New Merit Award System

PROPOSED NEW SCHOOL MERIT AWARD SYSTEM 

 

The current school award system has been raised by many parents and staff over the years. As a result, Miss Ferguson investigated various option in relation to updating and streamlining our school's K-6 merit award system to ensure transparency and clear links between the playground and classroom. 

 

Miss Ferguson presented the proposed new merit reward system at the P&C meeting last week. All parents unanimously were in favour for the new merit system. 

 

The proposed new reward system will operate in one calendar year and will not overlap into future years. The new reward system will be aligned to the school's high expectations for behaviour and uniform. 

 

All families are now kindly invited to provide feedback on the new proposed reward system either by sending an email to windang-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au or by contacting Miss Ferguson via the office.
