Sturt Public School works very hard to promote a culture of positive behaviour. There are many incentives for students displaying good citizenship.
WOW cards are given out when students are noticed being kind, helpful or following school rules on their own initiative. WOW cards go into the WOW card box and a winner is drawn regularly in each Stage (K-2, 3-4, 5-6). The prize is a free lunch or slushie from the canteen or other Stage based reward.
Merit certificates, HOW2learn cards and Outstanding Student awards are also given out at assemblies. Outstanding Student is a prestigious award. The student's photo is in the Bulletin and displayed in the foyer for the term.
Red Cards are purely designed to reward good behaviour, participation (including school representation) and citizenship. When students earn 3 red cards, they then hand them in to their Stage Assistant Principal. They are then presented with a Bronze Award at assembly. When a student has earned 3 Bronze Awards they hand them in to their Stage Assistant Principal who passes them on to the Principal. These students will be presented with a Silver Award at assembly, along with a school badge. When a student has earned 18 red cards (1 Silver Award + 3 Bronze Awards) they will receive a Gold Award, a gold badge and a special lunch of their choice (eg McDonalds, KFC etc) with the Principal. When a student has earned 27 red cards (1 Gold Award + 3 Bronze Awards) they will receive a Platinum Award and will be Principal for the day.
