Rewards System

Students at Menzies are rewarded for:

• Attendance

• Attitude

• Appearance

• Achievement  

Stickers and Postcards

Students are given stickers (merits) and postcards to celebrate and reward their achievement and effort. Stickers can be collected in their planners and each pupil has an account with the www.mystickers.co.uk website.

Pupils enter the codes from their stickers and postcards to register their points. Weekly prizes are given in each Year Group for achievements such as for the student with the highest points in the Year Group or the highest points in a particular subject that week.

All pupils with positive points at the end of the year will be eligible for Rewards Day in July (or the Year 11 prom for those in Year 11).

Other rewards and prizes include:

• Students of the term – those with the highest points in each Year Group for each subject receive a certificate and have their photo as part of the Student of the Term display in the hall.

• A weekly prize in each Year Group assembly for the “Form of the Week” tutor group with the highest attendance percentage.

• Each week there is a different House Competition with a prize for the winner and stickers for all entrants. The House with the most points at the end of the year will have a discount on their choice of activity for each pupil in that House who entered their points on www.mystickers.co.uk.

• For pupils with 100% attendance for the whole academic year there will be a certificate as well as having their activity paid for on Rewards Day or their prom ticket paid for (if Year 11).  

Old Throstles

Pupils who have achieved excellence, whether in or out of school, may be awarded a special “Old Throstles” award and will receive a special badge and have their photo on the Honours Board in the Hall.
