Character Development at Anson Taylor
Character development is about helping students learn and practise positive character attributes, which will help them not only do their best, but be their best.
When we build good character, we build strong communities. In the Anson Taylor community, character development is woven into our programs, practices and interactions. It becomes a way of life. Student success is dependent on a safe, caring and inclusive learning environment where all students feel valued. This starts by teaching our students about the value of character -- respecting themselves and each other, making positive contributions to their school and community, and thinking critically and creatively.
Character development is a shared responsibility. Together with the school, family and community members engage and cooperate to reinforce the importance of character development. Our monthly sharing assemblies highlight the learning in each classroom.
