Character Education

The Future Aces Creed

A

I will try to develop a positive mental attitude toward all people and toward my work.
I will try to develop my talents and ability in order that I may be helpful to society.
I will try to use my talents and act upon my ability, for without action I am limited.
I will try, through a positive mental attitude, through my ability and through my actions, to advance not only the values that are important to me, but also the values that are important to others.
I will try to achieve my goal by honest and sincere effort.

C

I will try to co-operate and seek understanding with all people, regardless of colour, race or creed.
I will try to act courageously, standing for what is right and speaking out against what is wrong.
I will try to be confident without being arrogant.

E

I will try to acquire the best education within my capability.
I will try to set a good example to others.

S

I will try to render service to others.
I will try to be a good sport in all my decisions, recognizing fair play to all, not complaining about adverse situations, but accepting the good with the bad”.

The Future Aces Creed is posted in every classroom and teaching space in the school. Our staff members acknowledge, congratulate, encourage and reward students for their positive behaviour in a number of ways, both formally and informally. “Future Ace Mini Alerts” are regularly awarded to students who are seen demonstrating the Future Aces creed. They are given a certificate. Their names are read on morning announcements. Students who consistently demonstrate adherence to the philosophy are named “Future Aces” and receive acknowledgement and an award at monthly Future Aces Assemblies.
