Builds a Strong Sense of Community and Peer Support
The principles of the Choose Respect Charter help to build a strong sense of community within the school. By recognizing the inherent worth of every individual, students learn to value diversity and the unique contributions that each person brings to the table. This sense of community extends to supporting one another during difficult times, including when experiencing failure. By learning to offer and receive support, students develop essential collaboration and teamwork skills that will serve them in their future endeavours as changemakers. 4. Develops Responsible Citizens and Future Leaders
The Choose Respect Charter encourages students to take responsibility for their actions and choices, fostering a sense of accountability and ethical decision- making. By understanding the consequences of their actions, students are better equipped to make responsible choices that benefit not only themselves but also their community and the world at large. This foundation in responsibility and ethics is crucial for
developing the next generation of leaders and changemakers.
5. Provides a Standard of Behaviour to Work Towards The Choose Respect Charter acknowledges that every member of the school community will fall short of its principles at times. However, by providing an explicit standard of behaviour, the Charter helps students understand what is right and acceptable. This gives them a benchmark to strive for, promoting continuous improvement and personal growth, even when faced with challenges and setbacks.
