Team Behaviour Process
We have many ways in which we encourage positive behaviour, with house points, classdojo points, Incentive coupons and certificates. Sometimes this isn’t enough and a different consequence is needed.
The following is the procedure we will follow as a team for unacceptable behaviour. This rarely applies to most students but it is important to recognise that this is the procedure we will follow.

Third Warning 1 written beside name

A child may move back down the steps should positive behaviours take over.
This year our team will continue to use the PRIME Mathematics Programme during cross-grouping. The PRIME Mathematics Programme is sequential, revisiting concepts and building on these so your child is confident to move to the next step. The programme builds a solid foundation in Mathematics, developing a conceptual understanding with a strong focus on problem solving.
The programme is aligned with the New Zealand Curriculum and will support your child to meet the expected curriculum level.
Please ensure that your child has the appropriate stationery for school so that we can limit distractions from formal lessons and activities.
