“The secret of a happy life is respect. Respect for yourself and respect for others.” Ayad Akthar (playwright and novelist).
In junior assembly this week the winners of respect badges were announced. These badges are part of the Junior Value Badges reward initiative which is in its second year. They are a Rector’s Award. The badges were designed to help boys focus on the value of the term and we reward boys who collect positive postcards, house points and a good grade point average in their effort grades.
The value for Term 1 was respect and a total of 149 boys earned themselves a badge. This represents 41% of the junior school. There were a few standout performances that are worthy of a special mention.
Highest GPA for effort (out of 5):
Year 10 Caleb Wayne 4.59
Year 9 Henry Hodgson 4.41
Highest number of positive postcards:
4 postcards - Matthew Chiles, Year 10
Highest number of house points:
11 house points - Riley Horne, Year 9
The Junior Value Badges scheme will also contribute towards the ongoing house competition and the results are as follows:
1st Place - Saxton House
2nd Place - Park House
3rd Place -McIndoe House
4th Place - Saxton House
The criteria for gaining a badge are as follows:
a positive postcard home OR 4 House points
a grade point average in effort of 3.8 or above
The value of the term for term 2 is courage. With this value, we hope to encourage your son to have the courage to try something new at OBHS. This could be trying out a new sport or club, making a concerted effort in class to be brave and put his hand up more, or taking some risks in his learning. It could mean even having the courage to stand up for others and speak out when he sees something wrong. Term 2 is the time for the junior boys to show us what they are made of!
