Virtues to Live By

“I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.”

John 10:10

 

“Virtues to Live By” enables us all to explore each virtue over a three week period (two per half term) to improve the school community’s virtue literacy and to deepen understanding and appreciation of the essential role the virtues play in the education of the whole person towards human flourishing. The virtues chosen are common across cultures and faiths, but are sourced from the Christian tradition. They are linked directly to work in the Diocese of Leeds on the virtues and character education (see companion documents here dioceseofleeds.org.uk/education/re-catholic-life/character-education).

“Virtues to Live By” is a resource created by the Diocese of Leeds with the creative and financial support of the Leeds Diocesan Association of Primary Headteachers.

When taking part in virtue themed Worships, the children think about what the virtue means, how we can see it in others and how we can manifest it in ourselves. Each week, we look at a particular aspect of the virtue and an award is given to a member of each class in Friday's Star Worker assembly to a child who has 'lived' the virtue across the week. Acts of worships also link to the virtue. 

 

At Sacred Heart we have thought carefully about our school virtues and which are the most important to our pupils.  Every year we will focus on our 12 school virtues both in school and in our personal lives to develop ourselves as individuals and be the very best version of ourselves.
