OUR CORE VALUESRESPECT FOR SELF RESPECT FOR OTHERS OTHERSRESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
VALUES ATTITUDES APPROACHES JUDGEMENTS WHICH UNDERLIE ALL WE DO, SAY AND THINK UNWRITTEN RULES
“My children always come first” “Home is where the heart is” “Honesty is the best policy” EXAMPLES KNOWN TO US
At St. Mary’s just ONE very clear value underlies everything: RESPECT
WHAT SHOULD WE BE ABLE TO SEE AMONG OURSELVES IF THE VALUE OF RESPECT IS REALLY UPHELD IN OUR SCHOOL?
THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THAT ST. MARY’S IS A PLACE WHERE: INDIVIDUALS FEEL OK TO BE THEMSELVES WHERE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN STUDENTS ARE ALWAYS HEALTHY AND RELAXED WHERE THE APPEARANCE OF THE CORRIDORS AND CLASSROOMS REFLECT CLEARLY THAT THEY ARE CARED FOR BY STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE CLEANING STAFF
DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF RESPECT: • ADMIRATION • HIGH OPINION • ESTEEM • VALUE • REVERENCE • REGARD
WHICH OF THESE BEST REPRESENTS HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF?
“RESPECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS WILL RESPECT YOU” Confucius
“DO NOT DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT DONE TO YOURSELF” Confucius
SELF RESPECT IS NOT SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT WE DO. IT IS ABOUT WHO WE ARE
SELF RESPECT IS ABOUT: FEELING VALUED
SELF RESPECT IS ABOUT: BEING ABLE TO STAND TALL AND FEEL PROUD OURSELVES
SELF RESPECT IS ABOUT BEING ABLE TO LOVE OURSELVES – JUST AS WE ARE
SELF RESPECT IS THE CORNERSTONE ON WHICH MANY OTHER ATTRIBUTES ARE BUILT
OUR SENSE OF SELF IS OFTEN DETERMINED BY LIFE’S KNOCKS AND BRUISES
IF WE HOLD ON TO RESENTMENTS, UNTRUTHS, DISHONESTY AND LIES ABOUT OURSELVES OUR SELF RESPECT WILL SUFFER
WE CANNOT GET SELF RESPECT FROM OTHERS. IT COMES FROM WITHIN US AND MUST BE KNOWN BY US AND EXPERIENCED BY US AS OUR OWN TRUTH.
MY LIFE WILL BE HAPPIER IF I HAVE A GOOD SELF IMAGE, SELF ESTEEM, REVERANCE AND REGARD FOR MYSELF
MY SELF RESPECT WILL BE CLEARLY SEEN IN HOW I CARE FOR MYSELF
HOW DO YOU SEE YOURSELF?
QUESTIONS I CAN ASK MYSELF: DO I EAT PROPERLY? DO I TAKE SOME EXERCISE? DO I GET ENOUGH SLEEP? DO I TAKE DRUGS OR ALCOHOL?
HOW DO I PRESENT MYSELF IN SCHOOL? WELL GROOMED HAIR CLEAR SKIN BLOUSE WITH CLEAN COLLAR PRESSED SKIRT CLEAN SOCKS AND SHOES A WELL-CARED FOR BAG ALL THESE OUTWARD SIGNS INDICATE HOW I VALUE MYSELF
“YOU ARE PRECIOUS IN MY EYES AND I LOVE YOU”
LET US, THE GIRLS AT ST. MARY’S, BE OUR BEST SELVES NOT JUST FOR OURSELVES BUT FOR OTHERS TOO DEVELOP RESPECT FOR YOURSELF AND YOU WILL BE RESPECTED BY OTHERS
