Restorative Practice
Tirimoana is a Restorative Practice School
PB4L Restorative Practice is a relational approach, focussing on building and maintaining positive relationships across the school community.
It provides a framework for the school community to use best- practice, tools and techniques so mutual respect, inclusion, mana, and personal responsibility are maintained.
