Children are rewarded with BUGS (a basic unit of goodness) by their teachers. All teachers give out BUGS to recognise and reinforce student achievement.
These bugs will be signed (and dated often) by the teacher. Children collect the bugs and trade them for Gold Certificates during the year. It is important that they keep their BUGS safe.
Bugs can be traded for Gold Certificates. Gold Awards can be traded for Principal's Awards, School Pennants, Silver Stars, Gold Stars and School Medals.
Stage 2 and 3 students can trade Merit Awards, Citizenship Awards and Sports Awards for Gold Awards (a combination of four awards can be traded for a Gold Award).
Note: Gold Awards can also be earned for other achievements.
The collection of bugs and certificates ceases at the end of each year.
