The Privilege System
The school operates on a point system to encourage good behaviour. Students begin each week with 100 points and must maintain that number to be eligible to participate in the weekend activities. Extra points may be earned by doing extra chores, helping other students or staff, or reviewing news articles at lunchtime. Points are lost through inappropriate behaviour, such as swearing, spitting, smoking, stealing, fighting or for failing to complete assigned chores.

The Privilege List
Each Friday, points accumulated throughout the week are tallied and the list is read after lunch in order, from highest to lowest. Students possessing at least 100 points may take part in all weekend activities. Planned weekend activities generally include movies, mini-golf, bowling, skiing, skating, hiking, horseback riding, squash and other outings.

Non-Privileged Students
Students with less than 100 points on Friday afternoon may not participate in planned weekend activities. A non-privileged student is not permitted to leave the campus and may not receive any visitors. Instead they are assigned tasks such as scrubbing and mopping the kitchen and cleaning the dormitories.

Top Five
The first five students on the Privilege List each week are called the "Top Five" and are rewarded for their special effort. They enjoy a special event or outing, separate from the rest of the student body, such as a movie or being taken out to dinner.

Student of the Week
Each week, the SMCS staff chooses one student to be recognized for their exceptional behaviour and academic work. The Student of the Week is chosen based on academic effort, points earned, behaviour, attitude and general contribution to the life and positive atmosphere of the school. The Student of the Week is rewarded by having no assigned chore the following week and by being allowed one other special outing.Top Five
