Weekly Marks
Each student is awarded a 'mark' in each subject every week. These 'marks' are based on the effort made by each student in a particular subject.
A student may be awarded one of the following marks:
6 - Granted to a student who shows particular excellence in any one week
5 - Granted to a student who makes maximum effort, completes all homework on time and is attentive in class
4 - Granted to a student who is doing just enough to get by
3 - Granted to a student who lacks wholehearted commitment, is not doing homework and is inattentive in class
2 - Granted to a student who regularly does very little work and is making no progress in subject
An asterisk is noted beside the 'mark' if a student has displayed poor behaviour during the week.
