KEYS PROGRAMME (y7-8)

Keys to Success Programme

Our “Keys to Success” programme is designed to promote personal development and community pride through the recognition of achievement.  This programme is for our Year 7/8 students.  Senior students work hard throughout the last two years of their schooling to gain credits in each of the 4 main areas.  

General 

This programme is only open to Year 7 and 8 students. When students believe they have earned a credit, they must apply to the Principal or Deputy Principal who will verify it for them. Children are responsible for keeping track of their progress through their Keys to Success tracking sheet, and on seesaw. Credits carry over from Year 7 to Year 8 so a student may only have achieved half the credit in Year 7 they can then use those credits to complete the key in Year 8. 

When students have qualified for one of the keys, it will be presented at a school assembly with parents/ caregivers and family invited. If a student achieves all four keys within the two years, they will receive an HONOURS award and have their name on the Honours Board. Honours students will qualify for a lunch with the Principal and/or Deputy Principal.  Children who then complete the Digi Key as well will be recognised as achieving Digital Honours. 

Credits are not limited to the list.  However children must provide evidence of the other event through either a seesaw post (with a picture) of a written letter from the organiser of the event, or some other form of evidence, detailing what duties the child carried out.
