Caught, Taught, Sought - The Habit of Flourishing
All schools teach character, but often unintentionally. Too often we are focused on the endpoint - perhaps successful alumni, or inspirational people from history. What virtues could or should we be developing? If ‘we are what we repeatedly do’, what habits are needed to help our school communities flourish?
