This newsletter the PBL team thought it was a good time to remind families of the details around the PBL Award system. Many students will have received certificates on parade over the last few weeks and some will have had their name pulled out of the rewards box and chosen a prize. This is how it works!

Coloured Ardy tickets are handed out frequently to students who are observed following the school rules in the playground, in Clyde’s Corner and when moving around the school. They are always told what they are getting the ticket for.  In the classroom, the student puts the Ardy ticket in the class ticket box. Before parade the tickets are all put in the sector boxes. Two tickets for each sector are drawn out on parade and those students select a prize.

In class, each sector has a way of tracking task completion and following classroom rules. Early Years children put a smiley face on five fingers to earn a tally mark on the Ardy tracker. Primary children must fill two hands to earn a tally mark. Secondary and Senior secondary students use an age-appropriate tick system.  Once a student has gained 25 tally marks they receive a Bronze Ardy certificate on parade. 50 tally marks gains a silver, 75 tally marks gains a gold and 100 tally marks gains a platinum.                                                                                                                   

Each week a student from each class is selected to receive a Student of the Week certificate to celebrate an aspect of their learning, a sporting achievement or for following the school rules.

A different school rule is taught explicitly each week.
