Wellbeing
Exploring Character Strengths are not just for the kids! The staff have been busy exploring and unpacking their own character strengths as well. We have put them all on display for everyone to see, this way we can work with everyone's strengths and take full advantage of them. If we are in need of honesty, leadership or some extra zest we know which staff will be best suited to helping us with our problem!
They are just by the staff room so pop your head around the corner and have a look at the strengths the staff at MPRPS have!
With gratitude,
The Wellbeing Team.
