In junior assembly this week the winners of respect badges were announced. These badges are part of the Junior Value Badges reward initiative which is in it’s third year. They are a Rector’s Award. The badges are designed to help boys focus on the value of the term and we reward boys who collect positive postcards, house points and a good grade point average in their effort grades.

The value for Term 1 was respect and a total of 163 boys earned themselves a badge. This represents 45% of the junior school. Year 9 collected 55% of the badges and Year 10 45%. There were a few standout performances that are worthy of a special mention.

Highest GPA for effort:

Year 10 - Sam Goodchild / Tanveer Singh 4.52
Year 9 - William Bolter 4.71

Highest number of positive postcards:

5 postcards - Cole Churchman Year 9

Highest number of house points:

16 house points - Pyay Ti Nyein Chan Year 10

The Junior Value Badges scheme will also contribute towards the ongoing house competition and the results are as follows:

1st Place - McIndoe House

Equal 2nd Place - Park House and Aspinall House

4th Place - Saxton House

Boys must meet these criteria to gain a badge. The criteria for gaining a badge are as follows:

A positive postcard home OR 4 House points

and a grade point average in effort of 3.8 or above.

The value of the term of term 2 is courage. With this value, we hope to encourage your son to have the courage to try something new at OBHS. This could be trying out a new sport or club, making a concerted effort in class to be brave and put his hand up more or take some risks in his learning. It could mean even having the courage to stand up for others and speak out when he sees something wrong.

Term 2 is the time for the junior boys to show us what they are made of!
