to encourage excellence in all aspects of school life from behaviour to academic
achievement. Classes also receive marks for behaviour. These marks will be collated
throughout the year and at the end of the school year, with the best behaved class
in each year group getting a special reward or outing.
A customised/tailored system operates to meet the needs and differences in each key
stage.
The system allows a healthy competitive spirit among pupils and classes and helps to
bring good results in behaviour and academic performance.
Competition
On the whole the pupils show great enthusiasm for the system. A healthy competitive
spirit has entered the various classes which can only bring good results in behaviour
and academic performance.
School Council
The school council provides a platform for positive student contribution to school
life. It is headed and run by the Head Girls who liaise with the Principal and
SMT. The council takes its members from the whole spectrum of the student body
with each year having its own representative chosen from a pool of elected class
representatives.
Platform
The council gives the students a platform to express their views, ideas and opinions
and to react positively to the views of others. Each year group identifies ‘an issue’
and works towards improving ‘the issue’ in order to enrich the quality of school life.
The student body is the single greatest resource of any school and the Council aims
to harness the energy and talents of all the pupils.
Prefects
Each class has been assigned a sixth year class prefect. The prefect visits her class on
a regular basis and works with the class to encourage and support them in a variety
of activities.
