Our values are the important qualities that we try to live by. We show these in the way we as people (both staff and pupils) go about in our work and in our relationships within our school, community and wider world.

At Pukeatua we value:

Whakaute (Respect)

Treat others how you want to be treated.

Manaakitanga (Caring & Sharing)

Be caring and thankful for everything in our world

Ngana (Commitment)

Always try your best, never give up.

Tuakiri (Identity)

Be proud of who you are and where you come from.

Each class teaches what these values means for them and those around them at school. We encourage our students to express these values at home and in the community.

These values are celebrated at school through class, school, and team awards, at assemblies in front of whanau, at Principal’s termly values celebration and at end of year prize givings.

Positive Behaviour For Learning

Pukeatua School is partaking in Positive Behaviour For Learning, PB4L. This is a 3 year commitment to evaluating our values and behaviour expectations through this Ministry of Education funded framework. This is an exciting opportunity which will strengthen further our four key values.
