  • Respect for rules and authority
     

  • Critical thinking and strategic problem-solving
     

  • Effective social interaction and communication
     

  • Conflict resolution and emotional regulation
     

  • Teamwork, tolerance and leadership
     

  • Personal and school safety
     

  • Values Clarification

    Other fundamental skills taught are: study skills, culturally relevant anecdotes on positive choices and behaviour, self care, Jamaican Heritage, the importance of responsible stewardship and food preparation.
