Team Spirit

At Lockleys North Primary School we have four school teams:   Grallina (green),  Malurus (yellow), Brian ( blue) and Pierson (red).  

Not only are students in these teams on our Sports Day but they also meet together as an 

R-7 team regularly throughout the year.  Our Senior students take on leadership roles to facilitate Team meetings and lead by example.

Students are able to earn points for their teams by demonstrating excellent choices with regard to behaviour, attitude and effort in all areas of their learning. Team Points are given by teachers, leadership and the Sports Team Captains.  These points contribute to their teams in the lead up to Sports Day. 

Points are awarded in increments of 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 and 120 points.  Students earn points by following agreements, making strong choices and living our school values of Pursuit of Excellence, Honesty, Respect and Care and Concern for others.

Examples of living these values include;

• Being polite and respectful to all
• Being respectful to the environment
• Showing genuine care and concern for others
• Being persistent and not giving up
• Doing their best
• Being honest
• Show good sportsmanship
• Being brave and taking risks in their learning

Points are accumulated and recorded for the team and also to recognise individual achievement.  Individual Value Awards are given out once a student reaches 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 points. 

The House Point Tally is recalculated and announced at Team Meetings held throughout the term. Announcements of team and individual achievements will also be in the iNewsletter every fortnight.
