Celebrating Student Achievement
There is nothing that builds success, like experiencing success. It is for that reason we celebrate our students' success each week on Parade (Monday 9:00am), and more formally during our Annual Awards Night (Wednesday last week of the school year).
To assist parents in being present for parade awards, awardees are given a postcard to take home on the Friday!
Parade Awards:
Principal Awards: Principal Awards are given to students who have been identified in previous week as someone who has been outstanding in practicing their newly developing skills based on the topic from their You Can Do It / Wellbeing lessons.
PBL Awards: The Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Awards are awarded by teachers to a student in their class who has demonstrated effort and success in the skills that has been taught that week.
Student of the Week Award: Awarded by class teachers, this award is given to a student in the class who has been identified as someone who has been caught working towards their personal goal.
