Restorative Justice

The students and teachers in this school are proponents of Restorative Justice practices.

This means that when wrongdoing has been done the key considerations are to:

• Bring together those who have been affected in a safe and controlled atmosphere to repair and restore the harm that has been done.

• Promote accountability, well-being of those harmed.

• Work together to decide how best to deal with the incident.

• Place value on respect, honesty, humility, mutual care and trust.

Restorative practices happen:

• In class with the teacher (restorative chats)

• With Heads of Departments, Deans

• With the person who has been hurt

• With their whanau and your whanau

• With members of the senior management team

• With the Principal
