Point System

Point System Guide

Monthly:

Each month, house members will accumulate the maximum possible points for their House by actively participating and being involved in all the school activities and events in school, adhering to DIS’s disciplinary policies. And so, every Activity/Event Organizer or Adult in school who fills in the House Merit/Demerit form for a student/group gets the points. The House with the most points at the end of the month will be named the House Monthly Champion and will be allowed to wear their house t-shirts with school bottoms every Friday for the following month. All houses will begin each month with zero points.

Activity or Event Attendance:

A student who attends an approved activity/event (sporting event, drama production, concert, dance, etc.) will receive one point for his or her House. The House with the largest number in attendance for each event will receive an additional five-point bonus.

2 points: attendance and participation for every approved House-themed activity/event

10 points as a group: the House with the largest number in attendance for each event will receive an additional ten-point bonus.
