During your time at St Mary’s the rewards system will play a big part in your life. At St Mary’s you earn rewards and win prizes at the end of the term when we have a rewards assembly where you will get certificates, chocolates and lots more.
Harriet from 8YC has got up 50 college merits and has uploaded her stickers onto a website called www.mystickers.co.uk to try and win a prize. When you enter the stickers you have, you are automatically entered into a priz draw, so the more stickers the more chance of prizes!
In St Mary’s College this isn’t the only rewards system we have. If you have 100% attendance at the end of the school year you can visit Flamingo Land for free, but to be able to do that, your behaviour, effort and attainment will have to be up to standard.
Harriet said “I work hard in lessons so I can also gain merits which lead to rewards, however I have also found out that when I work hard in lessons it makes my learning more enjoyable and makes me understand the subject more, so it’s good stuff either way!”
In Year 10 if you gain 100% attendance, there will be free trip for to Alton Towers, but remember behaviour still matters – it’s not just attendance!
The best way forward in Year 7 is to try and get as many merits as you can. Always be spotting opportunity where merits are available.
