PB4L
Our school promotes Positive Behaviour
Our school promotes Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L). We expect all students, teachers and whanau to demonstrate our values.
We support our students to follow these four values by teaching and practising our expectations, just as we do for reading, writing, maths and other curriculum areas.
These values are supported by the golden rules of circle time:
Rewarding Positive Behaviour
There are many ways that we acknowledge and reward students for following the school wide expectations of responsibility, respect and relationships and resilience. Some of these are:
- Gotchas
- Whanau Tokens
- Classroom Rewards
- Team Certificates
- Principal’s Awards
- Whole School Rewards
Curriculum
The building blocks of our curriculum are Reading, Writing and Maths.
While we acknowledge that students have different starting points and progress at different rates, our aspirational goal is for all students to meet or exceed the appropriate curriculum level. We focus on achievement but place a high value on progress as well as effort.
Our teachers provide a future focussed curriculum with an emphasis on Science, Technology and Inquiry. They explore significant future-focussed issues such as sustainability, digital citizenship, enterprise and globalisation. They benefit from up to date, evidence-based teaching and learning practices.
