2012 RUBRICS FOR CLASSROOM CLEANLINESS ASSESSMENT

Attention : Form Tutors & Class Committees of All Classes

Your classes will be jointly assessed by 2 teams (on rotation) who are members of the Green
Club; based on the following 10 criteria. The same assessors from one team will be assessing
all the classrooms of the 24 lower sec classes, while the other assessors will assess all the
classes of the upper secondary levels. The results of the assessment will be published on-line
after each assessment.
The cumulative results will be used to determine the level Class Champion at the end of the
year making up 20% of the total score for the Interclass Championships.
