Character Badge Journey
At Auchmuty High School, we are committed to supporting the flourishment of our young people through the development of good character. This means adopting a values-based approach in everything we do and in every conversation that we have.
Our merits system is aligned with our school values and skills. Each lesson a pupil has the opportunity to receive merits. For example, a pupil could receive a merit from their teacher for showing great resilience in overcoming a challenge or for actively contributing to class discussion.
The merits a young person gains in lessons contributes to their Character Badge.
