Week 9 Term 3 - Make positive choices and decisions

WALT: Make an honest attempt to do your personal best

Some decisions you make aren’t terribly important. For example, you might decide to have chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. But other decisions may involve a choice between right and wrong, and sometimes it’s not easy to know what to do. Whenever you aren’t sure what is the right thing to do, stop and think! Ask yourself these questions:

• What does my conscience - that little voice inside my head say about it?

• Could it hurt anyone, including me?

• Is it fair?

• Would it violate the golden rule? (how would I feel if someone did it to me?)

• Have I ever been told that it was wrong?

• Deep down, how do I feel about it?

• How will I feel about myself later if I do it?

• What would adults I respect say about it?

If you still cannot decide, talk it over with someone you trust and respect.
