Castle Hill Public School is a 'Positive Behaviour for Learning' (PBL) school. Our school expectations are 'Respect, Responsible and Aspire'. Students are rewarded with a specific mini merit when they display these behaviours. These mini merits are then accumulated to gain higher achievements. The conversion chart is illustrated below. An explanation of how to redeem these awards is explained below the picture.
How parents can help?
It will be a great help if you remind your child that he or she needs to keep the mini merits they receive so that they can be awarded the certificate when they have a complete set. You may provide a special envelope, or a small clip lock bag in which the mini merits can be saved.
The students present these mini merit sets to their classroom teacher. You can also assist by checking your child has completed the following on the top card of each set:
- First name
- Last name
- Class
- Stapled
Students new to the school
Students new to the school need to present their previous school’s awards to Mrs Kohary (Deputy Principal 3-6) or Ms Machuca (Deputy Principal K-2) for conversion into the CHPS merit award system. Awards must be received by the deputy principals within six months of a student’s enrolment at CHPS.
