The Colour Level System
The Colour Level System is an important part of our school community that monitors student effort and behaviour.
The Wellbeing Team oversees the Colour Level System which encourages students to participate in both school and community service opportunities. The school's clearly defined Colour Level System promotes and rewards positive behaviour. Students who attain higher colour levels enjoy extra privileges.
All students begin on the Green Level and are encouraged to seek promotion to higher colour levels to attain extra privileges.
Inappropriate behaviour or the inability to follow school rules and expectations, will see students demoted to lower colour levels and placed on restrictions until their actions improve.
The Colour Level Systems provide incentives clearly aligned to an effort and reward value system. The boys take pride in their personal Colour Level Achievements and presents positive modelling for their fellow students.
