At St Augustine’s we have a rewards system to ensure that we can celebrate and recognise all of the fantastic achievements that our students do every day at school. We want to celebrate when they show growth in our virtues of Faith, Hope and Love. Students are encouraged to demonstrate our values every day, whether this is in the classroom, outside in the community or volunteering with events in school. During every term we reward our students with:
- Positive emails are sent home to parents/carers each week when students receive a positive point.
- Student of the Fortnight Certificates – These are given to the students in each year group who receive the highest number of positives.
- ‘Be the Best that we can be’ Achievement Certificates – These are given when you reach 100,150 and 200 positives.
- Student of the Half Term Certificates – These are given to students who receive the highest number of positives each half term.
- Tutor Group of the Half Term – Pizza and Games parties are awarded to the tutor group who receive the highest number of positives.
- Positive Points Party – An afternoon of activities for students who have achieved the highest number of positive praise points.
- Praise Postcards – Teachers can write a praise postcard for a student which can be sent home.
- Ethos and Values Badge – This is awarded to students who receive all 9 positive behaviour points during the term.
- Head Teacher’s Commendation – This is awarded to one male and female student in each year group who have stood out and contributed to school life.
- Attendance and Punctuality awards for students who have an outstanding attendance record are entered into a draw for a prize.
- Mr Hatch Community Award – This is awarded to one student in each year group who has contributed to school life.
- Ms Kelly’s Golden Tickets – Students are awarded a golden ticket for an exceptional piece of work or progress made in the lesson. These are placed in a raffle drum and 2 students are selected from each year group to win an amazon voucher, a jump the queue pass for the week and a chance to select an award from our lucky dip!
- Tea with the Head – Students from Year 7, 8 and 9 who are nominated by staff for making the most improvement, having a positive attitude to learning and demonstrating our school values consistently for the whole year will be invited to ‘Tea with the Head’ and have cake, pizza and a very special style ice cream and a certificate and pin badge to wear on their blazer.
