Our Positive Behaviour For Learning (PB4L) values are reflected in our school culture. By strengthening relationships in a positive environment, we remove barriers to engagement and improve students’ chances to achieving at school and beyond.

Our values centre around the following:

Fairness / Tautikatanga

Treating others with the respect you in turn expect.

Diversity/ Ngā Rerekatanga

Acknowledging that not everyone is the same.

Creativity / Auahatanga

The act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality.

Sustainability / Tautiakitanga

The ability to maintain an environment or behaviour indefinitely.

The following matrix outlines how these values can be applied in different settings:
