Character Education
AIMS:
'We need good character to lead ethical, productive, and fulfilling lives. We need good character to create a just, compassionate, and productive society.’ (Lickona in Arthur et al., 2015, p. 4)
We place great importance on developing our pupils’ ‘character’ through Character Education. We aim to develop our pupils’ personal development and strengthen their character and resilience.
Character Education brings to the forefront a developed, more meaningful way of exploring human characteristics and virtues and how these develop one’s ability to engage positively within: socialisation situations and academic challenge.
Character Education descriptions and educational aims vary globally and regionally. Our vision is based on our core values and the understanding that character development celebrates the positive aspects of human growth by identifying core virtues, across themes, which lead to a meaningful life and personal growth.
