Kia ora koutou,
At Puketapu we are proud to be a PB4L (Positive Behaviour for Learning) School.
PB4L School-Wide looks at behaviour and learning from a whole-of-school as well as an individual child perspective. The framework is based on international evidence.
The Positive Behaviour for Learning School-Wide framework, otherwise known as PB4L School-Wide, is helping New Zealand schools build a culture where positive behaviour and learning is a way of life. The framework can be tailored to your school’s own environment and cultural needs.
It’s not about changing the students; it’s about changing the environment, systems and practices you have in place to support them to make positive behaviour choices.
We teach our students expectations at our school. Here are some of the our expectations that we have been teaching at the start of the year.
PB4L Expectations:
Walkways are for walking - All students are to walk under the walkways, scootering and biking happen in their designated areas.
The School Driveway is just for cars - no families or students are to walk down the school driveway.
Hats - all staff and students are to wear hats when they are outside in Term 1 (we model what we want to see)
We are kind to others in our environment - we don't throw dirt on the dirt pile
We only wear hats outside, not inside.
Many classes have also taken on the 3G's:
Greet, Get Ready for Learning, Gratitude - we love being greeted in the morning and also greeting others, we get ready for our learning and we give thanks and show gratitude at the end of the day.
Thanks for a great week.
