A house point card consists of four sections: Behaviour for which one point is earned if for example, they are quiet in class; Work where pupils can obtain one point for working hard; Effort, a point gained for doing extra work, and a Certificate that is awarded to any pupil accumulating five points in any of the above sections.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
