“A TIME TO REWARD LEARNERS FOR BEING AN EDGE OVER OTHERS”
Consistently rewarding good behaviour is just as important as curbing poor behaviour. So the school has built a reward system that will not only challenge and inspire learners but also teach them the importance of preserving a good character while working towards a common goal. All good habits are built young and raising students instilling good habits in them is hard work. Character badges can make it more fun and effective than ever before. Besides acknowledging a learner's good behaviour with a 'Character Badge' not only says, 'Great work', it also says, 'Keep it up'. Therefore to positively reinforce the significance of possessing a good character, a few selected learners from Class I to XI were rewarded with 'Character Badges' by the respected Principal Ms. Preeta Pillai, based on the character counts achieved by them in all their subjects, on the 10th of February 2017, in the school assembly. The Principal in her speech congratulated the winners and asked them to concretize these reward winning traits in them so that they become a habit to be observed even after their schooling or throughout their life. It was indeed a very proud moment for each of the students nominated for the 'Character Badges' and an inspiring initiative for those who could not achieve the same. The winners of the character badges could retain the badge for a month proudly displaying it on them and it would then be passed on to another learner (rolling badge) with such reward winning traits. Another surprise that awaited the students, who were recipients of the character badges from each of the floors, was ‘a privileged brunch with the Principal. Three students were shortlisted through a lucky draw by the respected Principal, Ms. Preeta Pillai and they were applauded by all. The school dispersed soon after the National Anthem and with a conviction in each of the students to aspire for and win the badge in the near future.
