What's Happening in Primary

Primary Character Focus - Obedience

For the remainder of Term 1 we shift our character focus from Attentiveness to Obedience. Character First defines obedience as “Cheerfully carrying out the directions and wishes of those who are responsible for me.” 

During the Monday assemblies we will dig a little deeper into what it means to have a strong character trait of obedience. Using the five "I will" statements (see below) students will learn ways in which they can display obedience and live it out. 

The five I will statements are:

• I will obey my authorities.
• I will have a cheerful attitude.
• I will complete all that am expected to do.
• I will not complain.
• I will go the extra mile.

Ephesians 6:1-3: Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother" which is the first commandment with a promise, "that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."
