"Promoting Personal Excellence"

                                         HOUSE POINTS

All pupils are assigned to a house either, Ulster, Munster, Leinster or Connaught. Pupils can earn points for their house by acting positively both during and after school hours.  

Pupil Personal House Points

We in St Patrick’s College wish to suitably reward and acknowledge positive behaviour that occurs by the majority of  pupils on a daily basis.

Every pupil can now earn points for themselves as well as their house. When a pupil earns house points they must get their teacher to record the nimber of points, that the teacher has awarded them, the reason why they were awarded & the date signed into their homework diaries.

It is each pupil’s own responsibility to get the points recorded into their homework diary and to make this known to their form teacher in order that they can be displayed on the form class notice board.

Pupils can only expect to be rewarded for behaviour above and beyond that expected to be normal reasonable class or after school behaviour. Pupils must not plead or beg for points from the Teacher in order to improve their own class or house points league table position.
