The June exam results showed a good improvement in the academic performance of the Hall due to the collective efforts of the House Committee members for the respective residences as well as the Hall Committee.
This is evident in the Hall’s leap up the academic rankings, moving to 2nd place overall out of all the Halls on Campus after the June examinations, with each house giving a strong showing. Graham House was congratulated for their amazing move from 49th place in the November 2017 exams, to 8th place in the June 2018 exams, out of all the Residences on Campus.
Constant initiatives from each Academic Rep, including mentoring programmes, academic talks, library study visits, converting common rooms into study venues, one-on-one support and motivation, and the advertisement of assistance in the dining hall, have all played their part in this incredible success.
