Building Character: The Importance of Values Education at Calrossy Anglican School
In an increasingly complex world, Calrossy Anglican School in Tamworth provides a faith-based approach to education that emphasizes character development through four core values: integrity , resilience , selflessness , and inclusiveness . These values are woven into the school’s curriculum, preparing students not only for academic success but for lives rooted in Christian faith and service to others.
Principal David Smith highlights Calrossy’s commitment to fostering compassionate young leaders. “We strive to develop students who will act with integrity and compassion, facing life’s challenges with resilience and a strong sense of purpose,” he explains. This focus is aligned with Calrossy’s mission of nurturing individuals who can be “creators of hope and change that matters.”
Educational Research Supporting Values-Based Learning
