The Merit System
Student rewards consist of a series of classroom Saints Awards, Principal's Awards, pins and medallions that are tokens, intended to reward and recognise student achievement and effort. Students progress through the Levels System by collecting these awards, which can be given by any staff member, for anything, at any time. All awards accumulate over the student's high school life.
