Responsibility Points
The school’s core values and code of conduct are tied into a very robust reward system that is supported by five main points. These are referred to as the student's Responsibility Points. The basic concept behind the points system is that each student has responsibilities to himself or herself, and the others in the school.
Their actions are their responsibility. They have 5 points in their possession at the start of each lesson.
- Point 1 - Be on time and ready to start
- Point 2 - Listen and follow instructions
- Point 3 - Use appropriate behaviour and language
- Point 4 - Show and earn respect
- Point 5 - Complete task set
Students choose to keep them, or give them away by not following the responsibility expectations of each point.
Each week, in Tutorial, the student reviews the points they have kept and receives a certificate to represent 40-59%; 60-79%; 70-99% or a Gold certificate which records the keeping of 100% of these points.
