WHAT IS PB4L?
 Positive Behaviour for Learning was ultimately designed to
address inappropriate behaviour in children and young people.
Led by the Ministry of Education, it is a joint initiative
between a number of education sector organisations and is
delivered by the Ministry in partnership with non governmental organisations, early childhood sector
organisations, and Resource Teachers: Learning and
Behaviour (RT:LB).

WHAT IS PB4L?
 The programme is actually a
collection of programmes for
schools, teachers and parents;
all are aimed to promote
positive behaviour. The
rationale behind PB4L is that by
improving students’ behaviour
and their home and school
environments, their
engagement and achievement
will consequently improve. It
hinges on the premise that
positive behaviour can be
learned and dif ficult and
disruptive behaviour can be
unlearned.

THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND PB4L
 Positive Behaviour for Learning believes:
 positive behaviour can be learnt and dif ficult and disruptive
behaviour can be unlearnt
 individual children are not a ‘problem’ – we need to change
the environment around them to support positive behaviour
 punishing and isolating children doesn’t bring about long -term
and sustainable changes in behaviour
 we need to concentrate on a small number of evidence -based
programmes and frameworks that we know work
 there are no quick fixes. Behaviour change takes time.
R.I.S.E CARD POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR SYSTEM
Small RED cards that can be given by
ANY staff member in ANY school
setting: Class, playground, assembly,
sports etc. When you receive a card it
can be ‘cashed in’.
HOW CAN STUDENTS GET THEM?
 By displaying any of the 4 School Values :
 RESPECT: Towards others-teachers, classmates, all adults,
using basic manners & being polite, wearing correct uniform
with pride, respecting the learning & school environments
 INTEGRIT Y: Being honest, responsible, organised, prepared,
doing the right thing, following school policies & rules
 SERVICE: To others, holding doors open for teachers, helping,
picking up rubbish, doing jobs, duties , kindness,
consideration, work around the school, volunteering and
assisting others, using your initiative
 ENDURANCE: Doing your best, ef fort, positive attitude, staying
on task, completing work, homework, assignments
WHAT DO I DO WITH THEM?
When you receive a R.I.S.E card you
need to clearly write your name and
class on the card and tick the correct
school value it has been received for.
You then have 3 options when you
earn a R.I.S.E Card .
PUT THEM IN THE R.I.S.E PRIZE DRAW
Place the card in any R.I.S.E box around the
school to go in the Y7/Y8 weekly R.I.S.E draw.
(5 names from each Year level). If your name is
picked out in the draw, you can CHOOSE from
the chart to redeem ANY one of the weekly
rewards. There is also an end of term draw for
a major prize, so you get a 2 nd chance for every
card you have in the draw!!!
