This week during one of the 6th class Philosophy lessons, a student raised the question, “Is it better to lead a good life, or a happy life?” A great question to consider even though the two are not mutually exclusive. What it highlighted, is that if the aim is to develop good character, then everything else including happiness, follows from that. The idea of developing good character lies at the heart of everything that we do with the children and is regularly displayed in their behaviour. Our whole system of giving Value Awards is built around supporting this.
