Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking. *

 

 

At Hewson P.S. this year, we have been learning about the following positive character traits:
Honesty	Kindness	Courtesy
Respect	Compassion	Leadership
We believe that understanding and demonstrating these traits will help us become better citizens, students, relations, and friends.
Ask yourself – What does it look like? What does it feel like? What does it sound like? – at school, at home, in the community.

 

            We also believe that the “FISH Philosophy”** offers us strong direction as
            we interact with others in our school and our lives.

 

No one can always be right. So the struggle is to do one's best, to keep the brain and conscience clear, never be swayed by unworthy motives or inconsequential reasons, but to strive to unearth the basic factors involved, then do one's duty.  Dwight D. Eisenhower*

 

If you create a character, you create a destiny. André Maurois*

 

If you wish to achieve worthwhile things in your personal and career life, you must become a worthwhile person in your own self-development. Brian Tracy*

 

A man without character is like a ship without a rudder. Karl Maeser*
