need to have submitted a Scripture Memory form, listing each passage memorised and recited with the corresponding month.
Character Award
"Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you, will carry it on to completion, until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6
Throughout the PACE workbooks, children are taught A.C.E.'s 90 Character Traits of Christ. The character strips included in each PACE illustrate how these traits can be applied in real life situations, through the way each character responds in the stories. Parents' can nominate their child for receiving this award by choosing one (1) to three (3) of the following 90 Character Traits of Christ, which their child has consistently grown in or shown throughout this year.
