PB4L–School Wide is an evidence-based framework for implementation that looks at behaviour and learning from a whole-of-school as well as an individual student perspective.

It provides schools with a process for teaching social and behavioural skills and helps them to develop a positive, proactive, and systematic approach based on school data. It takes the approach that opportunities for learning and achievement increase if:

• the school environment is positive and supportive
• expectations are consistently clear
• students are consistently taught expected behaviours
• expected behaviours are consistently acknowledged
• inappropriate behaviours are consistently responded to in a fair and equitable way.

Here at Darfield Primary School we aim to provide a positive school climate and to create a supportive environment for personal, social, and academic growth for students and staff. Our school-wide PB4L plan is essentially an instrument to enable the goals of the school to be achieved, especially the goals of student achievement.

Darfield's PB4L Purpose Statement is our PB4L Compass! To drive the positive changes:

Darfield Primary School will consistently encourage school-wide positive behaviour through our High-5 school values in a safe, inclusive and encouraging environment.

It is our sincere aim that through the development of the Darfield High Five, our children will develop the attitudes, skills and knowledge needed to become confident, motivated, self-directed lifelong learners/ākonga.
