Ifa reads out her Kindness Essay during Assembly

One of our school's character values is Compassion which means 'to be kind to others'. Mrs Cho has judged Ifa's essay on Kindess to be the best of all the 270+ essays received from all the classes so she gets to read out her outstanding essay in the school hall in front of all 750 students and the teachers. Well done, Ifa!

Showing kindness in school

How does one show kindness in school? Our fellow pupils have given us many examples. Try them out as kindness begets kindness!

I help my teachers by carrying her books and her laptop from the staffroom to the class. I also keep the school clean by throwing rubbish I see - Nerin Kaur (4B)

Compliment or offer a helping hand to your classmates. When they have wronged you, you can even forgive them! - Mike (4B)

Our personal thoughts about this kindness project

Throughout this kindness project, we feel glad to be helping out to promote kindness to Endeavour pupils. Being the kindness ambassadors, we will try our best to lead by example, as we believe this is the most effective way to promote kindness.

This experience has taught us more about kindness, and we have demonstrated how kindness can be shown so it's now all up to every one of you to make kindness contagious.

We need your help to spread the word, so don't forget to tell your friends about this blog!
