Fostering Accountability and Growth Through Dialogue
Restorative Practices
Building a Culture of Respect and Understanding
Through restorative practices, we actively cultivate a culture of respect and understanding, helping students learn from their experiences while strengthening relationships within our community. This approach encourages open dialogue and accountability, fostering a sense of belonging that supports emotional and social development. By promoting collaboration and empathy, we empower students to navigate challenges effectively and contribute positively to our school environment.

When misbehaviour persists, teachers follow a structured protocol starting with restorative chats and parent communication. Collaborative meetings with a Dean or whānau teacher are essential, supported by daily behaviour reports that help students self-monitor and improve their conduct.
