Called to Live with Courage
This term students have been focusing on the Mercy value of Courage, talking and learning about the different scenarios in which they may be called upon to show courage. Courage can mean different things to different people, but we remind students that courage is doing our very best, exploring new opportunities, developing ourselves as people of faith and doing what is right, even when fear and uncertainty may hold us back. Below are some things you can do at home with your child to build courage.
In looking towards the future, building courage in our students will aid them in taking healthy risks and not those that will put them in danger, to get up even when they “fall down” or fail, and to stand up for what is right and for what they believe in.
“Speak as your mind directs and always act with courage.” Catherine McAuley
