STAR (Students of Tuncurry Awards and Rewards)
Purpose:
Great Lakes College Tuncurry Campus STAR is designed to encourage and recognise individual student efforts. Our reward system is used to encourage positive student behaviour that demonstrates the expectations of respect, responsibility and personal best. Students are rewarded with STAR points and Tuncurry commendations.
Scope:
STAR applies to all students attending GLCTC and involves all members of the GLCTC community (teachers, School Learning Support Officers and administrative staff).
Rationale:
Reward systems are an effective way to celebrate student achievement and positive student behaviour. The use of STAR points within the classroom is a form of extrinsic motivation for students, encouraging cooperative participation in academic and social learning experiences. It is important to recognise that these reward systems should be consistent and fair, providing students with motivation and encouragement. To ensure all students have equal opportunity to be rewarded for their positive behaviour, staff are required to award STAR points to students following GLCTC core expectations of respect, responsibility and personal best each lesson.
