Click Cards

Click cards is a new system at our school. Every class does it, you get one click a day if you get 40 clicks you get a Rimu band. You get a verbal warning if you do something wrong then you get your name on the board and if your name has a cross you have to go to Miss Mills to write a stars reflection for 30 minutes, if you punch someone or swear at a teacher you go straight to Mr Carlins office. As a year 8 you can only earn 3 bands this year. If you get seen using another house band you will lose your house band. To get a hoody you have to get a stars card which Mrs Colville will draw out at the end of the term.
