9 Habit Champions
To help us in this process of personal growth and development we have the Oasis 9 Habits. It is our bespoke and unique approach to character development. We know that by living the way of the Habits, the Oasis Ethos will become second nature to us.
We also believe that this process of continually developing our character and being transformed to become the best version of ourselves is really important for every student and staff member alike. Therefore, we actively promote and practice the Oasis 9 Habits which are an invitation to a way of life characterised by being compassionate, patient, humble, joyful, honest, hopeful, considerate, forgiving and self-controlled.
We believe that by becoming people who live this way, by becoming the best version of ourselves, whether we are a staff member or students, we are transformed, and we are also able to play our part in bringing transformation locally, nationally and globally.
For this, children from Years 2 to 6 have been elected to become 9 Habit Champions. These children demonstrate the habits in all that they do in school and the wider community. They will support and encourage other pupils to do the same. The children work closely with Mrs Shukla and Miss Turner to ensure that all pupils feel safe within the academy. They will be a pupil voice for their peers and feedback to the DSL. The chosen children are:
Hawk - Nelly
Eagle - Rita
Raven - Alice
Heron - Felix
Owl - Godwin
Magpie - Karen
Woodpecker - Daphne
Kingfisher - Etta
Chaffinch - Rosie
Goldfinch - Liam
Children meet with the DSL and PSHE lead every two weeks looking at how these habits are taught to the children, safety in school and how the habits can become embedded within our everyday lives.
