The teams crazy big idea is a plug-in program or app that links with school platforms like Compass, giving teachers a one-press way to reward students for effort, kindness and participation, whatever matters most to them and their students. Students rack up points that can be traded for experiences or real rewards, like choosing a fun activity or scoring vouchers to local businesses. It’s not about being top of the class, it’s about showing up, trying hard, and getting recognised for it.
To bring the idea to life, a Year 9 class will work with their teacher to co-design a custom reward system. Together, they’ll agree on what behaviours to celebrate, what rewards feel fair, and how often students can spin the “Wheel of Rewards.” It’s fun, it’s personalised, and it proves that when students feel heard, they show up even more.
