“ Honesty is always the best policy, even when it’s not the trend ”
Win @ Life is one of the initiatives started to build the attitude and values of each child. It creates a strong learning environment that enhances academic achievement and develops students' social and relationship skills that last throughout their lives.
One period every day is dedicated for building this.
We have invested on various books, videos, materials etc to develop the Childs attitude from the beginning.
Values are introduced in assembly each month children become familiar with values.
Lots of basic training is needed, especially in the early years: manners, routines, picking up the positive and giving praise when children show respect etc.
We have high expectations and clear boundaries: the foundation of good values require good discipline.
We aim for a calm, reflective atmosphere which facilitates contemplation. Then the children get to know themselves better and develop a sense of responsibility for their own lives and happiness.
At the start of the year class rules are decided with the children: the rules are then real and meaningful for the children.
Opportunities are taken to discuss values throughout the curriculum.
As teachers, we try to live the values: we teach best by being role models.
Teachers are especially mindful of the activities that promote positive thinking and incorporate these into their teaching as much as possible. These include:
