To achieve a level and receive their award, they must meet a certain level of criteria in accordance with their behaviour. Students meet individually with their class teacher throughout each term and discuss their attitude, effort and conduct at school. We then set goals together for them to work towards.
Please encourage your child to keep on working towards their goals and be the best they can be. This individualised approach means that each child is working towards their own goals and improving where they need to.
The following is an excerpt from our Junior School Student Management Policy and explains how and why we use the levels and criteria...
Much research exists on the powerfulness of students understanding the purpose of what they are learning and what they need to develop in their behaviour. It has long been understood that if students are aware of what needs to be demonstrated then they will work tremendously hard towards achieving it.
We operate a level system that encompasses a single Bronze, Silver and Gold Award. Each award has criteria that students must demonstrate in order to achieve a particular level. Teachers will meet with students at least twice per term to discuss progress made toward the criteria. Students and teachers will set goals for achieving criteria at each of these meetings.
To ensure that the award system is spread across the entire school year the following timeframe has been developed.

Each criteria is designed to suit the developmental stages of our students for each level. This criteria is discussed regularly with students in their classrooms and with individuals throughout the goal setting time with teachers.
