Can you imagine the excitement in our house with Danny getting a Semper Magis Certificate for his magnificent performances in the football matches the other day! It is amazing to see what effect a simple reward like this has on his enthusiasm and confidence. He is so proud and so excited. I hope it leads to more exciting football matches in the future!
Incidentally, this wasn't his first Semper Magis Certificate, he got one at the end of last term for 'The St Ignatius Prayer'. At least it shows that he is able to learn something off by heart if he has to. The boys really feel important when they get one of these certificates!
Danny also got his 5m swimming badge and certificate just before Christmas. He put on a fine performance at the distance test (and actually swam a bit further than 5m because he was determine to go all the way across the pool all by himself without stopping). Once again it is amazing to see what effect the positive rewards had on him. Some children are really driven by praise and rewards!
