BADGES will be awarded by class teachers using Satchel: One.

The pupils in each year group who have received most badges for the whole school focus will be entered into a MONTHLY RAFFLE to win prizes.

There will be a PRIZE each month for a pupil in each year group from S1 to S6 based on names being picked out of the hat.

Pupils and parents/carers can keep track of their merits and badges on Satchel: One. Ask your class teachers or Mrs Kelly if you or your parent/carer need help logging in to Satchel: One.
