House Points: Encouraging Positive Behaviours

This year, our Wellbeing Team have re-designed our positive rewards system that centres around our House Points system. Our House Points are based on tiered levels of achievement, that also reflect our School Values. 

 

Simon Zammit, our Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader, alongside Melanie Irons, our Wellbeing Assistant Principal have designed a system that connects our Values Stamps to House Points - meaning that students are explicitly acknowledged for showing behaviours that correlate to our Positive Behaviour Matrix. 

 

We thank Alex Wignall, teacher of 3A and Year 3 facilitator for designing the collectables. Here he is, in action, designing the first 'collectable' sticker: 

 

Last Friday, our House Captains delivered the collectable stickers to those students who reached their 'SUPER 100 and SUPER 200' milestones. This will become part of their regular leadership routine.

Student Leadership Workshops

Last Friday we held the first of our regular Year 6 Leadership sessions. The student leaders spent time learning about what Inclusive Leadership involves and what it means to them. 

 

From now on, on Fridays all Year 6 leaders will meet for an hour in order to develop their leadership skills, and articulate their visions and ideas for the year. Once the student leaders have defined a particular vision and project for the year, the remainder of the Year 6 cohort will join these sessions, participating in a leadership project of their choice. 

 

Below is a picture of Lily Boulis, Diversity and Inclusion Captain, and Hugo Craig, House Captain for Westgate. They are holding their group's posters which articulate what an inclusive leader might look, sound and feel like.
