Incentives and Sanctions
The school uses as sysytem known as Behaviour for Learning (BfL) around the school. BfL incorporates both sanctions for misbehavior and rewards for good behavior. The following is a simplified version of the BfL system of sanctions used.—it uses different orders of consequence (C):
- C1 First-chance verbal warning
- C2 Second-chance verbal warning
- C3 If given 1 C3 throughout the week, the student would be given a 20 minute detention; if given 2, the student would be given a 40 minute and a 60 minute detention as well as a report if given 3 or over, this is held communally for all students who have received a C3
- C4 exclusion
Students are rewarded for good behavior with a "commendation". All commendations given are recorded on the school's computer server. As an incentive, receiving more than a certain number of commendations warrants a prize; often this includes an invitation to a special school trip, a certificate, or vouchers. For exceptional contribution to the school or the community, students are given the Jack Petchey Award. Only a handful have been given so far.

Famous quotes containing the word incentives:
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
