This evening, during our Wednesday House Assembly we discussed about values and their importance in everyone’s life.

After a short introduction, the boys have been asked to reply to the following questions:

• What are values?
• Why are values important in life?
• Which values do you think we are trying to promote in our Boarding community?
• How would you teach values to someone such a younger brother/sister  for instance?

These are some of the values that we consider the boys are constantly exposed to simply by living the Boarding experience. We believe it is also essential to show clearly what are the ideas behind our programme and make sure the boys learn to name these crucial elements for a healthy and happy life.

The boys have been also asked to share their answers and choose their “favorite” value… this is the outcome:

courage, trust and autonomy

It was amazing to see that despite the young age, all the boys agreed that the most effective way to teach values is by setting the example… an important warning for all the adults gravitating around them!
