Our vision: Waipipi Students are successful learners, who communicate confidently and interact positively with others.
Waipipi School Playground Behaviour Cards- a quick overview
Gold CardsPlayground System
Time Out
Playground and Bus System
Students who receive a gold
card for good behaviour/actions
go into a school assembly draw
to win a prize.
Two winners are drawn at each
school assembly.
The teachers give gold cards to
students showing our school
values:
Excellence, Respect,
Confidence, Sensitivity, Tolerance
and Honesty and the Key
Competencies: Managing Self,
Participating and Contributing,
Thinking and Relating to Others.
Students who receive a Time Out
card spend a set time on the
school’s administration deck to
consider their actions and to set
goals to improve. Time Out cards
are given where students have not
followed the school’s values and
key competencies. Some examples
include: swearing, hitting, throwing
sand, bullying, not listening to a
staff member, misbehaviour on the
school bus (standing up, moving
around, verbal and physical
inappropriate behaviour)
Wet Day Procedure
If it is raining when you pick
up your children from the
car park you will find them
taking shelter in Room 2.
