Miramar North School started the Positive Behaviour for Learning School-Wide journey in 2022. PB4L School-Wide helps New Zealand schools build a culture where positive behaviour and learning is a way of life.

These are our TIKA values:

Team - Kotahitanga

Integrity - Ngākau pono

Kindness - Manaakitanga

Ako

In Te Reo Māori, TIKA means “to be correct, true, upright, right, just, fair, accurate, appropriate”.

We would like to update you on the next steps of our PB4L journey,

• Each class will continue to award certificates based on the TIKA values.

• Staff have developed a behaviour matrix, which identifies how the TIKA values will be shown in different environments at school. This year the students will be explicitly taught about the TIKA behaviour expectations at a class, syndicate and school level.

• Edge newsfeed posts will include a focus on the TIKA values.

• TIKA acknowledgements in the form of TIKA tickets will continue with a lucky TIKA ticket prize draw on a Friday.

It takes a village to raise a child…

We appreciate your support in this journey and it would be great if you could also make connections to these values outside of school. Below is a schedule to show when the values will be taught this term.
