Every month, in the TDSB and at Bala we focus on a different character trait as part of our Character Education. We hold a monthly assembly to recognize students who have demonstrated the month's characteristic. Character education is integrated across the curriculum.

The character traits for the school year are:

September: Respect

October: Responsibility

November: Empathy

December: Kindness and Caring

January: Teamwork

February: Fairness

March: Honesty

April: Co-operation

May: Integrity

June: Perseverance
