Virtues Formation

The notion of virtue is deeply rooted in Catholic Christian tradition. It is in a community of caring, committed partners that we find the space and time to become our best selves. In a school community, virtue formation contributes to a healthy positive learning environment by fostering a climate in which all members feel safe, confident and hope-filled about themselves, their relationships and their futures.

A virtue is a habit or established capability to perform good actions according to a moral standard. In other words, a virtue is a habit that shows people and God that I am a good person. Each month we will look at developing one of these virtues: Faith Empathy Conscience Hope Self-control Respect Kindness Love Acceptance Fairness   We will make the effort to treat other students and the adults in our school according to the demands of these virtues. And we will celebrate the progress we make to be a more virtuous Catholic school—a place of safety, caring and inclusivity for all.
