Why PB4L?

We acknowledge that we face a number of challenges with behaviour on a daily basis in our school. Traditional, punitive approaches to managing behaviour no longer sit alongside our philosophy of inclusive, respectful and relationship based education. 

PB4L is evidence based, Ministry of Education endorsed and based on the essential principles of behaviour and contexts. It is designed to be individualised for each school, it is framework based for consistency and involves explicit teaching of key core behaviours for sustainability.  

Desired outcomes

Our desired outcome is a school where we are inclusive, positive, proactive, educative, corrective and restorative. All students and staff will benefit from a sense of belonging to a positive environment. This will in turn increase outcomes of success.
