The BEST way:
'The BEST way' has been developed from our school values (aroha, honesty, respect, responsibility & self-discipline) to support our akonga (learners) in representing these values in everything they do.
B = best "I will try my best at everything I do"
E = engaged "I will stay focused on the important things"
S = sensible "I will show that I am sensible in my actions and words."
T = thinking "I will think about the best decisions to make for my learning and when interacting with others."
Schoolwide Behaviour Matrix:
This has been created to support our students, by teaching them (and referring back to the matrix) how we would like them to behave at school for improved learning outcomes. The BEST way has been used our foundation of how to behave in each area of the school.
Student Problem Process:
Staff noticed that many students were getting involved in other people's problems/issues/incidents rather than allowing the staff to sort the problems out. This often resulted in several students running around in a heightened state during break times. At the time MAS were in the process of developing systems to support students in the playground and supporting staff with professional development based on the PB4L (positive behaviour for learning) approaches. The student problem process chart was a result of this work to support student efficacy.
