New School Reward System

The previous award system at DSMS meant that if pupils behaved, did well in lessons or deserved a praise they would get achivement points which would build up until they wanted to spend them on a DSMS Mug, a pen, pencil or even iTunes vouchers if they got enough points. However this system has been scrapped.

The new system is called Vivo and they currently have 1,172,578 users around the globe. Pupils build up their points the same way and they get logged on a computer however the main difference is that it is an online system so pupils can see how many points they have from home. When the points have built up, pupils then use them to buy prizes of the Vivo website. They have loads of options of things to do with their points including getting phone top-ups, donating money to charity, buying footballs and even buying camping mats. All of the options will be available for pupils to see when they log in.
