STARS click cards system
How this system will work is that you will get a STARS click card. There is 40 spots where you can get clicked but you can only get clicked if you are there on that day and if you do not have a cross next to your name. If you get all of those 40 clicks you can get a STARS bracelet to wear. If you get 3 stars bands you will get a stars badge to wear.
There are also STARS cards which you can get if you have been seen by a teacher for displaying the STARS. If you have got one, each 2 weeks at house hui you will go into the draw to win a Burger king voucher. You have to put your name on it and then drop it into the library to be in the draw for a STARS hoodie but there is only one per house. At the end of the year there will be a bike given away for one person only.
