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.
