ETHICS & MORALS

Qualities such as personal integrity, responsibility and respect for self and others are necessary for a happy and worthwhile life, and therefore guidance towards these qualities is considered an important role of the school.

The non-religious moral precepts contained in How to Make Good Choices (based on Mr. Hubbards The Way to Happiness) are used for this purpose. Included are:
 

• “Love and help your parents”

• “Set a good example”

•  “Be truthful”

• “Respect the religious beliefs of others” and

• “Try to treat others as you would want them to treat you”.

While the school is not run on authoritarian lines, positive control is used and self-discipline is fostered through the use of the precepts in How to Make Good Choices. The school has a zero tolerance on bullying.

At Athena we strive for friendliness and approachability between parents and staff to help resolve any concerns relating to the child’s progress at school.
