HUNTER'S BAR INFANT SCHOOL
Citizen Awards
Our Learning Legends help to congratulate us for our fantastic learning and our good choices.
At the heart of our community are our Citizen Awards, celebrating the wonderful qualities our children display every day. Each week, one child from each class is chosen as the Citizen of the Week, recognising their outstanding demonstration of key virtues.
Children can earn Dojos by showing traits such as being Safe, Respectful, Responsible, Kind, and Helpful. Whether following safety rules, showing kindness to friends, or helping others, our pupils learn the importance of positive behaviour and teamwork. We believe in nurturing caring, responsible, and confident learners who contribute to a happy, respectful school environment.
Congratulations to all our young citizens for their wonderful efforts!
