Character &
Personal Development
There is no more important task than helping our pupils develop the qualities and traits that define the best of humanity; those traits which will enable them to live happy and meaningful lives.
“Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.”
Heraclitus
