Great work guys however Ashlea gained most of this total in term 1 and eased off a little in term 2 so a litle bit of effort and he can be overtaken!!! 

Who will be the first one to reach 50 points? 100 points? To be the Fortis TED Champion for 2013?

Term 3

Welcome back to Term 3 - halfway through year 9 already. It is shaping up to be another busy term with many things happening the most notable being WAMSE testing which will take place in week 3 and Yr 9 exams at the end of the term. 

A reminder that, as the cooler, wintery weather is upon us, that all students are expected to be in correct school uniform every day. This is either the designated RSHS uniform available in the school uniform shop or plain black bottoms, a school shirt and a plain black top with no logos or patterns blazened across them. Footwear should be closed in and appropriate for school. Leggings, Thongs, coloured sweatshirts etc are not suitable and should not be worn.

Date for your diary: The TED Reward excursion will take place on Wednesday 11 September 2013. Get your points in the box in the Sub-School and keep looking at the leaderboard, blog and Edmodo to see where you stand on the ladder. Dont forget you can also will the individual awards for achieving 5,10,20,50 and 100 TED points over the year. Who will be the Fortis TED point champion for 2013?

Monsters University Reward Excursion

Congratulations to  25 of the top TED point Fortis students for term 2 who participated in the Movie Reward Excursion to see Monsters University today. I hope you enjoyed the movie. As always the majority of you behaved perfectly and were great Ambassadors for the school. Sadly there were a few who did not behave in an appropriate manner and as a result we may have to reconsider whether the movies is a suitable reward activity for term 3.

How TED works

There is a little confusion as to how TED points work. So here is a [very] brief explanation. 

TED [Treat Everyone Decently] points are the reward system used at RSHS. Staff award TED points as a reward for "doing the right thing' both in and out of the classroom. Good behaviour, staying on track, a thoughtful gesture, completing a difficult task - all the things that are used to determine your ABE's [Attitude, Behaviour and Effort] are acknowledged by giving you a TED point. You then put the points you have earned into the collection box in your sub-school to be counted at the next tally. . The points are totalled on a two week cycle and the highest point winners for that cycle are listed on the subschool Fortis leader-board.

At the end of the term the top 30 TED winners for that term are invited to participate in a reward excursion or activity.

But there is more....

The points accumulate throughout the year and as you reach milestones there is a reward.

When you achieve 5 points you get a certificate, at 10 points you receive a $5 canteen voucher, 20 points - you are invited to a TED lunch [this happens once a term], at 50 points you earn a movie ticket and at 100 points there is a "mystery reward". Something to aim for!!

At the end of it all is the TED Point Champion for the year awarded to the student who has gained the most TED Points throughout the year.

But beware.....

We know that the majority of our students are wonderful but occasionally there is a small hic-cup when things do not quite go according to plan...... You get a "letter of concern "sent home or you lose your good standing. If this happens you will receive a penalty of 2 point deduction for every letter of concern and 5 points for loss of good standing.  If you are suspended for any reason you are not allowed to participate in any reward activities for that term and your name will not feature of the leader-board until you have regained your good standing. However, a letter of commendation will gain you bonus points. 

Hopefully that makes thing's a little clearer but if you are still unsure just ask Mrs H-I or Mr Galati and they will explain it to you.
