Awards System
Rewards are consequences which promote and reinforce appropriate behaviour or attitudes. They are also used to acknowledge positive efforts and achievements. Rewards may be given to recognise both individual and group behaviour. Staff members use a variety of ways to reinforce and encourage positive attitudes and values among our students. These include the use of praise, stamps, and stickers, showing work to a buddy class and/or member of the Executive team and displaying work in the classroom and at assembly.
Fabulous Effort Awards
Are given by all staff for behaviour, citizenship, school spirit and attitude. These can be awarded by Classroom Teachers, Librarian, Learning Support Teacher, Aboriginal Education Worker and the Learning Support Assistants throughout the course of any school day for positive out of class behaviours. When a student has received ten Fabulous Effort Awards the class teacher will present the child with a reward.
The Fabulous Effort Awards are collected in a designated box on the classroom teacher’s desk. It is the student’s responsibility to put the awards in the box. A record is to be kept by the classroom teacher.
