Learning is the driving force behind all we do at Greymouth High School and the PB4L team would like to recognise those students who demonstrate positive behaviours for learning.

Weekly Notes give students, parents and staff a really good indication of how students are engaging in learning experiences and the effort they are applying to meet learning outcomes.

In Week Four of Term Four there will be a whole school assembly where we will acknowledge and celebrate student success. In this assembly we will recognise the efforts of student at each year level with the top weekly note averages for Week One, Two and Three. Below is a copy of the Weekly Note Criteria - We encourage families to discuss the criteria so students are aware of what they need to do to reach their goals. A huge thanks to the PTA for supporting the prizes for this challenge.
