Dear Parents,

Welcome back to a new school year and a special and heartfelt welcome to all our new families. 

24 Character Strengths

As part of our Physical Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) syllabus, our focus is developing character strengths across our school. These 24 character strengths are positive aspects of our personality and impact how we think, feel and behave. Character strengths are a tool for teaching positive education and are a way of explicitly developing skills. 

This fortnight, students have revised the 24 character strengths in their Health lessons. 

This year, SFX will focus on the following:

Term 1

Fairness - I treat people the way I like to be treated

Term 2

Creativity - I like to use my imagination 

Term 3

Perseverance - I don’t give up easily. I try and try and try.

Term 4

Hope - I believe good things will happen. I set lots of goals. 

In addition to our character strength focus, we also have a number of key events which will focus on developing our students over health and wellbeing as well as acknowledging key qualities about themselves. 

Week 4- Healthy Friendship Week: 20th of February- 24th of February

Week 8- Harmony Day: 21st of March 2023

Kind regards,

Nick Criniti

Coordinator
