Paddle Pop Sticks positive behaviour initiative

I am sure you have heard by now about the Paddle Pop Sticks that have been creating excitement across Del Monte! This positive behaviour initiative recognises students who consistently demonstrate our College values through their words and actions, both in the classroom and on the playground.

Students are awarded Paddle Pop Sticks when they show kindness, respect, responsibility, perseverance, inclusivity and a commitment to learning. Each stick contributes points towards the student’s House, encouraging teamwork and a shared commitment to positive behaviour across the College.

The friendly competition has been embraced enthusiastically by students, who are eager to earn points for their House while making positive choices each day. Whether it is helping a classmate, showing respect to others, working diligently, or caring for our environment, every positive action contributes to the overall success of their House.

At the end of the term, the House with the highest number of Paddle Pop Sticks will enjoy a special treat as a reward for their collective efforts. More importantly, the initiative helps foster a school culture where kindness, respect and responsibility are celebrated and encouraged.

It has been wonderful to see so many students striving to live out our school values and working together to make our community an even more positive and welcoming place for all. We look forward to seeing which House will take out the title this term!
