Positive Behaviour 4 Learning & Values

Positive Behaviour 4 Learning

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) School-wide is made up of practices and organisational systems that help schools create positive teaching and learning environments.

Based on international evidence, it looks at behaviour and learning from a whole-school as well as an individual child's perspective. School-wide takes the approach that opportunities for learning and achievement increase if:

• the school environment is positive and supportive
• expectations are consistently clear
• children and young people are consistently taught desired behaviours
• children and young people are consistently acknowledged for desired behaviours
• children and young people are consistently responded to in a fair and equitable way.

School leaders, teachers, students, and support staff are all involved.

Values

At Oratia we value:

• Respect/Manaakitanga – for myself, others and the environment.

• Responsibility/Takohanga – for myself, my possessions, for my learning and for aiming high.

• Risk taking/Tangohia te morea – to give new things a try.

• Resilience/Aumangea – to keep trying, even when things are difficult.

• Reflection/Whakaaroaro – to ask questions about my learning and how I can aim for excellence.
