Positive Behaviour 4 Learning (PB4L)

This is an overview of how Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) is practised in our school.

Respectful – Kia Ngākau Māhaki

The expectations are that all ākonga at Reporoa Primary will be polite to everyone. They will be responsible for looking after themselves, their peers, and the environment. They will show an awareness of how words and actions affect others.

Engaged – Kia Whai Tikanga

The expectations are that all ākonga at Reporoa Primary School will be focussed on learning in all forms. They will be actively involved throughout their school career.

Positive – Kia Oranga Ngākau

The expectations are that all ākonga at Reporoa Primary School will use positive language at all times. They will show pride in themselves and our school.

Striving – Kia Māia

The expectations are that all ākonga at Reporoa Primary School will try their best, challenge themselves, and support others in their attempts to do so.

During break times the teacher on will duty hand out GOTCHA tickets when they notice ākonga demonstrating any of the REPS values. Each week, all GOTCHA tickets go into a prize box that will be drawn at whole school assemblies.

When ākonga earn…

20 GOTCHA = Bronze wristband + 10 whare tokens

+30 GOTCHA = Silver wristband + 15 whare tokens

+40 GOTCHA = Gold wristband + 20 whare tokens

+50 GOTCHA = Rangatira badge + 25 whare tokens and lunch with the principal!

As ākonga work towards these rewards for themselves, they are also working towards whare tokens to add to their school whare total. Whare tokens will be entered into a token box and the whare with the most tokens at the end of each term will receive a co-constructed reward. This supports collaboration as part of a team as they work together to achieve a common goal.
