As once stated by C.S. Lewis, a British novelist and poet; ‘education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a cleverer devil’. Well, according to education experts, teachers and parents should be at the forefront in instilling learners with cultural values both at school and home.
At Winchester, we believe that cultural values should be made known to pupils so that they pass on the knowledge to other generations. Our way of achieving this at school, is by incorporating it into PSHCEE lessons.

PEACE DAY
"We must resist cynical efforts to divide communities and portray neighbours as ‘the other’. Discrimination diminishes us all. It prevents people — and societies — from achieving their full potential. Together, let us stand up against bigotry and for human rights. Together, let us build bridges. Together, let us transform fear into hope.” said United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Peace Day. The annual occasion brings forth a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and people.

TOLERANCE
“To treat every person, no matter what his creed or race, as a special soul, is a mark of Islam.” said H.H. Sheikh Zayed(May God have mercy on him) on tolerance and inclusion. Becoming more tolerant of others will allow you to learn more of other people's culture. Being tolerant removes one's self imposed barriers and allows one to think more broadly and enjoy inner peace.

HEALTHY LIVING
Children who embrace healthy eating and exercise habits during middle childhood will have a much easier time maintaining a healthy lifestyle through adolescence and adulthood than individuals who try to make the shift later in life. Teaching children to habitually eat moderate portion sizes and to choose healthy foods in preference to junk foods becomes increasingly important as children begin to spend more time away from home and gain more independence over their food and activity choices.
