This week in our Wellbeing Pillar: Making Safe and Responsible Choices, the focus was on a vital skill for building positive relationships—empathy.

During our House Meeting, the Advocates Team guided the students through an engaging video that explored what empathy really means, why it can sometimes be difficult, and how it plays a key role in understanding and supporting others.

The main goal of this session was to help students reflect on how empathy grows through active listening, perspective-taking, and showing kindness in daily interactions.

The group had the chance to share their thoughts and examples of when empathy made a difference in their own friendships and community. It was a great step forward in building stronger, more understanding relationships in our boarding family.
