Positive Behaviour for Learning:

We are now a positive behaviour for learning school. Positive Behaviour for Learning initiatives help parents, whānau, teachers, and schools address problem behaviour, improve children’s well-being, and increase educational achievement.

By strengthening relationships and creating more positive home and school environments we remove barriers to engagement and improve students’ chances to achieve at school and beyond. PB4L is a long-term, systemic approach involving ten initiatives. These include whole-school change initiatives, targeted group programmes, and individual student support services. Five of the initiatives are in development.

We are looking for a parent representative to be on our team at school. If you are interested in joining this team, please contact the office and let them know. If you would like to find out more please visit the Positive Behaviour for Learning website:
