CORE VALUES
 
THE BE-ATTITUDES OF A WORLD CITIZEN

Christ-Centeredness
In my heart and mind, Christ's love and sacrifice is treasured. In words
and in deeds, the love that was given to me through the cross is shown to
my fellowmen. The truth that has set me free remains the light that
guides me in my walk. 

Servant-Leadership
Inspired by the words of Christ, "I came not to be served but to serve,"
I help the community through an excellent, competent, humble and
righteous direction. Marked by my deep desire to look after those who are
in need, as a World Citizen, I plant the seed of my youth to the fertile
soil of authentic Christian leadership. 
Excellence In all toil and labor, I give my best effort. Where there
is a need for sacrifice, I am always ready to offer that extra-mile. I
shun off mediocrity but rejoice in the success of my pursuits. 

Passion
I am a person of strength, yet my heart remains broken before Jesus. I
realize that God-given might shall be for those who need it the most.
I am always ready to give a helping hand, no matter how costly the
sacrifice maybe. I am gentle in spirit, an epitome of unconditional
love and tenderness. 

Integrity
The love of God has made me a complete person. Being such, I cherish a
life that shows the virtues of Christianity. In home and school, in
every work or play, wherever and in whatever circumstances I am in, I
become the salt and light that Christ commands everyone to be. I set
the example of a Godly attitude.

“Ask all players to arrange themselves in a circle. Instruct each

player to think of three statements about themselves. Two must be
true statements, and one must be false. The more unique or
interesting the statement, the better! Thus, it’s recommended to
avoid common statements like “I like ice cream,” as most people
could say this and it would not be as interesting as something much
more unusual like “I enjoy eating bugs.”
