Respectful, Engaged and Active Learners. This is we want our students to be and at Mitchell High we help students try to achieve this through explicit teaching of behaviours across various settings within the school. Whether it is in the classroom, the library, the playground or the hall students at Mitchell should strive to be REAL students and they are encouraged and rewarded to behave in the ways in which they have been taught.
REALies are a large part of the rewarding system. These are small purple awards that are given to students when commendable and appropriate behavioiurs are observed. These REALies can be collected and exchanged for a REAL certificate, which in turn are collected and exchanged for Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards throughout their schooling at MHS.
