Mitchell High School staff and student representatives have investigated and developed an incentive scheme to reward students for positive behaviour. The incentive scheme will recognise positive student participation in the following expectations:
Respectful
Engaged
Active
Learners
Types of behaviours that will be rewarded under these expectations may include things such as good attendance, personal presentation, school and community participation, behaviour and attitude, and effort and success in course work.
Recognition of the above participation will be through the following forms:
* Deputy Principal Letter of Commendations
* Presentation Day
* Merits
* School Attendance Awards – Weekly and Termly
* Service Awards.
Staff issue students with Merits through Millennium. Merits are given to students who demonstrate R.E.A.L. expectations in the classroom, on the playground, at sport and many other settings.
Presentation Day awards excellence in course work, sport and community achievements.
The Mitchell High School R.E.A.L. incentive scheme encourages positive behaviour within young people, which will assist them in their pursuit of their individual goals. It will provide students with electronic points and certificates, which can become part of a personal resume as well as assists students to identify their current skills and positive attributes. This scheme may also assist students in their school to work preparation.
