Helpful & Unhelpful Character Traits Workbook

When children are taught that their behaviour impacts others, they learn that they matter in their community and beyond. Learning about their character traits can help students feel anchored and important and that leads them to be their best selves in all aspects of life.

Supporting students to understand and reflect on their character traits can help them think crucially about their own personal character traits and attributes. This is vital for them to understand and develop a core sense of self, as well as appreciate how their character traits impact themselves and others. The focus on developing helpful character traits is emphasised in this workbook to support students develop a strong self-esteem and the confidence to navigate life.

Studies have shown that when character education is included in school curriculum, academic performance and attendance increases while behavioural problems decrease.
