Merit system

WHSPA Merit System

Quick Merits are awarded by teachers via our electronic record keeping system, Millennium.  Merits canl be awarded for:

·         Academic Achievement

·         Diligence and Commitment

·         Achievement in the Performing Arts

·         Achievement in Sport

·         Commitment to school values

Each time a Quick Merit is awarded to a student a congratulatory email will be automatically sent from Millennium to Parents/Carers acknowledging the student’s achievements.  Merits will accumulate and students will be rewarded accordingly.  The levels of the system are outlined below.

  • 1 x Quick Merit - Email to Parents/Carers
  • 10  x Quick Merits - BRONZE - Email to Parents - Certificate
  • 20 x Quick Merits - SILVER - Email to Parents - Certificate
  • 30 x Quick Merits - GOLD - Email to Parents - Certificate - Morning Tea - Reward Day Out (Jamberoo)
  • 50 x Quick Merits - PLATINUM - Email to Parents - Morning Tea - Reward Day Out (Jamberoo) - $20 Voucher - Principal Luncheon (held annually)

Each Term in Week 3 and Week 7 data is collated from Millennium and hard copies of certificates are printed.  Certificates are presented to students at Year Meeting Assemblies on Tuesday in Week 4 and Week 8.

The Quick Merit tally resets at the beginning of each school year and cuts off in mid-November each year to allow time to finalise preparations for the Jamberoo Rewards Day and Principal Luncheon.

Wollongong High School of the Performing Arts acknowledge the Wadi Wadi people of the Dharawal Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet. We acknowledge the Elders, past, present and future, of this land as well as Elders of the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These Elders hold the traditions, the dreams, the hopes and the culture that has been kept alive for thousands of years. Our school lies between the sacred site of Mt Geera and the five islands which are significant figures in Dharawal dreaming stories. These stories pass on the traditions, practices and customs that have sustained the oldest living culture in the world to this day. In between the mountains and the sea we meet together in harmony and stand firm in the reminder that this land is, was, and always will be traditional Aboriginal land.
