Junior School

As people get older, they look back and wish they had done many a thing differently during their lifetime. Some relive their lives through their children whilst others attempt to open doorways and live life to the fullest as long as their health allows them to. Some individuals read books to open doors of experience and others write books to tell future generations of things awaiting them in life. Of the many books that attempt to give sound advice to future generations, in a light note I may add, is 101 Things to do before you become “Old and Boring” or “101 Movies to watch before you Die” or “101 Books to read before you Expire”.

   
At Bishop Bavin Junior School we, as educators, have our own list of 101 characteristics, and virtues we would love to expose your child to and develop within your child before he/she leaves us and walks the path to adulthood. These characteristics and virtues are:
