Praise system

At Elliott Hudson College we are committed to supporting students to achieve their full potential. Integral to this process is celebrating student achievement through hard work and determination. Teachers will ensure that they provide ongoing personalised support and positive feedback during lessons. In addition, the College follows a more formal Praise system, which is outlined below:

COMMENDATIONS

‘Commendations’ will be issued for students demonstrating any of EHC’s core values:

• Try something new • Get involved • Develop an interest • Build a team • Contribute to the community

• Develop ambition • Push your expectations • Explore possibilities • Develop a vision for your future • Find your own path o s e P u r p P a r t i c i p a t i o n

Core Values

• Believe you can • Encourage others • Choose your mindset • Recover from mistakes • Look after yourself and others

• Have high expectations • Embrace the challenge • Practise to achieve • Learn from mistakes • Develop good habits

This will be recorded on SIMS and each Head of Alliance will keep a running total for their Alliance. This will be displayed throughout the college through assemblies and tutorials. As students accumulate ‘commendations’ they will be awarded with the following:
