The Virtues Project at Hokowhitu School
Page 2
How will this work at school?
We will focus on a different virtue each week. This will be introduced to children at a brief assembly on Monday mornings. Over the week teachers will focus on the virtue in their classrooms and in the playground. Children found demonstrating a virtue in the playground will be given a “Virtues Voucher’ which goes into a draw for a small prize at the next school assembly.
Examples of How We Will Use Virtues:
