THE PRINCIPAL'S AWARD:

 It was  in 2001, the St. Monica's Rainbow of Values was formed. This Rainbow highlighted the value that each Standard would keep in an effort to build sound character in our children.

As a staff, the following values were agreed upon:

Self Control (Senior Infants)

Friendliness (Std. 1)

Compassion (Std. 2)

Tolerance (Std. 3)

Honesty (Std. 4)

Reliability (Std.5)

Perseverance (Teachers)

These were to be lived and discussed at every level and demonstrated each day. The younger charges were challenged to learn the correct spelling, the part-of-speech, the meaning and ultimately to model the value as best as possible.

It was in 2006 that the Principal's Award was introduced. This award was given to the student chosen by both classmates and staff as having the qualities of a true S.M.P. role model. This student showed graet academic prowess, social skills and a definite characterization of the Rainbow of Values.
