Our Core Values
Our Core Values
The children have helped create the following actions today in assembly to support the learning and understanding our Core Values.
Embedding Our Core Values is essential:
- Early Formation: Our children begin to form their understanding of the world and their values. By embedding our Core Values at this stage, we are laying a foundation for ethical behaviour and decision-making throughout their lives.
- Character Development: Our Core Values of Respect, Responsibility, Courage and Wisdom are crucial for character development. These values shape how our children interact with others and navigate various situations.
- Positive School Culture: These help us create a positive and supportive environment where we all share common values.
- Conflict Resolution: Teaching our Core Values helps our children learn conflict resolution skills. They understand the importance of empathy, compromise, and communication in resolving disagreements peacefully.
- Academic Success: Research suggests that schools with strong character education programs often see improvements in academic performance, as students develop the social and emotional skills necessary for learning effectively.
- Preparation for Citizenship: Instilling our Core Values helps prepare our children to become responsible citizens in their communities. They learn the importance of contributing positively to society and respecting diverse perspectives.
- Resilience Building: Our Core values of Responsibility and Courage are critical for overcoming challenges and setbacks. By reinforcing these values early on our children develop the resilience needed to tackle obstacles later in life.
Overall, embedding our Core Values sets the stage for our children to become compassionate, responsible, and ethical individuals who contribute positively to our community!
