Student Prize Program

The Student Prize Program (SPP) is a cash-prize incentive that recognises students who continually strive to learn and improve and rewards their outstanding achievements in English. Those who achieve full marks in their school assessments are awarded a prize amount that scales with the weighting of the assessment task.

The SPP was introduced in 2019 to reward and encourage students during the uncertainty of the first Covid-19 lockdown period. Since then, Delta has awarded over $150,000 worth of prizes, and we are incredibly pleased to have played a part in rewarding our students for their hard work and resilience. Although the SPP was intended to be withdrawn following the critical uncertainty of the pandemic in early 2020, it has been made continuously available as its impact in terms of the encouragement and recognition it represents for our students has been highly positive and appreciated by our community.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Student Prize Program was a great initiative that provided a boost of much needed motivation during the HSC year. For each assessment, all that was required was to send scanned copies of my A-range results to the Delta admin team who congratulated me and quickly processed the prizes.

It has helped me personally throughout the year by pushing me to strive for higher results, resulting in my achievement of full marks in nearly all of my internal assessments. It has solidified my perception of Delta as a place that truly rewards hard work and effort.
