Signs around school

As a part of our homework, we were asked to look around the school and see what pieces of media had been used to portray messages to staff/students and visitors of the school
The main messages were based around

  • bullying
  • racism
  • respect for the school
  • colds/ flu
  • smoking
  • litter
  • equality
This media is used to improve the environment of the school and improve the school in general for the benefit of students and staff. Most signs are positive/ convey positive messages.


Again our main message around the school was respect - equality.

Instructive language is also used for a lot of the messages and signs that are posted around the school, for example, one that is used a lot as it is the school motto - "Success is an Attitude." - these short and blunt messages are simplistic but grabs the attention of people walking past.

Overall, the messages the school are placing around are conveying statements and asking students/staff questions throughout their day, this links to productive learning,it motivates the students as well as questioning them. They are subconsciously asking the students questions and giving them something to think about throughout their day at school - improving their attitude towards learning and towards others.
