Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L)

KingsGate School is a PB4L-SW school. PB4L-SW stands for ‘Positive Behaviour for Learning – School Wide’.

PB4L is a Ministry of Education framework that helps schools to develop a positive school culture that supports learning and positive behaviour. The concept behind this is that like learning, behaviour is a skill that needs to be taught. PB4L helps to change the environment, systems and practices to support children to make positive choices.

PB4L-SW is a framework that underpins our school’s special character, vision and values. Our values are…

S – strength         E – empathy           R – respect           V – vision            E - endurance

When a Student Demonstrates our School Values

AT THE END OF THE DAY

The classroom teacher awards house points for every S.E.R.V.E card earned that day

A runner takes the classroom box to the office to be emptied.

The cards all go into the assembly draw box.

AT ASSEMBLY EVERY THREE WEEKS

At assemblt 10 cards will be drawn out. If a child had their card pulled out they will go to Miss TJ's office to claim their prize after assembly.

Any undrawn cards get added to the end of term box.

AT THE END OF TERM 

At the end of term, if the whole school has filled the box with S.E.R.V.E. cards they will earn an end of term reward.

The Kaiarahi (student guides) of the winning house  will choose what he reward will be.
