TREE Targets

Information about TREE

The TREE Project (Towards Responsibility for Education and Employment) is the system used in school for recognising and rewarding good behaviour.

 

Branches

There are 5 branches or areas where pupils can set and achieve targets for their behaviour:

  1. Friendship
  2. Service
  3. Justice
  4. Creation
  5. Community

Leaves

Each of the branches is broken down into separate targets that are appropriate to the child’s age. These are displayed on a class target sheet on the TREE display in each classroom. When a child achieves one of the targets it is ticked off on the chart. The first three targets from each section are in a bold font and these must be achieved along with two others.

When the child has achieved 5 of the targets they are rewarded with a leaf, with their name on, to put onto the class tree.

Each week one of the targets is highlighted during the Friday Celebration Assembly and that becomes a special target to work towards during the following week.

 

Golden Apples

When a child has achieved all of their leaves they become a ‘Golden Apple’ which is rewarded by an end of year treat.

Children begin each year with a blank target sheet and can, therefore, achieve a Golden Apple each year. 

Here are the TREE Targets. Remember that the first three in bold font must be achieved along with two others from each section to enable pupils to receive their Golden Apple Award.
