Initiative

Initiative is a virtue I value, the ability to see a need and the inclination to do something about it.

After the recent storms the concrete between the staffroom and the sandpit was looking very messy, it was covered with needles from the two conifers in the pool enclosure. Today three of our junior boys saw the need and decided to rectify the need. They got out brooms and bushes and pans and set about cleaning up the debris on the concrete. Ben started, Jamie joined him then when William came along he asked if they needed help.   All that without teacher prompting.

Haven't we got wonderful kids.
