The aim of the House rewards is to encourage team motivation and to ensure all students aspire to achieve as fully rounded young people, both inside and outside South Hunsley. Students will have a sense of ownership for their House and we aim to provide a wide range of events including sporting and cultural to promote teamwork and a community spirit.

Mr Coulbeck, alongside the Student Union, look into the types of competitions we hold and try to ensure there is something to suit everyone. All staff, students and parents will be made aware of how many points each House has received and students are able to spend their house points in the school points shop. There are a variety of prizes that students can buy ranging from a pencil to Amazon vouchers.

Each week, the overall house point’s totals are put onto the tutor message board for students to see. The Overall house points totals are also broadcasted on the Twitter account to allow parents to see the winning house.

Each week the highest achieving students from each house becomes the ‘Star of the week’ and appear on the notice board outside their House office. Their talents are celebrated and showcased for other students to aspire to.

Who runs and organises the competitions?

Anyone can run a competition but approval must be given from Mr Coulbeck first. Competitions can range from a variety of different activities and will happen at various times during the school year.
