Recognise the Behaviour You Want to See More Of
Schools spend a lot of time tracking what goes wrong. Values & House Points is the other side of that equation — a fast, visible way to acknowledge students who demonstrate the qualities your school cares about.
Recognition in Seconds
A teacher sees a student help a classmate, show resilience on a difficult task, or demonstrate leadership during group work. They open the student's profile, tap the relevant value, and the award is logged. The student's house earns a point. The whole interaction takes a few seconds and happens within the normal flow of a lesson.
- Open the student's profile with a quick search
- Tap the relevant value — Respect, Integrity, Kindness, or any custom value
- The award is logged and the student's house earns a point automatically
Built for Real Schools
Speed is critical — if recognition takes too long, it doesn't happen, and the student never hears about it.
One-Tap Awards
Large, accessible buttons make it fast to recognise students in the moment. Teachers don't need to fill in forms — just tap the student and tap the value.
Fully Customisable
Add, edit, or remove values to match your school's character framework. If you call it "Manaakitanga" instead of "Kindness," the system uses your word.
House Integration
Every value award earns a point for the student's house. A live leaderboard shows the running totals, visible to teachers and students.
Character
Academic
Social
A Balanced Set of Values Across Three Categories
The system ships with a balanced set of values across Character, Academic, and Social categories. Each value has a distinct icon — badge, shield, star, lightbulb, heart, and more — so the interface is visually scannable.
- Add values that reflect your school's specific character framework
- Edit existing values to change names, icons, or colours
- Organise into categories — character, academic, social, or any custom grouping
A Positive Record That Follows the Student
When a form tutor writes a report or a year coordinator meets with a parent, they have specific examples of positive behaviour to reference — not just a list of things that went wrong.
- Total awards — broken down by value type
- Today's awards — what they've been recognised for in the current session
- Last award date — when they were last recognised
- Teacher attribution — who gave each award, creating an audit trail
What Schools Actually Use It For
Positive Reinforcement at Scale
Individual praise matters, but it's hard to do consistently across a whole school. Values & House Points gives every teacher a quick way to recognise positive behaviour that the student, their house, and the school community can all see.
House Competition
House point totals give inter-house competition a transparent, data-driven foundation. Students see that their actions contribute to their house's standing. Schools display the leaderboard on common-area screens, in assemblies, and in newsletters.
Balancing Behaviour Data
When a school tracks infringements and tardiness, it's important to also track the positive. Values & House Points ensures that a student's profile isn't just a list of things that went wrong — it includes the things that went right.
Recognising Quieter Students
Students who are consistently kind, helpful, or hardworking often go unrecognised because they don't cause problems. A quick-tap recognition system makes it easy to acknowledge these students in the moment.
Move Values from a Poster on the Wall to a Lived Part of School Culture
If your school's strategic plan talks about respect, resilience, and integrity, Values & House Points makes those words actionable. Teachers use them daily. Students hear them regularly. The values move from a poster on the wall to a lived part of the school culture.
