CELEBRATING SUCCESS

Praise & Rewards

We are very proud of our students and want to ensure they are recognised for their hard work. We believe that by celebrating and rewarding the efforts and achievements of our students we cultivate their self-belief, foster self-esteem and drive their ambition to be positive role models. Our aim is to ensure students understand the intrinsic benefits of being a positive role model and therefore being work ready and life ready.

We have a large number of praise and reward initiatives at Horizon CC to ensure students have every opportunity to be celebrated for their success. These include achievement points, Principal Award, Proud Thursday, Gold Pin Badges, Achievement Assembly, Star Student Breakfast, CLT Star Cards, attendance praise and praise postcards.
