Positive Behaviour for Learning

Waipu Primary is Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) school. This means that we utilise initiatives and strategies that help parents, whānau, ākonga (students) and teachers, address behaviour, improve children’s well-being, and increase educational achievement.

By strengthening relationships and creating more positive home and school environments, we remove barriers to engagement and improve students’ chances to achieve at school and beyond.

PB4L is a systematic approach involving a suite of initiatives. These include universal whole-school change initiatives, targeted group programmes, and individual student support services.
