AROUND THE SCHOOL
School Captains
At the end of last term the School Captains initiated some new ideas within the school.
The first initiative is a letterbox called the 'Captains’ Letterbox'. The letterbox is intended to provide students from any grade in the school the opportunity to communicate things they would like the Captains to know about, including any troubles students might be experiencing, or any changes they might like to see in the school. The letterbox is located in the Front Office area.
The second idea the Captains initiated was the ‘Shooting Star’ Captain's Award. Each week at assembly the Captains draw out a 'virtues' ticket and publicly acknowledge the reason the child had been awarded the ticket. Students can earn a ticket by living out the school values and all teachers are encouraged to nominate students for living out our school values. Some of the values Sacred Heart has been focusing on this year are:
- GRATITUDE
- RESPECT
- INTEGRITY
- EQUITY
School Captains are watching to catch students doing the right thing. Additionally, virtue ticket winners will still earn extra FREE PLAY and be in the running for the special Principal’s lunch with Mrs Staines.
Thank you, from your friendly School Captains,
Zoe C, Olivia G, Ashleigh O & Leila W.
