Character Education
Character Education Initiative
Character education teaches the habits of thought and deed that help people live and work together as families, friends, neighbors, communities and nations. Each month Heritage International School will focus on one of our character attributes.
Each month Heritage will focus on one of our character attributes, as follows
Respect – Acting in a way that shows care for how your actions may impact others.
Consideration – being careful not to cause inconvenience or hurt to others.
Integrity – We act justly and honourably in all that we do.
Generosity – Wanting to help those in need and always willing to share.
Honesty – We behave in a sincere, trustworthy and truthful manner.
Inclusiveness – We include everyone in what we do and value their contributions.
Empathy – being able to understand how someone else is feeling.
Optimism – We maintain a positive attitude and have hope for the future.
Sportsmanship – When people who are playing or watching a sport treat each other with respect.
Responsibility – We are accountable for our actions and we follow through on commitments.
How are students recognized?
When a student demonstrates an exceptional act of good character, their teacher and classmates will elect them to be awarded the certificate at the end of the month at the morning assembly.
What is the incentive for the students?
We teach our students to be kind and do their best every single day, not just to earn recognition, but because it is the right thing to do.
